Would epicanthoplasty be recommended to make eyes appear larger and more prominent? (Photo)

Asked By:Rosie152

I am currently researching eyelid surgery to make my eyelids more symmetrical. I also would like my eyes to appear larger and more prominent on my face. Would an epicanthoplasty be appropriate in my case to help achieve that in addition to double eyelid surgery? Also I heard with epicanthoplasties there's more risk for scarring. Are there any long term adverse effects associated with the procedure such as sagging or losing shape, etc?
