Thanks for this question.Botox is very versatile and can affect eyelid position if used expertly.Unfortunately it cannot be used to improve the epicanthal fold.
Botox can help with altering the position of the eyebrows depending on how it is injected, but it will not significantly alter the appearance of epicanthal folds. Surgery is required to alter the folds. You should schedule a consult with a board certified surgeon that has significant experience in treating Asian eyelids--this is not something that all surgeons commonly treat.
