Is it possible to make eyes like this with Epicanthoplasty? (Photo)

Question

So I want my inner corner excess skin removed but also make it a certain shape so it looks like this on the photos. Please let me know if it’s possible I want it done ASAP.

Daniel Ezra, MD, FRCS · Answer

Epicanthoplasty is a very effective procedure if done well, and I have had great results. However, it is simply not going to be able to reproduce the appearance of you pulling the corner of the eye with the finger. You don't actually have much of a fold, I think you are looking for a telelcanthus correction which would be inappropriate in a patient like yourself.

Hi,
I think a consultation will allow for the best option and understanding of how your eyelids can be improved by an eyelid surgeon specialist. I think you would get improvement with epicanthal  surgery but not without without scarring or other healing concerns.  Meeting with your surgeon in a evaluation will help give you realistic expectations . Hope this helps.

Barry L. Eppley, MD, DMD · Answer

While an epicanthoplasty is the procedure you need for your inner eye folds, you are not going to get a result that shows that much the lacrimal lake. Using your fingers to pull the eye corner towards the nose creates a result that is not surgically achievable without the risks of significant scarring.
