Is It Possible to Have Surgery to Get Asian Eyes/Asian Feautures?

Question

So I'm mixed, European/Asian/Middle Eastern and I really like the look of monolids, or "Asian Eyes". Also I was wondering if it was possible to get smaller lips? I know people get surgeries done to make their lips bigger etc but I'm more interested in smaller lips, it's cuter :3 Basically I just really like Asian features, especially Japanese or Koreans.

Is it possible to get more asian looking eyelids. The short answer is yes. However, the question you should be asking is whether YOU should have that surgery done?

	And the answer is a resounding NO.  This type of surgery rarely, if ever, give a natural looking result, and will end up making you worse than you do now.

	You have very attractive looking eyes and lips which fit your face perfectly. I would highly recommend staying away from a surgeons scalpel!

can you have surgery to enhance your Asian features?  I have to agree with Dr. Amadi, going forward with surgeries to enhance these features may not be in your best interest. I do get these requests very frequently because of my specialty and in some cases procedures such as fat transfer or other eyelid surgeries are reasonable to perform but often times the results can fall short of the patient's expectations.

	Do not mess with your lips. You may not like them now but as we age they thin and you'll miss them when they're gone.

	sorry couldn't be more encouraging and I'm always happy to offer more useful or meaningful information in person as things do change when performing a physical exam on the patient versus seeing their photographs.
