Hello, I'm an Asian male with existing tapered double eyelids, albeit with minimal double eyelid show. I want to raise the crease to increase eyelid show and make the crease parallel. However, I'm wary of epicanthoplasty as the change can be dramatic and have heard of people regretting the procedure (too much white/red show, looks too "fierce and aggressive", too western, etc). I've seen Asian eyelids where the parallel crease is on top of the epicanthic fold (read, without epicanthoplasty to remove the epicanthus) like how I've drawn in the attached pic of me. But how would I get this done and reconcile the tapered fold? Do they somehow stitch the inner eyelid with the epicanthic fold to make it "one inner piece"? And then would they join the newly created epicanthal incision with the outer eyelid? I hope I explained this coherently. If you look at my pic, I think you would understand. I've been wrapping my head around this for a while wondering how it would work in my case. Thanks in advance.
This is how my eyes look like now. I pulled up slightly on my brow to simulate more eyelid show.

I drew in lines to show how a parallel crease would look like without epicanthoplasty. This is what I meant by questioning how the doctor would reconcile the existing tapered fold (that goes underneath the epicanthal fold) with the new crease that would be formed on the epicanthal fold.

This is a good example of someone with a parallel crease while still having the epicanthal fold (no epicanthoplasty to remove the epicanthal fold). Would this parallel crease be possible in my case?

Another example of someone with a parallel crease w/o epicanthoplasty.

He has a parallel crease now (obviously), but if you look closely, does this look like he originally had a tapered crease that was surgically altered to be parallel (notice the scarring)?
