Double Eyelid Surgery

Double eyelid surgery, also known as Asian blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure to create a visible crease in the upper eyelid. This procedure enhances the appearance of the eyes by giving them a wider, more defined look. It is particularly popular among individuals of Asian descent, where the natural crease may be less pronounced or absent. The surgery can improve the overall symmetry and openness of the eyes, contributing to a more youthful appearance. It can be performed with sutures or incisions, depending on the patient’s anatomy and desired results. The recovery time typically lasts about 1 to 2 weeks, with most swelling and bruising subsiding during that period. Results are long-lasting, giving patients a more permanent eyelid crease. In some cases, it can also improve the field of vision for patients with heavy upper eyelids that impair sight.
