LOL. What are you smoking and where can I buy it?

Look what I can do.

Since my skin is so elasticy I can move it easily. By doing that around my eye, I can make something that resembles an Epicanthic Fold.

Regular Eye(as you can see my eye is Almond shaped so it works well)

When I move my skin.

Scandinavians, as well, have it due to their Asian ancestry.

Scandinavians aren't the only ones that can have them; my mom's French and has so called "nordic epicanthi".

By what i've seen in this pic you seem to have something between a median fold and an external epicanthus. Very similar to mine actually.

I think that's just an impression , wrong , since I've a lot of fat skin that tends to fall over and cover my eyelids , that's why I wanted to take a couple of very close pics of my eyes , in the first one I've slightly squinted my eyes beacause of the direct lightening so it seems I have some sort of epicanthus ; in the second one , taken with normal lightening , I didn't squint at all and it shows a regular eyelid , that goes from the outer corner right to the inner one , at most I could have a median fold but it shows only when I squint , like in the other picture.

Hi there, I just noticed i have a fold in my eyes, could anyone tell me more about it?

Here is a recent picture. I'm hispanic, so I know there's a mix somewhere, tho neither of my parents have this fold, but my lil bro does too!

Thanks!
