I'm an Asian with really small and narrowed eyes. I want my eyes to look fuller and bigger. I have heard about the double eyelid surgery and I am planning to get that soon. But honestly, I don't think that will make my eyes bigger. Is there a eye enlargement surgery that will make my eyes look bigger and fuller?
Answer: The double eyelid procedure will help to make your eyes look bigger The double eyelid procedure will help to make your eyes look bigger. Based on the picture, it doesn't look like you have any crease. Sometimes skin is allowed to override your eyelid margin which can make the eye opening look smaller. Also by creating an eyelid crease, the shadowing contributes to the appearance that your eyes are bigger by creating the shadow the meets up with the dark part of your eyes. Another procedure that can help open up your eyes is the medial epicanthoplasty that is done in the middle part of the eyes that will open the eyes up horizontally. Lastly, you can do a procedure that tightens up the muscle that opens up your eyes but this is advanced, is not standardized or universally accepted to open up your eyes. I hope that was interesting for you! Thanks for reading.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Enlargement of Asian eyes Thank you for the question. You’re absolutely right regarding whether a double eyelid surgery will make the eyes look bigger. Creating a double eyelid will help accentuate the eyes and help define the periocular region. However, the overall size of the eyes are dependent on the vertical and horizontal dimensions when eyes are fully opened. Sometimes the vertical dimension is dependent on the upper eyelid opening mechanism. In some patients ,and it’s especially more prevalent in Asians, the muscles that help open the eyes are weak. This is referred to as ptosis or “lazy eyes”. In order the make the eyes open more there are different techniques that help tighten the muscle so that the vertical opening of the eyes are enlarged. The horizontal width can be enlarged by either opening the inner or outer corner of the eyes. This is referred to as medial epicanthoplasty or lateral canthoplasty. Commonly depending on patient’s condition and wishes, we perform these ancillary procedures in combination with double eyelid surgeries to complete correction. Please make sure to address these options with your plastic surgeon with experience since double eyelid surgery on its own does not “enlarge” the eyes.

Answer: Asian eyelid blepharoplasty should help You would likely benefit from Asian eyelid blepharoplasty which will automatically make your eyes look a bit "larger." You may also benefit from a medial epicanthoplasty and a levator advancement, but I would recommend seeing a plastic surgeon with Asian eyelid expertise who can evaluate your eyes in more detail. Good luck!

Answer: Enlargement of Asian eyes Yes, it's possible, A few different ways. 1) Creation of double eyelid- the photo is a little dark, but looking at your skin it may be a touch thick for a suture only technique but I couldn't be sure. Open vs partial open vs closed technique needs to be tailored to your own anatomy. 2) Removing some excess fat to make your eyelids "brighter" 3) Eyelid fold closest to your nose, called epicanthoplasty does 2 things- 1.make your eyes look bigger and 2. make your eyes more Eurasian. Eyelid fold closest to your ears (lateral) can also be added 4) Make your eyelid opening bigger- you can advance the mechanism that keep your eye open to give you a wider aperture if you like, to give you a bigger eyes but this needs to be undertaken with extreme caution. Wishing you the best your journey. Dr Leo Kim, Specialist Plastic Surgeon in Sydney.

Answer: Asian eye enlargement Dear Ghprime,Thanks for your questions.In your situation, a double eyelid procedure is appropriate. You do have some ptosis, or drooping of the eyelids and this would ideally be corrected as well. Typically, in my practice, we use a non-incisional form of double eyelid surgery where small punctures are used to pass a surgical thread through the eyelid multiple times to create the eyelid fold. The same thread can be used to tighten one of the muscles of the upper eyelid to correct the ptosis (Muller tuck). The advantage of this approach is that both conditions, the lack of the eyelid fold and ptosis, can be correctly without a large incision on the eyelid, which greatly shortens your recovery as there is much less bruising and swelling.Aloha,Shim Ching, MD

Answer: You can enlarge your eyes
A double eyelid procedure will give the illusion of a larger eye, but in addition, you appear to have some weakness in the muscles that open the eyes. Thus the vertical dimension of your eye is smaller than ideal. This is very common situation and I find that almost all eyes have some degree of what is called ptosis. When you undergo the double eyelid procedure, the muscle that opens the eyes lie in the surgical field - this can tightened up as part of the procedure to help open the eyes more. In addition, removing the inner fold of skin - an inner epi - will increase the visible amount of the whites of the eyes.
