I have my small eyes. Is surgery an option or not? (Photos)

Question

I have researched and researched for weeks and can’t seem to find what my eye shape is (very visible lid at outer eye but doesn’t show a lot in the inner eye) nor if surgery is possible. The only examples I seem to find are asian eyes but I don’t have those either. I am just wondering if surgery is even an option for me to finally achieve those big doe eyes I have always dreamed of having. If not, oh well, I’ll stick to makeup. (pictures attached)

You have a marked epicanthal fold on the medial aspect of both eyes.  To correct this, a z-plasty along the fold can be designed to correct this.  It will lead to some scars on the medial eyelid so the decision to pursue this has to be done carefully.

What you have is upper eyelid ptosis. This is best treated with surgery by an experienced plastic or plastic surgeon.
