In my specific case, how can I horizontally enlarge my eyes in order to achieve an almond shape ? I have read a lot, a lot, a lot on this topic and am more confused than ever. Lateral canthoplasty? Slight Ptosis?? Also, from a side view, I am concerned with the bulge below my eyes. Can this be filled with injection? I have now recieved micro-droplets of Volbella there. My doctor didn't want to inject too much. So then what is the main problem there? Too much muscle?
