I'm Asian. I was born with double eyelids that would disappear when I open my eyes. L I had eyelid surgery in 2013, the method was mini incision and only fat removal. I choose a medium high crease, the suture is around 10mm from the lash line. I feel like my eyes are much rounder now after eyelid surgery, how do I make them less round? Lateral canthoplasty? Ideally I would like my eyes more almond shaped like before and in the last picture. I have a lot of skin on my eyelids.

Answer: How do I achieve more almond shaped eyes and less round eyes? I'm Asian. Hi and thanks for your question. My advice is not to undergo further eyelid surgery. What you are searching for may not be obtainable, and you run the risk is further scarring from some of the procedures already described by others. Your eyes are rounder because of the eyelid surgery and further surgery is not without risks. That's my advice after 30 years doing aesthetic surgery. Sorry but in your case less is best.Richard Chaffoo, MD,FACS, FICSTriple Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Revisional double eyelid blepharoplasty The procedure has increased the vertical length of your eyelids and has deflated the soft tissue/fat, creating a more round appearance. I agree with my colleague that a medial epicanthoplasty can improve the aesthetic appearance but the procedure can be unpredictable in terms of outcomes due to the nature of the healing forces in the area. You can consider re-inflating the eyebrow/eyelid fat pad with hyaluronic acid filler as this will soften the round appearance. Similarly coating the bone in the lower eyelid with filler can raise the lower eyelid margin. I would be inclined towards a non surgical approach in the first instance before considering revisional surgery.
