Creating an Asian looking eyelid

Caucasian eyelids typically have a well formed eyelid crease whereas some Asian eyelids have a minimal or absent lid crease. Making a Caucasian eyelid crease disappear is difficult but can be performed. It would require both dissecting subcutaneous fibers which essentially form the eyelid crease and fat transfer in this plane to ensure the crease does not reform.

Surgery to create monolid not recommended

It is impossible to create monolids out of Caucasian eyelids. Once the crease is there it is impossible to get rid of.

Oriental eye

You want to have an oriental eye lid. I do not think it is done very frequently. in theory it can be done but you need to accept to try a surgery that is not done frequently
