Are there any surgeries available to get wider caucasian eyes?

July 18, 2010
Asked By:Bull In A China Shop in Canada

I know that the majority of eye enlargement surgeries occur in Asia, but I was wondering if there is any surgery available to make eyes bigger for Caucasian individuals (wider, longer, larger). My eyes are lost in a very round face. The only possible solution for widening I have found is shortening the levator muscles. Thank you in advance!

Hi! Thank you for your question and for the attached photo! Indeed, blepharoplasty can help improve wrinkles on the lower eyelid. However, it may not really be your best bet for managing these wrinkles. Wrinkles can happen over and over as we get older and blepharoplasty is not something that...
