I have extra skin between the inner corners of my eyes & nose bridge, it might be epicanthal folds. Can it be corrected? (Photo)

Even though I'm caucasian, I appear to have this. No one in my family has them so I'm assuming it is caused by an injury to my nose when I was younger that may have prevented it from developing fully (since babies can have it before the nose bridge develops). In addition to the extra skin, I also have a crease under both my eyes. When I pinch the center of my nose the skin around my eyes smoothes out. Also I don't like that the inner corners of my eyes aren't visible.
