XL prominent, round, deep-set eyes, want more almond shape w/o cat-eye surgery (Photo)

Question

Hi, I'm 5'4, athletic build, black (medium toned), woman. I have very large, round eyes with deep sockets. One eye opens more than the other and looks lazy at times. I am looking for more of an almond shape but only want a minimally invasive procedure

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi! It’s very common to have eye asymmetry where one opens more than another. Often our orbits (eye sockets) are different sizes/heights. 
With regards to the shape of your eye, canthal laxity can be a cause of a more rounded eye and the correction requires tightening of the ligament that support our lower lid called a “canthopexy.” This can be done minimally invasively thru a small 4mm incision in your upper eyelid crease. Results are immediate, sutures are removed within 5 days, and swelling is mostly resolved within 2 weeks
