Do wider or narrower eyelids look good? Eyelid surgery (medically known as blepharoplasty) is a common outpatient cosmetic surgery procedure that is small but particularly delicate. Some people like wide eyelids and others like narrow eyelids, but what kind of eyelid is right for you? Is it better to have wide eyelids or narrow ones? Do you want wide or narrow eyelids? This depends on the shape of the face, the width of the eyebrow arch to the lid margin (i.e. the width of the upper eyelid), the depth of the eye socket, the thickness of the upper lid, and other factors. If the face is wide and plump, the distance from the arch of the eyebrow to the lid margin is wide and the eye sockets are deep, the eyelids can be made wider; on the contrary, they should be made narrower. Oriental people have narrow upper lids, flat eye sockets, low eyebrow arches and thick upper lids, so double eyelids should not be made too wide. Almost every candidate asks me: “Dr. Yang, how wide should my eyelids be? In fact, I personally don’t think this number is important, generally 6-8 mm is appropriate. The main thing is to simulate the effect with you during the face-to-face consultation and communicate with you repeatedly so that the doctor understands the width you are satisfied with. In fact, in most cases, as long as a pair of narrow and dull eyes are transformed into radiant and vividly evocative beautiful eyes through surgery, the purpose is achieved, and it is not necessary to make very obvious double eyelids.
