Which procedures would target my small eyes and result in a bigger and more expressive look? (photos)

Question

Hi I'm 25 years old, I have always hated my dead eyes and been bullied because of it.. its the most thing i hate about my face and i would like help in anything i can to make it better. I dont like that its small and lifeless, the skin around it is wrinkly and dark the eyelids too. The eyeball is small too... I wish my eyes would be big expressive and full of life that people would find attractive.. eyes are the most important beauty feature in the face and i cant do much..

Hello @Aoiken, thank you for your question. A blefaroplasty procedure is usually undertaken in order to improve the appearance of the eyes, for example by reducing wrinkles or removing excess skin. However, it is important to note that blefaroplasty will not change the form of the eye. I suggest improving the expression of the eyes with non-surgical treatments by raising the eyebrow a little to make the eye look more alive. For more information and recommendations, it is prudent to consult with one or several board certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Thank you for your question and photos. You would likely benefit from ptosis repair to address weakened eye muscles which may be causing the undesirable appearance you describe. An eye lift procedure known as blepharoplasty can further correct drooping upper eyelids to create a more refreshed and awake appearance. 
I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon or oculoplastic surgeon. They will be able to better assess your concerns and come up with the best course of action to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

You could potentially benefit from ptosis repair which elevates the eyelid. You need an in person consultation with an eyelid expert to help reach your goals. Best of luck.

Hello. Basically, the name of the condition you are complaining about is upper eyelid ptosis. The solution is surgery. During a complete examination, your eyebrow position and movements should also be evaluated. The technique to be done will be determined later. Contact for more information. Best wishes.
