Can small eyes be enlarged through surgery?

Whether surgery is suitable for small eyes depends on the situation. If the eyeball develops normally and the palpebral fissure is smaller than that of normal people, then canthoplasty can be done. In this case, inner canthus enlargement surgery and outer canthus enlargement surgery are both common plastic surgeries.

1. There are two situations of small eyes: one is that the eyeball develops normally, but the palpebral fissure is smaller than that of normal people. This problem can be solved by a major surgery to open the palpebral fissure. The other is congenital microphthalmia, which has a great impact on facial appearance and life. Since the eyes play an important role in facial appearance, children with microphthalmia not only have a unique appearance, but also often have problems with their vision function. Microphthalmia is often accompanied by small palpebral fissure, ptosis, and internal and external canthal deformities. This will hinder the children's study and life.

2. The inner canthus enlargement surgery is for people whose eyes are too far apart and whose facial features appear scattered. In addition, this surgery can correct those whose eyes are not bright enough and whose nose bridge is too sunken. It can also make your double eyelids look bigger, which is especially good for those with European-like faces.

3. Lateral canthus enlargement surgery is suitable for patients with small or adherent lateral canthus angles caused by congenital diseases, severe trachoma, burns, etc.
