Would epicanthoplasty/lateral canthoplasty help make my eyes appear bigger?

Question

I’ve previously had blepharoplasty done to create tapered double eyelids. I think my eyes are big enough in the sense that they are round but I want them to be more almond-shaped, so I was wondering if epi/lateral canthoplasty would make a difference. Alternatively, would it be better to do revisional double eyelid surgery to create parallel/more prominent double eyelids? What about a combination of both?

Based on the photo, undergoing surgery like canthoplasty will result in an unnatural looking eyes. The shape of your eyes are already looking good and it seems like a lateral canthoplasty would not be necessary. However, if you would still opt for surgery, it would be best to schedule an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon for an in-person examination and a detailed discussion of your surgical options.

Hi thereCanthopexy can elevate the outside of your eyes and give you a more almond shape but your eyes already have an upward slope so excessive upward sloping may look unnatural.It doesn’t look like you need any surgery at this point.Dr Mark Hanikeri MBBS FRACSPERTH SPECIALIST PLASTIC SURGEON
