Double eyelid surgery or Asian blepharoplasty

It is one of the most popular aesthetic surgeries among the Asian population. Most of Asian individuals think that having an additional upper eyelid crease makes the eye more attractive and alert, as well as allows the females to create a more beautiful make-up.

Almost half of Asian men and women are born without an upper crease or with the very low or weak one. The choice of double eyelid surgery differs according to an individual patient. Rarely, patients want eyes that look “Western”. In most cases patients want to have a stable platform of skin above the lashes.

Technique of double eyelid surgery

Before the operation, I will discuss with you the procedure best suited to your eyes and the healing period. As people's faces differ,   no one technique should be used for all patients.

In most cases, small incisions are made and the excess fat and skin are removed. This procedure gives the best result. However, in young patients without much fat, the double eyelid may be created using sutures alone.

After the operation

After double eyelid surgery it is normal for the upper eyelid to become swollen. The use of cold compresses can reduce the swelling. The surgeon will also give anti-inflammatory cream for the skin to reduce the swelling. The swelling usually settles within 10 days. The stitches are removed within a week.
