What Procedures Do I Need To Get Hunter Eyes?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I also need the dr opinion on this if he can answer me back : So I want to achieve smaller and more masculine eyes to get to more hunter eyes look. A surgeon in the US proposed lower lid retraction with alloderm graft with canthopexy but I have been reading a lot about the procedure and seems its better to have supra and infra implants with a skull specialist like your self to achieve more natural hunter eyes look and without the need canthoplasty. What do you think kind sir ?

A: Hunter eyes are hard to achieve and it often takes a combined hard and soft tissue approach. If one has good periorbital bony projection then soft tissue procedures alone would be adequate. (alloderm graft with canthopexy) But of the brow bones and infraorbnital rims are less projection or flat then periorbital bone augmentation would be needed as well. Each patient’s needs must be determined individually.
