I have some epicanthal folds that make my eyes look small and ugly. So I want to entirely get rid of the folds. Though I am not ready to accepts the scars that likely will remain after epicanthoplasty. When I try to raise the skin on the radix of my nose the folds become far less obvious. So will radix augmentation help me to get rid of epicanthal folds and will the result be permanent? Or should I anyway consider epicanthoplasty? thank you for the advices
