Is it possible to horizontally shorten an eyelid?

Asked By:James1778 in Hackney, E8

I'd like to know if its possible to shorten your eyelids in terms of horizontal length. If so, how is it done and what procedure is it? I'm aware eyes can be lengthened through lateral canthoplasty for instance, but I'm wondering if there is also an opposite technique. This is moreso a general question I'm asking, so I'm not going to post a photo of myself or my eyes. :-)
