Would eyelid surgery help make my eyes look bigger? (photo)

Thanks for your question and for your photograph.  As plastic surgeons, when we evaluate the orbital area we're not just looking at the skin in the upper eyelid.  We look at the skin, the bony orbit itself, and the position of the eyebrows.If loose skin is the issue, then the skin can be excised.  If the browse are low, then sometimes a brow lift will help open the orbital area.  Unfortunately, if the eyes are deeply inset in the bony orbit options are more difficult and most plastic surgeons not address this because of concerns for satisfaction and safety.To evaluate your eyes a plastic surgeon will need to see you in person, elevate the browse and evaluate the skin to see if maneuvers and he either one of these areas will satisfy you.Best wishes. 

  Yes, I do believe that eyelid surgery would make your beautiful blue eyes more apparent and more noticed by others.  That said, an argument could also be made that you might benefit from a brow lift as an alternative to eyelid surgery.  Either procedure, in the right hands, would likely give you the results you are seeking.  Good luck!

Yes, your blue eyes may be more visible with cosmetic surgery. Eyes can appear more "open" with upper eyelid surgery or brow lift surgery. Upper eyelid surgery can be performed in the office with local anesthesia, while a brow lift typically is performed with IV sedation. For appropriate patients, Botox may be an alternative to help lift the eyebrow and "open" the eyes. Speak with a plastic surgeon to help determine appropriate options for you.Best,Dr. Chaboki
