Hello, I have always had smaller Asian like eyes my entire life. It has always bothered me because to be honest I have a larger head so it to me looks strange and has always made me shy away from having my picture taken. I lack in the nose department as well so I am wondering if that could be the problem as to why my eyes look closed in so much? Is it possible to fix this and if so what would be a good estimate for the surgery as well as recovery time. Thanks for your time.

Answer: Small Eyes
The soft tissue around your eyes and the position of your brow as well as the height of your forehead and full cheecks and prominent chin may give the appearance of disproportinately small eyes. I would suggest you try small, minimally invasive or non-invasive options first to see if you can achieve incremental improvement and possibly titrate the effect to where you see appreciable improvement. You can do that by elevating your brows with Botox or Dysport injections which can also be used in Crows feet region to open up the eyes. You can use soft tissue fillers such as Juvedern to also elevate your brows as you have heavy upper eyelid skin that give the appearance of smaller eyes. Radiofrequency skin tightening of the periorbital skin with Thermage is another non-invasive, temporary option. Of course surgical brow lift and Blepharoplasty will open your eues more but they are permenant and may slightly femanize your face. Facial aesthetics is all about proportion. If the nose looks big, it may be that the chin is too small, if the eyes look small, it may be that the forehead or cheecks are too large. Sometimes to achieve improvement in one area, you really need the adress the relationship and proportion of the surrounding structures. I suggest individuals seek a full facial aesthetic consultation as opposed to a specific procedure.

Answer: Open up EYES with upper lid blepharoplasty and forhead lift
YOU CAN OPEN YOUR EYES IF YOU WISH WITH A UPPER EYELID LIFT AND POSSIBLE A FOREHEAD LIFT. THE EYELID SURGERY ALONE WILL DO A LOT. GIVE IT A TRY. IT WILL WORK! LATER IF YOU DESIRE MORE YOU CAN DO THE BROW LIFT.. YOUR EYELIDS ARE CONGENITALLY HEAVY AND YOUR BROW IS LOW. BOTH CAN BE CORRECTED. DR GEORGE COMMONS
