Can an epicanthic fold be created through surgery? (Photo)

Question

The photo shows it can

Kenneth D. Steinsapir, MD · Answer

It is not possible to reliably create an epicanthal fold.  I have seen the story related to the photos you have posted and do not believe this story.  It is impossible without the benefit for photoshop to achieve this result.  Don't destroy your appearance with surgeries that are doomed to failure.

Steve Laverson, MD, FACS · Answer

The answer is YES, of course an epicanthal fold can be created surgically.   The more important question is, “Can naturally beautiful and symmetric epicanthal folds be created surgically?”  In the vast history of surgical innovation, adventure, and misadventure, I’m aware of no established time tested relatively safe and predictable published solutions.  However, because you’re in San Diego, we can discuss in the more appropriate forum of office consultation if you wish.
