Almond Eyelid Surgery
This type of request to "change almond shaped eyes to a more slightly down turned look" is unusual. Is this to reverse a surgical procedure that you have had done? Many people come to me to have almond shaped eyes (and not the other way around). Almond eyes, or exotic eyes, are slightly turned up in the outer corners, making them beautifully balanced. with a soft and welcoming shape. Almond eyes are youthful, boasting confidence.

Already Almond
Ethnicity and culture often play a huge factor regarding socially acceptable eye shapes. If you have an Asian background, you may not appreciate your medial canthal fold (skin fold near the nose) or perhaps the way your levator palpebrae muscle attaches to your upper tarsal plate (this helps defines upper eyelid creases). Perhaps you feel that there is just too much fullness (fat) of your lateral lid (outside lid)?

Almond eye change to round eye.
Almond eye change to round eye is not a good idea. We plastic surgeons view this as a complication of bad surgery not an improvement on what God did. No surgery for you, please.

Can I Change my Almond Shaped Eyes to a More Down Turned Look?
A picture, or better yet, a personal examination would be very helpful. I am not sure you really want what you are asking for since it can look unnatural, but perhaps there is something else that could be done.

Canthoplasty/Canthopexy
The terms used for changing the shape of the eye is canthoplasty/canthopexy [depending on the subtleties of the procedure]. It is best to use these techniques for reconstructive purposes. You should be forewared that a significant number of patients do not like the results of these surgeries done for cosmetic purposes, as the results are often not natural looking.
Make this decision very carefully.
