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?

Thank you for sharing your question and posting your photo. You probably need lower eyelid blepharoplasty revision. See an experienced oculoplastic surgeon for detailed evaluation and proper guidance. Good luck,
Based on your photos, I would recommend a revision, skin-only upper lid blepharoplasty to correct the recurrent excess upper lid skin and micro fat grafting of the supraorbital rim to correct the hollowness and A-frame. You may also benefit from a brow lift. Careful assessment of upper lid...
