In this updated guide I’ll be going over the softmax procedures I used to ascend my eye area, and showing how my eyes changed over roughly 6 months.
I’ll start off by showing the progression.
Here is the first photo, taken on December 26th. This was around 3 weeks after I began working on my eye area.
Another example from a few days later:
NOTE — When people compare these early photos to the newer ones, many point out that I’m looking in a different direction. This is true. In the original photos, I was looking at my eyes on my phone screen rather than directly into the camera. At the time I didn’t understand how to take proper photos, which definitely affects presentation.
Here is a progress photo taken on March 30th:
IMPORTANT PART —
This photo was taken May 10th, 2026.
Obviously this is a more ideal angle, so I also took 3 more photos on May 18th from slightly different angles:
Morning of May 19th from another angle:
A lot of people immediately point to “frauding” whenever they see major eye-area changes. SPOILER — some of that criticism is fair. Angles, lighting, tension, expression, and camera distance all matter heavily. I will talk about that later.
The biggest change for me was the appearance of my canthal tilt improving from slightly neutral/negative to more positive-looking. When I originally asked forums for advice, almost every response I received was “surgery.” I still experimented with methods consistently anyway, and over time the changes started stacking.
BEFORE NOTE —
A lot of these methods depend heavily on your base genetics and bone structure. Bone structure determines most of your overall eye shape, orbital support, depth, and proportions. You can improve presentation and surrounding tissue, but you are not fully changing your anatomy.
With that being said, let’s get into it.
(Watch the videos fully — they are by far the easiest way for me to explain things.)
EYEBROWS/LASHES —
I use around 2 pea-sized amounts of topical minoxidil foam across each eyebrow. While the minoxidil is setting in, I lightly derma roll the area a few times. Once it dries, I apply The Ordinary lash and brow serum. Lashes I do the same but with smaller ammounts and no derma.
For shaping, I trim hairs at extreme peaks/dips in the brow shape to make them appear cleaner and more straight.
IMPORTANT — don’t overtrim. I accidentally shaved part of my right eyebrow at one point, and the hairs grew back unevenly. Minoxidil especially can also cause eyebrow hairs to grow in random directions when regrowing.
EYEBROW / NASAL BRIDGE —
I experimented a lot with bonesmashing around the inner brow ridge and nasal bridge area. Personally, I felt like this changed the overall appearance and mass around the area over time, although I know this is heavily debated, and also difficult to separate from lighting, swelling, body fat changes, and natural maturing.
I’ll also say this, impact methods around the face come with obvious risks, do not be reckless.
UEE (UPPER EYELID EXPOSURE) —
This is another one of the most debated changes, often blamed entirely on “frauding.”
In my experience, controlling UEE does involve muscle activation. At first, it isn’t truly relaxed, but over time you can train the muscles involved so the expression becomes more natural and subconscious.
One method I practiced was pinning my lashes upward while activating the muscles above the eyelid during blinking motions. you should feel strain deeper behind the brow area. My theory is that consistent control of these muscles changes how the upper eyelid sits and presents.
It’s also important to maintain lower, more relaxed brow posture rather than constantly raising the eyebrows.
UNDER-EYES —
For under-eyes, I mainly focused on hydration, sleep, skincare, and massage.
I use a thick moisturizing eye cream and massage upward toward the temples. Sleep and water intake mattered more than almost anything else. If those were bad, my eye area looked noticeably worse no matter what else I did.
INNER CANTHUS / EYE SHAPE EXPERIMENTATION —
PREWARNING — the eye area is extremely delicate and any experimentation around it carries obvious risk.
METHOD #1
Safer, tense up your eyes while pushing and away with a sharp object. This is more of a “forming”, simply encourages the canthus to build into a point.
METHOD 2#
Make small cut along the same line, down and away. This is more genuine cutting, where you are actually reshaping the muscle and skin. I use very little pressure, I have never drawn blood. Occasionally, I will feel slight stinging or irritation the day after, but its never lasted the entire day.
Do NOT underestimate the possibility of injury in this area.
FRAUDING —
Many users point out possible frauding. Yes guys, I am frauding to some extent.
The easiest way for me to explain this is through the March photos and the injury itself.
The open wound
:
A few days later:
The result:
The asymmetry is obvious. The scar across my right brow changed the presentation of that eye noticeably. Ironically, the injured side ended up with better tilt appearance and lower UEE, while the left side did not.
To balance symmetry, I raise or tense the lower lid on my left side slightly. Over time though, I’ve noticed I need to consciously do this less and less.
AFTER NOTE —
The most important thing throughout any of this is consistency. Most changes happen slowly and subtly over months: sleep, hydration, grooming, skincare, brow posture + growth, and muscle habits all stack over time.
Be patient, stay realistic, and focus on long-term improvement rather than overnight changes.
You got this.
