Can I make my sharp, Asian eyes more bigger and softer looking? (Photo)

saleh123Apr 3, 2016

My eyes are really small and sharp looking. My eyelids do not provide downwards and this makes my eyes look sharp. Also, my inner eye corner is way below my outer eye corner. Can I make my eyes bigger and wider Ming them look softer and less Asian. Is there any software that will give me after pictures.

Serinatang, it appears that the issue you are having is due to ptosis.  This is a condition in which the levator muscle, which elevates the eyelids, is not working adequately.  In your case I would suspect that the sutures that were placed into your lids are the problem.  Your crease appears ok...

Colefisher, Asians like you and I tend to have shallower orbits than our Caucasian counterparts.  Because of this, orbital fat has a tendency to bunch forward towards the eyelids.  A blepharoplasty which addresses fat reduction can help with the apparent shallowness.  Hope this helps. Cheers
