Nose and eyes in Asians
I would recommend that you have an augmentation rhinoplasty first to see if the relative appearance of your eyes are acceptable to you. If not, a medial epicanthoplasty will give you the wider eyes you desire.

Asian Rhinoplasty & Eyes Work Well Together

The effect of dorsal augmentation on perceived intercanthal distance

Rhinoplasty will not change your medial epicanthus

Augmentation rhinoplasty has no effect on the size of the eye opening.
In general, augmenting nose dorsum has minimal effect, if any, on the appearance of medial epicanthal folds and thus the size of the eye opening. However, it may give a visual illusion that the distance between the eyes is not as wide.
