Medial epicanthoplasty and asian blepharoplasty: avoiding keloid scars
It is all in the technique and procedure that is used. Traditional procedures that have been used for medial epicanthoplasty lead to a lot of scarring. I would learn to find out what the surgeon does and ask them how they avoid scarring and I would look at their before and afters.

Medial epicanthoplasty scars
When the medial epicanthoplasty is done well, the scars are difficult to see. Keloid is not frequent, although it can occur if there is a problem during the wound healing phase. It's more common in smokers.
