What Type of Surgery Can Correct the Slanted Eyes?

Question

Kenneth D. Steinsapir, MD · Answer

The answer is that it very much depends on how your eyes are slanted.  There are options.  But the best option for you will very much depend on why your eyes are slanted.  It is not simply an issue of performing a canthoplasty.  The shape of the cheek bone may need to be altered.

Stephen P. Smith, Jr., MD · Answer

Interesting question. There are procedures that address slanted eyes. These procedures are popular in Asia where many Asians want to look more Caucasian. Both the slant and the crease of the upper eyelid can be addressed. I suggest you seek the opinion of a Facial Plastic Surgeon who has significant experience with the Asian population since this is not a common procedure that most plastic surgeons perform. You need to find a surgeon who has a lot of experience with these types of procedures.
