Inner eyelid indentations; what are these? Are there any fixes? (Photos)

Question

What are these? Are there any fixes?

Adam Bryce Weinfeld, MD · Answer

Those are a variant of epicanthal folds, a minor form of them.  They potentially can be corrected.  One method that comes to mind is something called a "running man plasty."  There are others too.  Most if not all would create scars.  That fact needs to be weighed against the benefit of the correction.

Robert H. Hunsaker, MD · Answer

From the photos these look like what are called epicanthal folds. While these can usually be improved through surgery, it does involve leaving scars which, while usually hardly visible, may be visible. As always, it is a balance of risk/reward.

Mohsen Tavoussi, MD, DO · Answer

This looks like an scar from trauma or congenital cleft which is of Cosmetic concern and can be excused and repaired. Best

You need to be more specific! Not sure if you mean the wrinkle or something else. GUESS best option is taking the time for in person evaluations!
