How can I achieve masculine "hunter eyes"? (Photos)

Question

I have big round eyes with high eyebrows, exposed upper eyelid, and flat brow ridge. My eyes are ugly and beta looking. They look like "prey" eyes. Masculine eyes are narrow, almond shaped, hooded, and the eyebrows are low with a prominent brow ridge. My eyes look similar to the eyes on the RIGHT in the photo and my goal is to have eyes like the ones on the LEFT. I want to have my eyebrows LOWERED, get a brow ridge implant, and transfer fat to upper eyelids to make them HOODED. Is this possible?

Eye shape is determined by a complex relationship between several structures including eyelids, eye balls, orbits, and surrounding structures. Come change is possible via surgical and nonsurgical procedures but there are limitations based on individual anatomy. Personal consultation is necessary to determine what is possible.

Hello,Thanks for your question. It is important to make sure you do not suffer from any systemic diseases that can affect the eye area, like thyroid disease. Once that is ruled out, you could consider fat transfer or filler to the upper brow, upper eyelid and lower eyelid areas. There are limits of course, but that would help.Eyebrow lowering could help but you don't want to negatively affect your peripheral vision. That needs to remain sharp. I would discuss your concerns with an oculoplastic surgeon. There are several great ones in LA.Good luck,Dr. Shah

Thank you for your interesting question.  With modern day fat grafting, we can achieve quite a change and improvement in the peri-orbital region.  We can certainly move you in the direction of the photo on the left.  However, it is always impossible to fully re-create the anatomy of another person.  Fat grafting to the upper and lower eyelids will give the eyes a more alluring appearance and less of a 'surprised look'.  You should strongly consider a fat grafting procedure.  Good luck to you.
