Can surgery be performed to obtain an epicanthic fold? (Photos)

July 10, 2017
Asked By:miamr in Seattle, WA

I find the appearance of a smaller epicanthic fold attractive. As you can see in the first three photos (the last two are examples of my ideal smaller epicanthic fold) I do not have one. You can also note that my eyes are slightly uneven, with my right having more skin, which I heard can make it easier to have the surgery done? Overall, based on my eye pictures and my ideal eye pictures, is there a possibility this surgery can be done? Thanks!
