Surgery to Make Non-Asian Eyes Bigger?

My eyes are fairly small for my face. I'm wondering if there is surgery that can make them look bigger. I'm not Asian, no anatomical problems, just really small eyes.

Brow or Eyelid Surgery to Make Eyes Bigger

Without photographs, it's difficult to give a more specific answer. Eyelid surgery makes the eye area appear more youthful by removing excess skin or fat, and tightening tissues. Blepharoplasty, upper eyelid ptosis repair, & brow lift surgery may also make the eyes appear larger or bigger too. Speak with an eyelid plastic surgeon who can perform a comprehensive evaluation and provide an appropriate solution for you.

There is surgery that can make non-Asian eyes appear bigger

There is surgery that can make non-Asian eyes appear bigger and change the position of the crease which is commonly done to change the shape of the eye. It’s important to have it look natural so it doesn’t look like the patient’s had surgery. Be sure to visit a board-certified oculofacial plastic surgeon as they are experts in the delicate anatomy of the eyes.

Your eyes can be made bigger

It depends on what is making your eyes appear small. This is usually due to ptosis, and a levator advancement can open them up wider if that is the problem. If it is just extra skin or your brows weighing down the eyelids, then you could either undergo a blepharoplasty or browlift depending on the problem.

Making eyes look larger

Without your photograph , it is difficult to give you an accurate answer; however, we have many examples of patients whos eyes now look bigger after brow lift and upper blepharoplasty. This is because of the upper eyelid and brow can crowd and otherwise beautiful eye. These procedures bring out natural beauty.

Droopy eyelids

If the problem is upper eyelid droopiness, causing small appearing eyes, then that can be corrected. If the problem is the lower lids, then that cannot predictably be lowered. Dr T.

Browlift can enhance appearance of eyes

Depending on the condition of your upper face and brows, you may consider a browlift to enhance the appearance of your eyes. By raising the brows, the eyes can appear larger, especially is there is some degree of brow drooping causing heaviness at the upper lid area. A consultation with a plastic surgeon would help to clarify whether this is a suitable option to address your particular facial aesthetic concerns.

I think I understand your question better than some of the well-meaning doctors seem to here: I'm also Caucasian with by all accounts beautiful almond-shaped eyes. But, they are definitely on the small side for the size of my face and facial structures. It's not just that I want them wider or more open. I, and possibly you, also want each eye to be horizontally-speaking LONGER which of course would allow it to open up bigger as well but for me it's not about the width so much and I wouldn't sacrifice their almond-shape for a more wide-eyed look. The length issue has nothing to do with a heavy lid as far as I can see unless you're lids are actually falling down and draping over the corners of your eyes. The question then is what would happen if the actual slit of the eye was lengthened and would that be a horrendous idea or a real possibility with some serious surgical skill?
