Small Eyes Surgery That Makeup Can’t Fix - Big-Eye Surgery

On the internet, there are photos and videos of East Asian people with small eyes using makeup to make their eyes look bigger. When you see before-and-after makeup or one side made up while the other side is not, you can really see how powerful makeup is. But makeup has to be done every single day, so it can be very inconvenient. For people who do not wear makeup, they may feel stuck and worry only about their small eyes.

Unlike makeup, plastic surgery is semi-permanent and does not need to be done every day, and most importantly, it does not just make small eyes look bigger—it actually makes the eyes bigger. In some ways, the power of plastic surgery can be even greater than the power of makeup.

Eye surgery - Big-eye surgery

It does not just make the eyes look bigger like makeup does; it actually makes the eyes bigger.

All eye surgeries that actually make the eyes bigger are called big-eye surgery. These include double eyelid surgery, ptosis correction, epicanthoplasty, upper canthoplasty, lateral canthoplasty, and lower canthoplasty. Double eyelid surgery, ptosis correction, and lower canthoplasty are procedures that increase the vertical height of the eyes, while epicanthoplasty, upper canthoplasty, and lateral canthoplasty are procedures that increase the length of the eyes.

In fact, even just one of these procedures can clearly be effective, but big-eye surgery is plastic surgery that makes small eyes, which cannot be fixed with makeup, as large as possible. So for a dramatic result, it is best to do all the procedures that can be done.

Still, if I had to pick the most important procedure among big-eye surgeries, it would be either double eyelid surgery or ptosis correction. The reason double eyelid surgery and ptosis correction are mentioned here as nearly the same is that they serve the same purpose of making the eyes look bigger, and double eyelid surgery can improve eyelid opening, while ptosis correction can create a double eyelid. No matter how well the canthoplasty is done, if there is no double eyelid or if the strength to open the eyes is insufficient, the eyes will not look bigger at all.

In fact, opening the eyes properly is very important for making the eyes, or the entire face, look attractive. When taking an Instagram selfie, everyone opens their eyes wide and properly; no one takes photos with dull, half-open eyes. It is the same as celebrity photos looking more attractive when they are taken with the eyes open wide and properly. Therefore, the foundation of all big-eye surgery can be said to be double eyelid surgery and ptosis correction.

If epicanthoplasty and lateral canthoplasty or lower canthoplasty are performed after such ptosis correction, you can experience the true essence of big-eye surgery. Even with very small eyes, if you undergo big-eye surgery that combines double eyelid surgery with epicanthoplasty and lateral canthoplasty, you will likely see dramatic results in your eyes.
