Cheeklift for restoring almond eye shape
The cheeklift (one version of it) is tailor made to restore almond eye shape. It can even be used to correct bulging eye appearance either after surgery or from congenital bulging eyes. We have several publications and book chapters on exactly that topic below.
There are many types of cheeklift. There is not one cheeklift that does everything. Cheeklifts are very different from each other in their design and what they accomplish. Some of them lift the entire cheekpad complex up and out...

Almond Shaped Eyes are Produced Many Ways
Many patients desire youthful almond shaped eyes, and there are many ways to produce them, but the treatment should not be complicated if the desires are simple.

Cheek Lift for Almond-Shaped Eyes
Almond shaped eyes are a favorable appearance for most people. A full cheek lift is usually not necessary. A canthoplasty or canthopexy alone is most often done to elevate just the corner of the eyes if that's all that is needed.

Surgery to Make Almond Eyes
Elevating the corners of the eyes can be done alone with a canthoplasty. However, a midface lift often leaves excess tissue at lateral canthus from the lower lids. A canthopexy or plasty is then combined with resection of this tissue and can, if that is the desired look, lead to an almond shaped eye.

Canthopexy and cheeklift are probably your best options for almond shaped eyes
The almond shape of the eye is more related to the way the outer corner of the eye is secured to the bone of the orbit. This is best addressed with a procedure called a canhopexy or canthoplasty
Cheek lifts can lift and enhance the fullness of the cheek which will contribute to the almond shape but that alone will not achieve the desired shape.

Cheek Lift for more almond-shaped eyes
The risk you take in trying to change this eye shape to an almond shape is not worth the gain. However, if you have a 'round' eye after already having surgery, then it is worth the risk.

Possibly
This may be done with a cheek lift, but you really need a lateral canthopexy (lifting the outer corner of the eye), which is done with a small incision in that area.
