Is It Possible to Have Asian Double Eyelid Surgery Only on the End of my Eyes?

Hello everyone. I had a non-incisional eyelid surgery in March of 2009. My double eyelids are stil very small and I have inner double eyelids. I was wondering if it was possible to have a revision eyelid surgery that only involved working with the ends of my eyelids. I want the tapered eye look with the double eyelid showing a lot towards the end, instead of the double eyelid disappearing when I open my eyes. Would I just have to opt for the incisional method? Thank you

This will create a deep fold laterally.

Double eyelids at the ends of my eyes?

It is difficult to see from the photo you've posted the extent of the problem.
