I Want Epicanthoplasty. Can I Get the Skin Squeezed to Eliminate the Folds? (photo)

What you are decribing is the effect of an epicanthoplasty. What it can effectively achieve your goals, it will also leave a scar. It is impossible to predict in Asian skin types how well that scar will do. For many it is just fine but for others it may be an unacceptable trade-off.

Morning,

 

To answer your question about that specific maneuver. . .not really.  Often times when the nasal bridge is augmented or and implant is added you get an affect similar to what you describe but it tends to be temporary.   The best long term result for your requires an epicanthoplasty which is done in several different ways depending on the person's anatomy.  Essentially you will take 7 to 21 days to heal to a point that the incisions are not noticeable.  Everyone is different.  This can be performed under local anesthesia.  I'll gently caution you, however, this procedure (while low) has a higher rate of scaring than other eyelid procedures and is tough to revise.  You may be able to have it performed with sutures only.  See this video that shows a before and after for just such a case but only on one side.

 

Best of luck
