Occasioned by a TV show discussing plastic surgery I had a question. If anyone knows the answer I’d appreciate the straight dope. Can you add and/or remove epicanthic folds (the things that give Asians and certain other ethnic groups their distinctive eyes compared to westerners) with plastic surgery? Considering the horrible ways they have to alter people these days I wouldn’t put it past them.
Yes. Here are some B&A pictures of epicanthoplasty + asian blepharoplasty results from a popular plastic surgery clinic in Taiwan. The eyes have changed a lot, but I wouldn’t say that the “after” results have lost their distinct Asian look. They still look pretty Asian to me.
