Is there any way to make my eyes more exotic looking or almond shaped? (Photos)

Too much white shows in my eyes. I had a lateral epicanthoplasty and a medial epicanthoplasty but my eyes still seem too vertically long. I didn't see any difference when the doctor did the epicanthoplasty so I'm not sure if he even did it. I didn't even see stitches at the bottom which I presume are required.

Temple lift will not lift the lower eyelid or canthus; it will only lift the brows. Canthoplasty with or without lower eyelid surgery can lift the lower eyelids and canthus. There are definitely risks and limitations to each procedure. Need evaluation and discussion in consultation.

Changing eye shape is complex. Not sure if you need surgery but best to have personal evaluation to determine what is bothering you and what can be improved.

Yes. Under eye rejuvenation is best corrected by surgery but there are some nonsurgical options as well. The procedure is safe and completed in minimal time. Eyelid Rejuvenation is one of the first cosmetic surgeries people usually get. While the average age might be 30 to 50's, some patients...

What will make the result last longer is not drill hole but rather proper release of the lower eyelid ligaments using internal lower eyelid retraction surgery. Of course, best to have evaluation in consultation for proper treatment plan. See an expert oculoplastic surgeon.
