Surgery to Make Eyes Look Asian?

Most good surgeons would first be interested in why you want an "oriental exotic look." Cosmetic surgery should never be done to make someone look "exotic." Either way, the likelihood of such a procedure turning out well is very close to zero...so close to zero that I'm sure most surgeons would turn that request down.

All the best,

Hi Mike

Changing that outer canthal angle especially when combined with a midface lift can cause you to look like a freak.  I would strongly recommend that you be very careful in pursuing this goal.  No doubt that you will find a surgeon willing to take on your surgical request.  Tyson Beckford is an unusually attractive human being with actual chinese ancestry explaining some of his exotic looks.  Capturing this type of look surgically is most likely to be a very unsatisfactory exercise.  Surgeons you speak with should also screen you to see if you have body dysmorphic disorder which might also complicate your adjustment to the results of any surgical procedures.

Canthus manipulation (canthoplasty usually means cutting and re-securing in better position and canthopexy just securing in different position) can alter the cantonal tilt, yes and is routinely employed in reconstructive setting or in aesthetic setting. It's not a routine manoeuvre to achieve a more Asian look but because it makes it more slanted one could argue it does have such effect. Puffiness can easily be dealt with upper blepharoplasty.
