Will lateral canthoplasty help my eyes? (photos)

June 19, 2014
Asked By:mareyalee in Long Beach, CA

My eyes are very short and don't show much eye white. I said this before, but it is difficult for me to wear contact lenses/ circle lenses because of this, and when i put on make up it looks very odd. Will lateral canthoplasty make my eyes wider, and is there anything i should be wary of? P.S: I do have natural eyelids, but they are very small. I heard that if you wear eyelid on a daily basis, it would change your crease. Is this true? I don't want to get eyelid surgery unless i really have to.
