Should I get epicanthoplasty for pseudostrabismus? (photos)

November 8, 2016
Asked By:astrastorm in Toronto, ON

I have very wide-set eyes, relatively prominent epicanthal folds, and a flat nose bridge that gives the illusion that my eyes are crossed, aka pseudostrabismus. What procedures would you recommend to get rid of this cross-eyed look?
