What Is Eye Widening Surgery?

Eye Widening Surgery refers to a combination of eye contouring procedures designed to increase the visible size and openness of the eyes. Rather than simply making the eyes larger, the goal is to improve eye proportions and create a more balanced appearance. The ideal combination depends on individual eye anatomy and desired results.

Why patients choose eye widening surgery

  • Double Eyelid Surgery – Creates or enhances an upper eyelid crease for clearer eye definition
  • Epicanthoplasty – Opens the inner corner area by refining the epicanthal fold
  • Lateral Canthoplasty – Extends the outer corner to increase horizontal eye length
  • Lower Canthoplasty – Adjusts the lower eye contour for a softer and more open appearance
  • Ptosis Correction – Improves eyelid opening when eyelid muscles are weak
