Double Eyelid Surgery

What is Double Eyelid Surgery?

Double eyelid surgery (Asian blepharoplasty) creates a defined crease in the upper eyelid—opening up eye appearance, allowing for easier makeup application, and enhancing overall aesthetics while respecting and complementing ethnic features.

What to Know Before You Go

💡 Pro Tip: Choose a surgeon experienced specifically in Asian blepharoplasty. The ideal crease height and shape varies significantly between individuals, and expertise in these nuances creates the most natural, flattering results.

⚠️ Insider Note: The incisional method provides more permanent, dramatic results but has longer recovery. The suture method is faster to heal and reversible but may not last forever (5-10 years). Discuss both options thoroughly with your surgeon.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is double eyelid surgery permanent?

The incisional method is permanent. Suture (non-incisional) methods may weaken over 5-10 years and require touch-up.

Will it look natural?

With experienced surgeons who customize crease height and shape to your facial features, results look very natural.

Does the procedure hurt?

Local anesthesia ensures the procedure is comfortable. Post-operative swelling causes mild discomfort managed with medication.

Can I choose my crease height?

Yes, you'll work closely with your surgeon to determine the ideal crease position and shape for your unique features.

How long until I can wear makeup?

Usually 2 weeks after suture removal and initial healing is complete. Avoid eye makeup until cleared.

What about contact lenses?

Avoid contacts for 1-2 weeks to prevent irritation during the healing process.

Can the procedure be revised?

Yes, revision surgery is possible if adjustments are needed—though it's more complex than primary surgery.

Will my eyes close properly after?

When performed correctly by experienced surgeons, eyelid function is fully preserved with no issues closing eyes.
