If you were to HYPOTHETICALLY have epicanthic folds and/or hooded eyes would you get surgery to remove them and improve your looks?

[ElissaDido]

An Epicanthic fold is a skin on the eyelids that covers the inner corner of the eyes. It's mostly common among people with East Asian decent but it's not exclusive to them. I'm not Asian but I have them too but they're minor/ just not as pronounced as the ones you'd find in East Asian people. I also have sightly hooded eyes but you can't really tell with my glasses on.

Epicanthic folds

Hooded eyes

I've been thinking about getting surgery done to get rid of my epicanthic fold AND hooded eyes for many years now because it bothers me a lot when I have to put make up on because I have literally no space to do my eyeshadow/eyeliner, and whenever I do nice make up it gets covered by the skin of the eyelids as soon as I open my eyes.


It's a minor surgery but lately I've been having major doubts. My grandpa passed away a few weeks ago and he had them too, I got them from him. And my grandma from the other side of the family coincidentally has them too.
I feel like now that he's gone, I still have this visible thing that he passed down to me, and maybe I don't want to get rid of it anymore.
Moreover, maybe it makes me who I AM, makes me more unique in a sense considering the fact that they're not that common to have in my ethnicity.


Hypothetically: IF YOU HAD epicanthic folds and/or hooded eyes AND if you could AFFORD IT, would you get an eyelid surgery to remove your hooded eyes/epicanthic folds?

If could afford it I'd surgically get rid of them

I wouldn't get surgically rid of them even if I could afford it

No, and from your pics you don't need any surgery.

I was on a group hike once and there was this really cool Asian girl I was talking to and getting kind of interested in (even though she was with a date), but when she took off her sunglasses it was evident that she had had that surgery; it had kind of been overdone and she looked like she had seen a ghost - ie perpertual look of surprise. It kind of made me feel sad, because I'm sure she had been beautiful before.

I like Asian girls.

So bottom line, use your money for something else.

What are the hooded eyes?

I'm not sure the epicanthic folds really make a difference in appearance? It took me a bit to get what you were talking about because i'd sort of assumed you were referring to double-lid surgery … which is similar I guess but extends across the entire eye. Not convinced that's really necessary either, but it's certainly a more dramatic result.

Uhm. I don't think your face needs any adjustment and would be concerned that you have more room for things to go wrong than improvement.

Your eyes are really pretty. Don't change them please..

Appearances don't matter so much. Just like logos don't. The Nike symbol is great BECAUSE Nike is great. The Swastika is awful because of what it represents.

Nobody who is interested in you will notice your eyelids on the male side of humanity.

Focus on making your appearance good by improving what it represents--like how Robert Downey Jr.'s appearance immediately indicates being cool, since Downey is such a cool guy. If he wore ugly Christmas sweaters all year, guess what? Now those are cool too. It's the person, not the appearance.

People have different preferences for the type of eye shapes and eye colors so it may 'improve' their appearance to some people whilst removing their attractiveness to others. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Personally I don't think it's worth removing ethnic folds if I had them since you just removing a distinct feature about yourself.

I wouldn't get surgery for anything unless it was a major situation... something well defined, that its a significant cause of anguish and that post surgery would truly help this abnormal situation

Slightly hooded certainly does not fall into that category

[Sweatyotterr]

Im confused does the Indian girl have them and the blond girl doesn’t have them I didn’t even know this was a thing I thought people just had different eyelids and that was normal

[ElissaDido]

indian girl doesn't have them
Taylow swift has hooded eyes

[Sweatyotterr]

Oh okay well I have eyelids more like the Indian girl

[chriscdi]

well if i had it not only would i not care but if i did, i still wouldn't do anything because i would be too lazy and if i wasn't lazy money is still a problem

[blutwolfe]

I've seen this usually happen in girls, and they're usually deemed more attractive because of it

[Texaskid1]

No.

I like the "Asian eye" as they say. Sadly there are very few Asian chicks whereI live.

[Muhammad1999]

If it doesn't affect your vision or have any negativity on you then getting rid of it doesn't make any sense

[MarketNews]

I don't know what epicanthic folds are but they're a normal facial feature so I wouldn't have them removed.

[GuidoThePizzaMaker]

Stop being a weirdo, you are beautiful

[llorando]

Can't say that I would.

[esotericstory]

I have hooded eyes but I'm gonna keep them.

[DiegoO]

Nah, I wouldn't.

[red_knight]

They're so sexxxy
