Is There a Surgery to Make the Eyes Bigger?

Question

I am 25 years old, white male(not asian). I have 2 questions about eye surgery: (1) Is it possible to have surgery for bigger eyes? (2) I also have dark circles under the eyes. Is there surgery or treatment to correct it completely? Thank you in advance.

Thank you for the question. There are numerous causes for "small eyes" but without photos or an in-person consultation it is difficult to determine what you are referring to. Most small eyes can be corrected by an experienced Oculoplastic Surgeon. The same is true for dark circles; there are multiple conditions which create dark circles. Schedule a comprehensive evaluation with an eyelid specialist to discuss potential options. Good luck.

Generally making the eyes larger is a common request and it is accomplished using a surgery called blepharoplasty.  Theses are very comfortably done on an outpatient basis.  The result is generally very long lasting.  The under eye circle can also be addressed with surgery but increasingly it is addressed with under eye fillers, a non-surgical office procedure.

Best to submit photos for more accurate response.1) the only way to make eyes safely bigger would be through upper eyelid ptosis surgery, IF you actually had eyelid ptosis.2) lower blepharoplasty with fat repositioning is a long term treatment for lower eyelid bags and dark circles.See link below.See an oculoplastic specialist.
