How Can I Get The Hunter Eye Look?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I weant to get the “hunter eye” aesthetic. Deep setted eyes, and no scelara show. Can you achieve this. I plan on getting an eyelid retraction surgery to achieve this but I feel like cancelling and having you do it. What do you think is it achievable. I included examples of eyes that are desired.

A:Thank you for your inquiry and sending your pictures. I don’t really think that type of result is achievable in you from any type of eyelid surgery. If you look at the examples they have very prominent and low brow bones which you do not have. This is more of a structural bone issue than a soft tissue one. While brow bone augmentation may not get you there completely either (see attached picture) but the lack of brow bone projection is more of the ‘problem’ than that of the eyelids.
