Surgery to make eyes look bigger? (photos)

Question

You can probably see from the picture but my eyes are extremely small. I am considering making my eyelids bigger and then maybe getting an eyebrow lift. But the main problem I have is the actual width of my eye compared to my face, I'm not sure if it's because I have large cheekbones or just extremely small eyes or maybe the combination of the both but I would really like to make my eyes look more porpotionately big compared to the rest of my face. Thanks!

Thank you for sharing your question and posting your photos. I cannot see anything disproportionate about your eyes or face. Surgery is probably not appropriate. See an Oculoplatic Surgeon for consultation. It is better to have an in office evaluation. Good luck.

You pictures indicate that you are young and I cannot appreciate that your eyes or palpebral appeture is narrow or small.  I would not suggest surgery at your age.

Your eyes and brows are pretty and "normal" in shape and size. You don't need to see a surgeon of any type but you do need to get some tips from a make-up artist who will show you how to make your pretty eyes "bigger."

Jeffrey Schiller, MD · Answer

I agree with the other doctors that the space between the upper and lower eyelids looks quite normal. However the crease in the upper eyelids where it folds in is quite low and close to the eyelashes. The commonest cosmetic surgery in Asia is to raise that crease (called double eyelid surgery) which can make the eyes appear "bigger". But I would not recommend taking the risk any surgery for you either.
