It's not severe but it really bothers me. I am just looking to see how much this would cost. (a GUESStimate).
Answer: Extra Skin By My Eye Thank you for your question and photo. Your epicanthal fold is slight and the risk of adverse scarring, following a epicanthoplasty, great, and there is no going back once this has happened. Please think very, very carefully, before proceeding with surgery.

Answer: Epicanthoplasty Skin removal from this area of the eye very often results in scars that are worse than the extra skin. Given that your issue isn't severe, I would definitely recommend that you stay away from surgery and leave things will enough alone. Your eyes are gorgeous as is. My best,

Answer: Do not operate on the extra fold of skin Thank you for sharing your question and posting your photograph. It is very difficult to operate on the extra fold of skin which you have and difficult to obtain a good result. You are more likely to end up unhappy if you have this procedure performed. Your particular case is not bad and should be left alone. I hope this is helpful.Good luck,

Answer: Epicanthoplasty Hi. I believe your concern is about the small fold of skin in the corner of your eyelid. This is called an epicanthal fold and would require a procedure called an epicanthoplasty. This involve releasing and rearranging the skin in this area. The results are usually mixed due to the potential for scarring. Typically, I only perform epicanthoplasty for severe epicanthal folds or if there is a problem from birth (congenital malformation). Hope this helps. Best regards, Ira Vidor, M.D.

Answer: Excess medial eyelid skin I would agree with Dr. Gordon's recommendations. Surgery in this area is prone to form a hypertrophic scar which may be impossible to correct. Leave perfect alone.
