Blepharoplasty or canthopexy / canthoplasty? (Photo)

Question

Hello,I would like to achieve a more almond/lifted shaped eyes. Would I benefit from a blepharoplasty or canthoplasty? I do not want my eyes to be too open but just a less hooded/tired look

Ali Riza Öreroglu, MD · Answer

Hooding can be treated with an upper blepharoplasty. And the lateral angle of the eyes can be treated with a canthopexy/canthoplasty. A temporal lift can also help improve the apperance of the eyes.  It will be best to consult a board certified facial plastic surgeon in person and discuss your goals and options after a physical examination.Hope this helps,Ali Rıza Öreroğlu, MD FEBOPRASEuropean and Turkish Board Certified Aesthetic, Plastic and Reconstructive SurgeonIstanbul, Turkey

There are 2 anatomic issues to your question.
1-Hooding. that can be corrected with a blepharoplasty.
2-Lateral angle. That can be corrected with a canthopexy or canthoplasty. 
 You can combine both for the maximal effect

You have an appropriate and attractive eyes and I recommend leaving them the way they are.
I’m guessing it may be a high chance that you will be disappointed with the outcome of a procedure.
Doing unnecessary island surgery on young attractive people is pretty finicky business.
When in doubt leave things alone and don’t have surgery.
Best,
