I am interested in a procedure that will give my eyes more of a pulled look and make my eyes more almond shaped and catty than circular/round. Do I need an eye face lift or does an eyebrow lift give one this look? Help!
Answer: Brow Lift Thank you for your question. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.

Answer: Changing the shape of your eyes with surgery Certainly a temporal brow lift can lift the lateral part (outside) of your eye and brow to some degree. It will also unweight some of the heaviness of the outer eyelids and brow. It is unlikely to achieve the degree of change you desire though.A more noticeable change in the shape of the eyes can be achieved with a lateral canthopexy which lifts and anchors the outside of the eye higher on the rim of the eye socket. It is a procedure that is often done for laxity of the lower eyelid as it tightens it by pulling it up.Also augmenting your cheeks either with implants or fillers can better support and give 'lift' to the lower eyelid/cheek junction.

Answer: I have round eyes. How to give it an almond shape and less circular shape? Brow lift will not do it. Canthoplasty +/- lower eyelid surgery is needed to create more almond shape eyes. The surgery is not for everyone. See link below for more detailed information.

Answer: Can I Change My Eye Shape with Browlift and Eyelid Surgery Thank you for sharing your goals and the photos. When looking at your photos, all I would recommend is elevation of your brow slightly. That would lighten the heaviness caused by your brow and enhance your eyes. This can be performed with neurotoxin (Botox or alternative) or through surgical intervention. There are many determining factors and a consultation/full exam would help you come to the best decision based on those findings, age, budget, downtime, and other external circumstances. As for the shape of your eyes looking more like that in the picture, I don't think you are comparing apples with apples. First, she appears to be squinting or smiling which changes the shape (narrows the palpebral aperture). Another difference is that you have a little bit of rounding of the outer lower lid. This can be tightened and elevated through a lateral canthoplasty which can give you a narrower opening. However, an exam of the lower lid would be necessary to determine if you are a good candidate for that type of surgery. Overall, you have nice eyes. In general, I don't encourage my patients to try to change their eye shape unless there is excessive rounding, scleral show, or laxity. My recommendation would be to try something non- invasive and easy to enhance your own look. I hope this helps. Take care.
