Slanted Almond Shaped Eyes (Caucasian) - Can This Be Fixed?

I was wondering if slanted almond shaped eyes are normal for caucasion people and if a surgery is available to correct the slant for both eyes? My lower lids also have puffiness underneath them. They're not like an asian persons', but the outside corners are slanted upwards.
