Based on the pictures, it appears that you have an epicanthal fold.  Yes, this can be corrected with surgery.  I recommend you consult with a plastic surgeon with expertise in blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), and they should be able to guide you.Best,Dr. Michael EpsteinMAE Plastic SurgeryNorthbrook, IL

What I see in the photos is an epicanthal fold. It is a normal variant of the medial eyelids, but if you want this reduced an epicanthoplasty can be done. There are several techniques, but I suggest you see a Board certified plastic surgeon that performs these to discuss which option would be best for you. Good luck and thank you for asking!

Thank you for your question and photos, I suspect what you are noticing is what is called an epicanthal fold. This can be addressed surgically with a procedure called an epicanthoplasty.
