Can eyes be made longer from one corner to the other? (Photo)

Reliable55818Feb 28, 2022
What I am asking is can you increase the width from one corner of the eye to the other? Or this impossible? I don't mean simply making an eye more almond shape but rather make the eye longer overall . In the pictures one eye is shorter in length from one corner to the other meanwhile the other eye is longer . Can eyelid surgery accomplish this?

Your photos suggest asymmetric pre-tarsal orbicular oculi muscles, not fat pad pseudoherniation. An in-person examination is necessary to accurately determine the cause and thus the correct surgical technique to address the asymmetry.

On the picture that you have submitted, I don't see scleral show, but some lateral bowing of your lower lid margin. A lateral canthopexy could correct your issue. It is a permanent procedure. This means that the result should last many years.
