What type of eyelid surgery do I need to make my eyes larger? (Photo)

Question

I am Japanese with very thin eyes; I’m not what procedure I would need to have them larger.

Edward Daniele, MD · Answer

It is tough to assess with this picture, but the way to increase the eyelid aperture would be a levator advancement or mueller muscle resection. These are both ptosis repairs (eyelid droop repair). This will increase the height of the eyelid and give more corneal show. If this is what you're referring to, I would start with Upneeq eyedrops and see if this improves things and you are happy with the result.
