Surgery to Make Eyes Look Asian?

Now I know there are operations to make eyes look more western, but I am very interested in an oriental exotic look. Im an african american male and would like more slanted eyes. My goal would be for them to resemble Tyson Beckford's. Would canthopexy or canthoplasty make this possible? I'd also like the puffiness removed from my upper eye lid.

Surgery to make eyes look Asian not recommended

It is unwise to make African American male eyelids look slanted or Asian. The puffiness on the uppers or lowers can be removed through an upper or lower blepharoplasty. The puffiness is caused from excess fat and this can be removed through the upper eyelid crease.

Either way, the likelihood of such a procedure turning out well is very close to zero...so close to zero that I'm sure most surgeons would turn that request down. All the best, --DCP

Extraordinary caution is advised here!

Hi Mike Changing that outer canthal angle especially when combined with a midface lift can cause you to look like a freak. I would strongly recommend that you be very careful in pursuing this goal. No doubt that you will find a surgeon willing to take on your surgical request. Tyson Beckford is an unusually attractive human being with actual chinese ancestry explaining some of his exotic looks. Capturing this type of look surgically is most likely to be a very... more
