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

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.

In looking at this photograph, it is clear that your lateral cantoplasty is not correctly structured. Not only is there a gap between the eyelid and the eye that should not be present, but the canthal corner has not been put together correctly. The absolute end of the lower eyelid needs to...

The key to not getting lower lid retraction is to see a doctor who is comfortable with eyelid surgery and hasn't had problems with it. I've never had anyone develop this because we are careful to consider the degree of lid laxity prior to doing the surgery, and make efforts to compensate for it.
