Are there any surgical ways to reduce the size of my eyes?

jo1996Apr 6, 2014
I have big eyes due to genetics (my mother has big eyes) and I've always felt quite insecure about them. Is there a possible way to reduce the size or make them look better? I don't particularly like my upper eyelids as they have lines on them and make me look much older than I am. I'm 18 years of age.

Eyelids can be fixed, but it does depend on the specific type of problem that you have, neurogenic or acquired. One can do an operative procedure to actually elevate the eyebrow if you have good leeway. This will require the expertise of someone with experience in Ocular Plastic Surgery.
