I know there's a surgery make Asian eyes more Caucasian looking but I was wondering if there was a surgery to make Caucasian eyes more Asian looking. (Not monolid. Just slanting upwards at the corners.)

Why does this have to turn into a racial thing?

My eyes aren't round. They're almond shaped.

I live in Japan and I have a harder time when people see I'm caucasian. Also I think the Asian eye is prettier.

Please don't start a fight. Don't post unless it's a useful answer to my question.

I don't want to look completely Asian. I just don't want my eyes to be as Caucasian looking as they are.

It's true. We have a harder time in Japan. Japanese people are predjuice against non-Japanese people.

Technically the eye shape I want might not even be defined as an Asian eye at first glance but it's closest thing I can compare it to.

EDIT: I think the look you want would only require tightening of the skin at the corner of the eye. This could be achieved by blepharoplasty, although you might want it done a little bit higher than usual. This page might be informative (the animation shows that it in the same direction as that which you desire:

It's strange, I've never heard of it and cannot find anything through research. There are many products to make Asians appear Caucasian but not the other way around. I think it is because some people still have the western image as the ideal (especially in modeling) and the closest things I can find are temporary cosmetic products which 'give the eyelid a lift' and are sold with mascaras. Good luck, It's a good question.
I thought this was a hypothetical question. Maybe you should try makeups and eyeliner before anything permanent. I don't think this type of surgery is widespread but as previous answers have said, a plastic surgeon could do this quite easily. It also concerns removing the upper eyelid. (You might notice Asians do not have a crease there).
Sorry, I just read you said not monolid, in which case this should make the surgery rather easier and I am sure you would be able to achieve the desired result.
I should warn you, however, that other Asians may find this surgery a mockery of their culture and consider you a fake. If it is what you want you should pursue it but also take into account the opinions of others and how this might affect you.
On a separate matter, I think Nicole was a previous answerer who took your question the wrong way and made a racist comment. (Actually, she was the first answere, which is probably why she got so much attention).
I think the best way for you to find out about this would be to go to a plastic surgeon or a surgery and ask for information as it is likely to be more informative than yahoo answers. Good luck.
I just found a question that might be useful to you.

I think she has had the surgery performed and contacting her might help you.

Of course! I'm not a prefesional or anything, but if Asian eyes more Caucasian, then why not the other way around? Just go to a good plastic surgeon and talk about the pros and cons of the surgery and don't get it done unless you know you can trust the doctor.
And your right, Asian eyes are beautiful! Don't listen to all the close minded people.
Good Luck!

Well anything is possible in cosmetic surgery nowadays, I'm betting you can do that. I mean it shouldn't be that complicated to slant the eyes upwards.
By the way, I agree with you in that Asian eyes are so extremely beautiful. I too get jealous at times... =)

the surgery for asian eyes is to make them so they have a crease on their top lid. yes its a lil more caucasian looking but many asians are born with the crease already and it is considered beautiful in their culture. i don't think they reshape their eye to make them look caucasian though, they just make it so its not monolid.
also, why would you want your eyes to make you look like a race you're not? (and the excuse you added is even more ridiculous)
oh p.s. the girl who said asians were ugly:

I think you were born the way you should look like. You should just learn to like the way you look, and not care so much about what other people think. Plastic surgery is a complete waste of money for people who care way too much about the way they look and are willing to do absolutely anything to change their appearance.

Sister, a good plastic surgeon could hook your eyes up to your ears, for the right price.
Start shopping...

Of course, plastic surgeons can pretty much do anything you want. I'm sure they could make eyes look more exotic.
