Does Raising the Nasal Bridge Have Essentially the Same Effect As Epicanthoplasty?

November 14, 2010
Asked By:paul80 in NY

I'm scheduled to have Asian blepharoplasty (double eyelid surgery) in conjunction with epicanthoplasty to widen the eyes a tad (nothing drastic). However, I'm also planning on raising my nasal bridge next year. When I pull forward on my nasal skin at the bridge, I notice that the eyes widen all by itself. Should I hold off on the epi, just get the double eyelid done for now, do the nose next year, and then gauge whether I need an epi, at that point in time? Thanks in advance.
