30 year old female, am I a 'fox eye' candidate? (Photos)

March 2, 2024
Asked By:latinbarbieee in Portland, Oregon

Hello I am a 30 year old female who has rather large, round, protruding eyes with significant undereye hollowness. I'm interested in getting a procedure that gives eyes more of a foxeye, or almond shape. What procedures would you recommend to accomplish this result, or am I not a good canidate due to the protrusion of my eyes? Any insight would be appreciated!
