Does lower blepharoplasty change the shape of eyes and make eye shape look smaller?

Question

Guy Watts, MBBS (Hons), FRACS (Plast) · Answer

Thank you for your question. Their are many different variations of lower eyelid blepharoplasty and some some of the techniques used may change the shape of the eye but this usually involves and elevation of the canthus laterally. Most lower eyelid surgery involves removal or repositioning of the eyelid fat pads and removal or tightening of the lower eyelid skin. I hope that helps.RegardsDr Guy Watts

So it shouldn't. There are elements of the operation like canthopexy that can upturn the corners of the eye which tends to make them look 'smiley' but not specifically smaller. The aim of the operation is a general freshening of the eye area rather than a change in size.Hope that helps. Adam Goodwin
