Is it possible to make the inner corner of my eyelid wider? (Photo)

Question

For purely cosmetic reasons, I was wondering if it was possible to widen the inner corner of my bottom eyelid, specifically the part where it dips inward. Would this be an epicanthoplasty or something else?

If you convince someone to operate on you, you will be harmed by anything that is done. Do not do this to yourself. If you can't stop thinking about this issue, work with a psychiatrist or psychologist who offers cognitive behavioral therapy to help you not obsess over these thoughts if they are disruptive for you. Please be careful what you look for out there.

Hello! Thank you for your questions. For making the eyes wider and more rounded I recommend you epicanthoplasty. If you can provide photos with better lighting, from the side of your face and 1 meter away I would be able to make a proper evaluation.Best Regards!

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

I would strongly advise against trying to reshape your island and pulling that area down. The area where the upper and lower eyelid connect to the nose is very delicate because it contains the plumbing of the tear drainage system. If you were to lower the part you highlight, you might end up with what we call a medial ectropion, and the tears would not drain where they should go into your nose and throat, and potentially pool in your eye and drop out onto your face. Best not to try to fix something that probably bothers only you in my opinion, and cause a major functional issue. Hope that helps!

Unfortunately, no one can solve that area. There is no plastic surgery for that. We only can remove monglian fold with epicanthoplasty, not that area. If someone try to do the surgery for you, you should be aware of it. After the surgery, some side effects can be seen, so please do not think of it. Your eyes are already so pretty so please have confidence by yourself!
