Slanted eyes with upturned outer corners often make the face look overly sharp, sometimes giving a fierce appearance. So what exactly are slanted eyes and how can they be effectively corrected? Let’s explore solutions to create gentle, natural-looking eyes with Dr Xuan Quan Clinic – an expert with nearly 10 years of experience – in this article.
What are slanted eyes?
Slanted eyes are characterized by the outer corners of the eyes slanting upwards towards the eyebrows, giving the eyes a longer and sharper appearance than usual. In physiognomy, the shape of the eyes not only reflects personality but also predicts the owner’s destiny to some extent.
The meaning of slanted eyes in physiognomy:
For women: Those with slanted eyes are often considered strong-willed, independent, and extremely intelligent. However, in folk beliefs, women with slanted eyes are sometimes labeled as “fierce” or difficult, leading to certain obstacles in love and career if they don’t know how to temper their sharpness.
For men: Men with slanted eyes are often decisive, possess leadership qualities, and have foresight. They are capable of managing their lives well, but sometimes their excessive rigidity can create a sense of distance, making social relationships less friendly.
Career and future prospects: Slanted eyes indicate that the owner is perceptive and easily seizes opportunities for success. However, to achieve lasting fulfillment, they need to cultivate tactfulness in communication to harmonize relationships with those around them.

Are slanted eyes beautiful or ugly? Should you get surgery to correct slanted eyes?
Judging whether slanted eyes are beautiful or not largely depends on the overall balance of the face and each person’s aesthetic sense. In reality, this eye shape offers very distinct expressive nuances:
- Aesthetic perspective: Slanted eyes create a sharp, individualistic, and extremely attractive appearance, especially in high fashion. Many famous models possess slanted eyes as a “weapon” to create a unique and powerful aura.
- Facial perspective: However, if the slant is too pronounced or combined with an angular face, the eyes can easily give a fierce, tired, or unfriendly impression in daily interactions.
So, should you consider slanted eye correction?
The decision to undergo cosmetic surgery to correct slanted eyes is usually based on personal needs and desires for a change in appearance. You should consider slanted eye correction if:
- The slant is too high: This causes the outer corners of the eyes to be too close to the eyebrows, disrupting the natural harmony of the facial features.
- Slanted eyes with single eyelids or hooded eyelids: Makes the eyes look smaller, giving the face a sad or dull appearance.
- Desired a gentler look: If the nature of your work or life requires a more approachable and friendly appearance, lowering the slanted outer corners of the eyes is the optimal choice.
- Improving one’s fortune: Many people choose this procedure to change their appearance in a more positive way, helping them to be more confident and successful in social relationships.

4 Most effective ways to correct slanted eyes today
To achieve a more gentle and balanced appearance, there are now many methods to correct eye asymmetry. Depending on your needs and actual condition, you can choose the most suitable solution:
Makeup (Temporary Solution)
This is the simplest way to conceal slanted eyes at home.
Using the downward wing eyeliner technique, extend the eyeliner slightly downwards instead of upwards. Combining this with applying a darker shade of eyeshadow to the outer corner and attaching false eyelashes that gradually increase in length towards the outer corner will make your eyes look more horizontal and gentle.

Surgery to correct slanted eyes (The optimal solution)
Lowering the outer corner of the eye is a surgical technique that involves deeply invasive procedures on the muscles and skin at the outer corner of the eye to adjust the eye’s direction downwards. The surgeon will dissect and reposition the outer corner ligaments in a new, lower position, eliminating the upward slant of the eyes.
This method provides permanent results, noticeably enhancing the appearance of a more refined and gentle face.
Eyelid surgery or eyelid lifting combined
In many cases, slanted eyes are accompanied by monolids or hooded eyelids, making the face look cold and aloof.
Creating a new, well-defined eyelid crease combined with techniques to adjust the outer corner of the eye will help the eyes appear larger vertically, thereby reducing the appearance of slanted eyes horizontally.
Lower eyelid surgery
Lowering the outer corner of the eye is a surgical technique that involves deeply invasively adjusting the outer corner of the eye to lower the direction of the outer corner.
This is considered the best solution currently available for those with significantly slanted eyes or short, small eyes.

Frequently asked questions about lowering droopy eyes
Below are detailed answers from Doctor Xuan Quan to the most common questions customers have when inquiring about the slanted eye correction service:
Is lowering slanted eyes painful?
Before the procedure, you will receive local anesthesia around the eye area, so you will feel absolutely no pain during the entire minor surgery. After the anesthesia wears off, your eyes may feel slightly tight or sore for the first 1-2 days; this condition will quickly disappear with the medication prescribed by your doctor.
Does lowering the outer corner of the eye affect vision?
Absolutely not. This technique only involves the skin and superficial muscles outside the outer corner of the eye, without affecting the structure of the eyeball or the optic nerves inside, ensuring complete safety for your eyes.
How long does it take for eyes to look naturally beautiful?
Typically, you will return for suture removal after 5-7 days. After about 2-4 weeks, the swelling around the outer corners of the eyes will completely subside, the crease will become softer, and your face will look gentler and more natural.
