Asked By:renegade7 in La Canada Flintridge, CA

I have very slight epicentral folds I would like to fix, but I'm not sure if I'm even eligible for the procedure. My inner eye shows we'll, it's just I hate how my eyes slant downwards. I just want them to be neutral laterally. I'm ok with a subtle scar, like barely noticeable. When I pinch my nose bridge, I get the desired result. What are the risks, costs, and treatment time.
