Search Results: having things in common

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.

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?
