Introduction
In general, making the eyes appear larger can be achieved through methods such as makeup or eye muscle exercises. If these are ineffective, procedures such as suture-based double eyelid surgery, incisional blepharoplasty, skin grafting for double eyelid creation, medial epicanthoplasty, or lateral canthoplasty may be considered. However, results vary from person to person. It is recommended to consult a reputable hospital and undergo treatment under the guidance of a qualified physician.
In general, making the eyes appear larger can be achieved through methods such as makeup and eye muscle exercises. If these are ineffective, surgical options including suture-based double eyelid surgery, incisional blepharoplasty, skin grafting for double eyelids, medial epicanthoplasty (inner corner eye opening), and lateral canthoplasty (outer corner eye widening) may also be considered. However, results vary from person to person. It is recommended to visit a reputable hospital and proceed under the guidance of a qualified physician.
Makeup techniques, such as using light and dark eyeshadow combinations, can enhance the eye's contour and create the illusion of larger eyes. For daily makeup, applying eyeliner along the base of the lashes can visually enlarge the eyes.
Eye muscle exercises involve forcefully opening the eyes wide and lifting the eyelids upward as much as possible, holding the position for several seconds, then relaxing. Repeat this exercise 10–15 times.
