Is it possible to get surgery to acquire a monolid? (Photo)

August 10, 2022
Asked By:Ablan in Bishkek, Bishkek City, Kyrgyzstan

I have one monolid and one double eyelid and I was wondering if it was possible to turn one of them into a monolid like my other eyelid. A lot of the people who asked this question on here was asking it in regards to their Caucasian race. However I'm of Asian ethnicity and already have a monolid in one eye Is my desired surgery realistic?
