Do I need medial epicanthoplasty along with my double eyelid surgery? (photos)

Janii
I went to a consultation and the doctor recommended medial epicanthoplasty for my eyes because of my mongolian fold. My main concern with epicanthoplasty is that the distance between my eyes will be too close together. I dont want my eyes to turn out unnatural and unproportional to my face. Would epicanthoplasty improve the appearance of my eyes? What procedure(s) is appropriate for my eyes? What type/size/shape of double eyelid fold would suit my eyes best?
