Can I Get Almond Eye Surgery and A Custom Jawline Implant At The Same Time?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I’m looking to get surgery to help my eye area and have more almond shaped eyes, as well as get a more defined jawline, as well as any other surgeries you would recommend to elevate my appearance. I’m just looking for what procedures you would recommend.

A:It may be the way the picture was taken but it appears you have upper eyelid ptosis with the right eye having more ptosis than the left. Almond shaped eyes are created by elevating the outer corners and the lateral 2/3s of the lower lid by lateral canthoplasties combined with lower lid spacer grafts. In some cases an infraorbital implant may be beneficial.

The optimal method for improved jaw definition is a custom jawline implant.

Using just the front view pictures you submitted I did some initial imaging but I would need a side and oblique view pictures to ultimately define your jaw augmentation goals
