yes, this is just a very very partial eyelid crease, which is very common in Asians. some Asians have complete creases and others have no partial creases of varying degrees of partialness. you may always have a small crease there but if you create a more dominant crease above it (through a standard double eyelid or Asian blepharoplasty), it should become less obvious.
best,

they should look more symmetrical but i just can't promise precise symmetry when you start out asymmetric.
