I'm 26, asian, and have never gotten eyelid surgery before, but I'm not satisfied with the size and slant of my eyes. I would like to get epicanthoplasty to open the inner corners of my eyes, as well as double eyelid surgery to make them larger. If I also do lateral canthoplasty will that make my slant more horizontal like that of western people? My ideal is to have eyes similar to Angela Baby or Dawn Yang as they both had double eyelids before surgery.

Answer: Medial and lateral epicanthoplasty, double eyelid You have pre-existing double eyelids, but you have some weakness in the muscle that opens the eyelid, as evidenced by your need to raise your brow and the downward slant of your eyelashes. Correction of this condition (ptosis) will relax you forehead and give you a more rested and less surprised appearance, as well as increasing the vertical dimension of your eye. A medial epicanthoplasty will also increase the visibility of the whites of your eye. A lateral canthoplasty works best on patients with a significant upward tilt to the eyes, which I do not observe in your case, so I would not recommend it.

Answer: Canthoplasty? Do I need it? Asian eyelid surgery Morning, I think at your young age the lateral canthoplasty will have little to no effect on your outcome. However, for the medial aspect you could do a release-and-swing canthoplasty while extending your tapered crease to be a subtle parallel or open-tapered crease to give the eyes a more open and elliptical look. Ptosis correction might be in order for you as well. All that being said, be careful how "big" you make your crease because your eyes will look more round, not less.Chase Lay MDAsian eyelid surgery expert
