Asked By:Sayuri.iwakami in Brazil, BR

Hi doctors, my mother is Japanese and my father is Brazilian so I have Asian like eye shape but without an epicanthic fold. My struggle with that is because since I don’t have the epicanthic fold my eyelids are very uneven, sometimes my eyes looks sunken and I end it up looking like I’m tired, this have been a complex of mine and I wonder if there’s any procedure that I can do to get the epicanthic fold.
