Shape Eyes with Blepharoplasty?

My eyes (photo on left) are very tired looking all the time. I also feel they're incredibly un-proportionate with the rest of my face. Is it possible to change my eye shape to the one on the right? Obviously I'm not asking for HER eyes...but is it possible to get more almond shaped, larger and less tired looking eyes with blepharoplasty?

Altering eye shape with blepharoplasty

I agree with the other responses to your question.  While surgery will open up your eyes and change the shape, you should seek an oculoplastic surgeon for a consultation.

Changing the shape of your eyes with surgery

Your photos are very helpful.  There are two main features that make the models eyes so lovely: 1.

Changing Eye Shape with Blepharoplasty

While your eye shape can be modified with blepharoplasty, please don't expect to be magically transformed into another person.  There are factors such as your underlying anatomy, tissue quality, bone structure, etc which affect how your look and can limit the possibilities of surgery.  That said, surgery can be amazing and you should definitely have the procedure if you want to.  Good luck.

Eye shape change

I doubt you can have eyes exactly like the photos you posted, but a slight almond appearance can be created with a canthopexy or canthoplasty. Although I do canthopexy surgery all the time, I try to only support the lower lid and do not exaggerate the appearance.

A good deal of care is advised here.

Dear In Houston Even with green contact lens, no one will be able to transform your eyes to the second eye pair.  Would you benefit from a thoughtful and carefully performed Asian double fold surgery?  No question.  However it may be that you might benefit from lateral canthal reconstruction to change the outer canthal angle as well.  I would be very careful in shopping for an eyelid surgery.  Your risk of getting a very unsatisfactory eyelid surgery is high.... more

You have typical asian eyes and there is no upper eyelid fold. The surgical treatment involves creating the upper lid fold. Some plastic surgeon are more experienced in this surgery .
