Options for Enlargement of Asian Eyes
I'm an Asian with really small and narrowed eyes. I want my eyes to look fuller and bigger. I have heard about the double eyelid surgery and I am planning to get that soon. But honestly, I don't think that will make my eyes bigger. Is there a eye enlargement surgery that will make my eyes look bigger and fuller?

Enlargment of the Asian Eyelid
Height & width customization
There is no doubt that your eyes can actually be larger or bigger/brighter. Doing this takes more than simply removing some skin. Eyes can be enlarged in two dimensions: width and height.
Height:
In a young person like yourself it would be a small amount of skin, possibly a concervative amount of fat, and a simultaneous advancement of the muscle that opens your eyelid. Performing all these things together in a single...

Options for Enlargement of Asian Eyes
You’re correct in that traditional double eyelid surgery does not make the eyes bigger. One would think that their eyes have gotten bigger after getting traditional double eyelid surgery because double eyelid surgery takes up the excess hooding on the upper eyelid. Therefore, if there was excess skin that’s covering a significant portion of the color aspect of the eye that is being shown then after the double eyelid surgery one would think that his eyes have gotten bigger since...

Big eyed look in an Asian
Your desire for larger eyes is a simple desire but not easily answered. It depends on a number if factors including where you would like to position your eyelid crease, how low (ptotic) your upper eyelid is, and the function of your two eyelid muscles (levator and müllers muscle)?
If your eyelid is droopy 2mm or less and you have good response to a phenylephrine drop (administered during examination of your eyes) then a müllerectomy performed during your double eyelid...

To open the eyelids
There are several methods to open the eyes:
1. Asian blepharoplasty - this is when a certain amount of skin is removed to create a crease that is seen in western eyelids. It can create the appearance of a bigger eye aperture.
2. Levator advancement - This is when the main muscle to lift the eyelid is tightened. Probably not recommended in your case
3. Muellerectomy - This is when the second muscle to lift the eyelid is tightened. It may or may not help in you
4. Botox -...

The double eyelid procedure will help to make your eyes look bigger
The double eyelid procedure will help to make your eyes look bigger. Based on the picture, it doesn't look like you have any crease. Sometimes skin is allowed to override your eyelid margin which can make the eye opening look smaller. Also by creating an eyelid crease, the shadowing contributes to the appearance that your eyes are bigger by creating the shadow the meets up with the dark part of your eyes.
Another procedure that can help open up your eyes is the medial...

Surgery for Asian upper eyelids can open up the eyes
Hi Ghprime - Upper eyelid surgery can be done, as you've found out, to "open up the eyes" for Asian upper eyelids. This will add to the size of your eyes and make the appearance "bigger." The surgery is pretty easy with minimal downtime and discomfort. Good luck!

Asian Eye Enlargement
The only difference in the upper lids of Asian VS Non-Asians is WHERE on the upper lid the muscle which lifts the lid attaches. In Asians it attaches very low while in others it attaches almost a cm above the lash line. In so doing, upper lid fat is kept 1cm or so above the lash line.
"Double eyelid" or "Eastern to Western Eyelid" operations is VERY popular in the Far East where economic affluence leads many to appear more western. The operations raise the location of...

You can enlarge your eyes
A double eyelid procedure will give the illusion of a larger eye, but in addition, you appear to have some weakness in the muscles that open the eyes. Thus the vertical dimension of your eye is smaller than ideal. This is very common situation and I find that almost all eyes have some degree of what is called ptosis. When you undergo the double eyelid procedure, the muscle that opens the eyes lie in the surgical field - this can tightened up as part of the procedure to help open the eyes...

Yes, you can make the opening larger
You can make the opening larger by shortening the levator muscle as it attaches into the tarsal plate of the upper eyelid. It can be combined with an upper eyelid blepharoplasty.

Eye surgery can create the apperance of more open eyes
Many of our patients request treatments to make there eyes larger. In reality we don’t make the eyes larger but can make them appear to be more open. This is done mainly through a procedure called Blepharoplasty.
This allows the surgeon to remove some of the extra eyelid skin so that the lid margin and eyelashes are more prominent visually. It gives the appearance of larger more open eyes. In addition for some Asian patients a crease in the upper eyelid can be created to give...
