Are there surgical options that can help me achieve a ephicantic fold or monolid? (photos)

Question

I'm blasian and I have a doble-lid without an ephicantic fold, when I was younger I had it, but now I don't. I always wanted to look more like my mom, look more filipino. She was the only one that raised me and I always wanted my eyes to look like hers. I have quite fat in the eye and if I pull it down I can create something like an ephicantic fold. Is there any surgical or non-surgical process to get monolids or at least an ephicantic fold?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.
