Question

I am part Asian and part white and I have a slight epthantic food but I would like it to be more prominent.

Dear sarahw1234,
Thank you for your enquiry. You have Type II epicanthal fold where there is slight hooding of the lacrimal lake. Epicanthoplasty surgery can be performed with scars concealed along the lower eyelid margins to increase the prominence of the lacrimal lake and remove the epicanthal fold.
I hope this answers your question. Have a nice day ahead!

Thank you for your question. It is a bit unusual to want to add an epiphanic fold as most Asian patients looking for eye rejuvenation want to remove it. Because this is not a common procedure, I would look for a board-certified facial plastic surgeon with extensive experience in ethnic blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery). Schedule a consultation where you can fully explain your aesthetic goals and see if the surgeon feels you would be a good candidate for the procedure. Best wishes as you pursue surgery!
