Is there anything I can do to turn a double lid to a monolid? (Photos)

January 15, 2018
Asked By:JiminieManggatteok

Hi, I'm southeast Asian, and I want to get monolids, to look more Asian, in a way. My lids are kind of a cross between mono and double lids. I have an epicanthic fold, so the inner corner/part of my lower lid is tucked in, whereas about a third of the outer portion is not. I was just wondering if there is anything I can do to turn my eyes into monolids. Thanks!

A.J. Amadi, MD says:

Thank you for posting your question and excellent photos. You seem to have a classic monolid (no eyelid crease) anatomy that about 50% of Asians normally have. In this normal anatomic variation, the eyelid septum, a thin membrane that limits the forward extension of fat, inserts lower on the...
