Asian eye shape but caucasian - how to remove epicanthic fold or tilt eyes downward? (photos)

March 3, 2022
Asked By:Suzz878

I have an asian eye shape with an epicanthic fold. I have no asian ancestry as far as I know but many members from my family have small eyes and an "asian touch". My eyes are also tilted "upwards" like east asian eyes often do. I had an eyelid lift 7 year ago, that's why I have some small scars and maybe also an unnatural looking. My question is: Is it possible to make the shape more western-looking? Remove the epicanthic fold or tilt the eyes more downwards somehow?
