Is there any way to reduce my intercanthal distance by 2 mm per side? I'm thinking epicanthoplasty or double z-plasty (Photo)

Asked By:Easytiger2003 in San Luis Obispo, California

I looked at epicanthoplasty, but I'm not sure if I have excess skin near the medial canthus. I also looked at double z-plasty, which can shorten the medial tendon slightly to pull the inner corners of the eye towards the nose. However, I am unsure if this would work for me. When I pull on the surrounding skin, a red, hollow-looking area shows. Is there any way to possibly achieve this effect, even with reconstructive surgery? My nasal bridge is short. Would raising it 6 mm have an effect?
