How To Get Rid Of Epicanthal Folds?
Good morning, I have epicanthal folds because I m half Asian, but I don t look exotic at all. I don t want monolids, I know there is no surgery to get them. I would like to hold a surgery to accentuate my epicanthal folds and lift my outside corner of the eye up, so I would look more Asian. Thank you very much!

Hi,
Asian eyelid surgery can be performed. The fold in the upper eyelid is deepened and an artificial fold is created.
You can talk to your local plastic surgeon. Please be aware that this is not a regular blepharoplasty which most so called "eye surgeons" and cosmetologists would do. So please find a proper plastic surgeon and get it done.
The outer side of the eye's can be lifted too but that is a different procedure. Your plastic surgeon would be able to help you with that too.
All the best for your procedures.
