Epicanthal fold treatment
Epicanthoplasty will leave some scars but in many cases it is necessary. It will not interfere with upper lid function or healing, but the concern more often centers on scar visibility. If the fold is prominent, it is often worth the trade-off.

This is a high risk procedure that is generally not recommended
Yes this is a high reward procedure that can take your inside fold to an outside fold. However, you are gambling that the skin will heal without visible scars. The scaring would be in a highly visible place. It is seldom worth taking this risk. Remember it is you not your surgeon who has to live with these scars.

What Are Some of the Effects on the Epicanthal Fold During Asian Eyelid Surgery?
Alterations of the epicanthal fold do not prolong healing, per se. However, it will be another area that has to heal and there is the possibility for some scar formation there. Contact lenses can be worn as directed by your surgeon after a defined postpperative healing period.
