What procedure will make my aging eyes more open and almond shaped? (Photos)

pukipuki2Nov 25, 2023
Over the years, my eyes have lost some of their almond shape and look smaller, almost out of proportion for my face. I had upper blepharoplasty and endotine brow lift as the outer corners of my brows were also slightly droopy. Another procedure: filler in upper eyelid to restore volume.
