  7. IN ADDITION TO PTOSIS...

In addition to ptosis correction, would I benefit from a canthoplasty or brow lift to get a more elongated/exotic eye?

Asked By:RealSelfMember03416

I know I have ptosis in my left eye (picture right). I was born that way and though it's mild it's enough for me to notice it and want it corrected. Aesthetically, I like my eyes for the most part but I'd love a more elongated and exotic look like Miks Kunis's eyes (second picture I put). I know I will get a ptosis correction, but in addition to that would I benefit more from a canthoplasty or a brow lift to get that elongated look I want?
