Eyelid surgery to remove the skin fold in my inner corner? (Photo)

Question

is there surgery to remove the skin fold in my inner corner to make my eyes bigger.. People say my eyes look Asian

Joseph Mlakar, MD · Answer

The extra fold on an inner lid is called an epicanthal fold, and there are a number of surgical treatments that can be done in order to reduce it or reshape it. Historically, one approach was the Mustarde' jumping man incision. But most Epicanthal folds are normal variants, and familial traits.  Surgery may not make you more attractive. Hang out with the people who like the way you look now.  Or find a plastic surgeon to change the shape of your eye.  Your call.  Good luck.

This is an uncommon procedure so be sure to discuss this with an oculoplastic surgeon or experienced PS who has performed these procedures.

You have a mild epicanthal fold and try to correct that, it would make the eyelid scar and not look good. You have beautiful eyes. I believe , you need to work on your freinds and people that say this to you, not on you.

John L. Burns Jr., MD · Answer

Looking at your photo, I do not believe upper eyelid surgery would be a good idea.  You have a well defined supratarsal crease.

James R. Gordon, MD, FACS, FAAO · Answer

Thank you for the question and photo. It looks like you have a minimal amount of extra skin on the upper eyelids. It may not be sufficient to warrant surgery, because you do not want to be over-corrected. You should see an experienced board certified oculoplastic surgeon for consultation. Make sure he sounds conservative about treatment options. Good luck.
