Surgery to Get Wider Eyes? (photo)

The only surgery that could benefit you is a conservative upper lid blepharoplasty for oriental eyes. Your eyes will look more open because the excess skin of the upper lid is removed this excess skin by some optic illusion makes the eyes look smaller than they are. It is not possible to widen the eyes and you do not need ptosis surgery.

If by "widening" your eyes you mean to have them be a bit more open vertically, then subtle ptosis surgery might be an option for you. However if you mean you want to horizontally widen them, then this is not a great idea. As mentioned previously, the scars cannot be hidden well, and the chance of an unsightly scar is not worth the possible benefit, in my opinion.

These are procedures that are getting thrown at Asian patients but the results are not good unless you have an unusually loose lower eyelid or disinserted lateral canthal angle.  It is possible that medial epicanthoplasty would be helpful but it is high risk.  By that I means that it places a scar in a very visible place on your face.  Some of these surgeries are brilliant.  Others are disasters.  I do not believe that surgeons have complete control over the healing process that determines which way the surgery goes so it is hard to be enthusiastic about the procedure.   Ptosis surgery might be beneficial for you but the only way to assess that is through an in person consultation.  Please be careful out there.
