Can I make my eyes deep set? (photo)

Question

I have asian eyes or eyes that are flush with my brow ridge. Can surgery give the illusiom of deep set eyes?

Hugo Higa, MD · Answer

colefisher, Asians like you and I tend to have shallower orbits than our Caucasian counterparts.  Because of this, orbital fat has a tendency to bunch forward towards the eyelids.  A blepharoplasty which addresses fat reduction can help with the apparent shallowness.  Hope this helps. Cheers

Fat reduction may give you the OPPOSITE of what you're looking for and make you look older prematurely.   I perform Asian eyelid surgery every day and I can tell you you need to be careful.In general if you make a nice low crease it can add a look of depth but with your anatomy if won't look strikingly deep and the eye won't look much more deep set.  It will have a "look" of being more deep set and more contoured.  Be careful.  You request and anatomy required very experienced hands.Chase Lay, MDAsian eyelid surgery specialist.
