Asked By:ziad.ashraf in New Valley Governorate, Egypt

So i went to an eye doctor and he told me i have euryblepharon and I was born with it but it really annoys me and it makes my eyes always red and teary and he told me only way to fix it is to get a skin graft from my earlobe or thigh and put it in the gap, but he told me theres a chance it wont be successful, so should i take the risk or not? And if a surgery like this is done before can i have before and after?
