Surgery to Make Non-Asian Eyes Bigger?

There are several surgical techniques to make one's eyes bigger. The most important thing is to ensure a natural appearance rather than an artificial look or bugged-eyed result. See an eyelid specialist ( oculoplastic surgeon ) to achieve the best results. 

Hi there,
Without seeing any photos, it's difficult to advise most suitable procedures that will make your eyes look bigger.
Understanding peri-orbital aesthetics with reference to an optimal facial harmony is the key to deciding what treatment options that will be ideal for your eyelid enhancement in achieving the perception of a "larger eyes" effect! There are a multitude of surgical and non-surgical options that can work synergistically to achieve your desired effect but it'll also be guided by your expectation of what "bigger" eyes mean to you.
I strongly advise you seeing a qualified Specialist Plastic Surgeon for further in depth discussion.
Best wishes

Each patient is unique. Patients with heavy eyelids or brows may benefit from upper eyelid surgery or a brow lift in order to open the eyes and improve the appearance of the upper face. Patients with eyelid ptosis or drooping may need ptosis repair to open the eyes more.
Be sure to see an expert for a formal evaluation and treatment recommendations.
All the best,

Thank you for your question. Often times soft tissue procedures such as blepharoplasty can help. One must be careful though as the lid coverage of the eye is very important and keeps the cornea healthy. Best of luck!DrC

The real answer to your question can only be determined by an in-person consultation. However, eyes often appear to be small owing to excess skin on the eyelid or a droopy brow. Each of these is easily remedied with either upper blepharoplasty or a brow lift. The goal would be to reveal more of your eye while keeping your expression relaxed and natural. This takes a great deal of skill, so please take your time finding an expert to help you. I hope this helps.

                  It’s
not unusual for patients to want larger eyes. Large eyes are considered
provocative and very attractive.

                  In
some cases, surgical intervention can make the eyes look larger, but the type
of surgery depends on the characteristics of the eye. Blepharoplasty, brow
lifts and ptosis repairs all have the potential to make the eyes look larger
under the right circumstances. Without a physical exam or pictures, it’s
impossible to know what options are available for any particular patient. 

Without photographs, it's difficult to give a more specific answer. Eyelid surgery makes the eye area appear more youthful by removing excess skin or fat, and tightening tissues. Blepharoplasty, upper eyelid ptosis repair, & brow lift surgery may also make the eyes appear larger or bigger too. Speak with an eyelid plastic surgeon who can perform a comprehensive evaluation and provide an appropriate solution for you.

 

If the problem is upper eyelid droopiness, causing small appearing eyes, then that can be corrected.  If the problem is the lower lids, then that cannot predictably be lowered.

Hi @NewToski,
Thanks for the great question regarding eye size. There are a few things that can cause you to have "small appearing eyes". 
If your upper eyelid droops (eyelid ptosis) this can show less of your eye and give the appearance of a small eye. This can be corrected by a variety of techniques, but my favorite is a tarsolevator advancement to correct the droopy upper eyelid. 
If your lower eyelid is too high, this can also cause less of your eye to be exposed and this can also be treated by a variety of procedures. One option is simply BOTOX to the orbicularis oris muscle. 
If your eye socket is too big, this can cause your eye to sink back which makes it look smaller too. This is called Enophthalmos and can be treated by an implant to bring your eye socket to a more normal volume or size. 
Wishing you the best of luck and hope to see you get better soon!
Thanks,

An individualised treatment can often lead to your eyes appearing bigger, it largely depends on your anatomy. If the eye opening is the cause there are some adjustment of the eye opening mechanism that can make your eyes appear larger.
