I personally really like the look of asian eyes, but I have caucasian double lids, and I was wondering if it would be possible to get a surgery to CREATE a monolid and about how much is would cost + downtime etc.

The amount of nasal bridge augmentation in that area will not affect the medical epicanthus. Raising the bridge of the nose CAN make the eyes look closer together, so in some cases you may need to under-augment the bridge to prevent this.
You'll need a separate epicanthoplasty...
Dear shiningstar,
I would ask your surgeon these questions, as there are many different practices and techniques. Good luck with your recovery.

Age 14 is probably too young to have Asian eyelid surgery. I would recommend waiting until age 18-20. The reason is that your eyelids are still growing and changing more at age 14 than at a later age.
