I've always wanted that 'cat eye' look. What procedure would be best for that look? (photos)

Question

Hi. I have hooded eyelids and they are getting worse the older i get. I've always wanted that 'cat eye' look. What procedure would be best for that look? I also have tattoos around my eyes and on my face so im guessing these would be affected. Here are pictures of my own eyes, and a picture of what my dream look would be. thanks!

Hi Nancyharry,
Based on the images you provided, there are a few alternatives you can opt for to achieve the “cat-eye” look you want. However, there are several anatomical factors that need to be considered before deciding on the procedure or procedures that will be performed. Your best option is to consult with an experienced facial plastic surgeon that has a large portfolio of before and after photos of similar work.
Kind regards,
Dr Julian De Silva

Yes it is possible to change your eye shape. It is important to consider preserving eye function and realistic appearance after eyelid surgery. Evaluation and discussion in consultation with expert is important.
