Medical - Medical (general) / aesthetic medicine
Italian term or phrase: occhi obliqui laterali
I am translating a presentation for an aesthetic medicine convention and I came across this sentence:

"Nel prossimo congresso di medicina estetica tratteremo anche l’argomento “aree anatomiche dimenticate”. Padiglioni auricolari, per esempio, oppure gli occhi obliqui lateralmente o prominenti o incavati."

I would appreciate any help with the English translation of the term "occhi obliqui laterali".
