Is it possible to make Caucasian, European eyes look more Asian with Botox?

Question

I have classic european eyes, with big lids (i really don't like them), and I'm wondering if is it possible to change my eyes to more asian, maybe lowering my crease, or something else, and how? Where should the doctor inject the botox?

If you want a more lifted appearance to the outer aspects of your eyelid, you would need a canthopexy, or in other words, eyelid surgery. Botox will not create this effect. You could get a more laterally lifted brow with Botox injected into the right areas, but it will not lift the lateral aspect of your eyes to the degree you desire. Botox will also not create a crease. Eyelid surgery is needed to create a crease, especially if you have detachment of the muscles of your upper eyelid that create the crease. An evaluation by a specialist in oculoplastics would give you your best chance of getting the result you want or at least, closer to it!

Usually it is the Asian eyes that want to become more Caucasian but it is possible to change the shape of the eyes somewhat with Botox. you need to see a very experienced board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon or oculoplastic surgeon
