Possible to Have Surgery To Enhance My Epicanthal Folds?

Good morning, I have epicanthal folds because I'm half Asian but unfortunately I don't look exotic at all. I do not want monolids because I know there is no surgery to get them. I would like to hold a surgery to accentuate my epicanthal folds. Is it possible? Thank you very much!!!

A: Can an epicanthal fold be enhanced?

Generally speaking, the answer is yes. I get this request frequently and all I can tell you is that every Asian and/or Eurasian eyelid is different from the last.  Wish I could be more help but I'd need at least a photo.  To give you a broad description:  You'd likely need to advance some skin/tissue from adjacent areas to achieve this.

Best of luck

A: No photos so this answer is entirely hypothetical.

Hypothetically it is possible to deepen the inside fold which can accentuate the epicentral fold.  A more definite answer requires a personal consultation or at best an actual photograph.

Undo Asian Double Eyelid by Adding Buffer Between Scar Tissue and Skin?

If an Asian with previous double eyelid had anchor technique to heighten crease is now dissatisfied with the higher crease, can they create a buffer using fat to eliminate surgical crease and not have a new crease made?

A: This sounds like a tough problem

Posting up some photos would help get a sense of the difficulty of the problem. Lowering a high crease is possible but depends on many factors such as how much fat was removed, how high is the crease and what is the position of the eyeball in relation to your eye socket. It's difficult to eliminate the crease but you may be able to get the crease much smaller and into an acceptable range.
