What is Asian Double Eyelid Surgery?
If the Asian patient chooses to Westernize eyelids, it can be performed successfully and tastefully. The “Double eyelid fold” procedure describes the surgery that gives the upper eyelid a visible crease when the eye is open. This change to the upper eyelid makes it easier to apply makeup. It is considered to be a desirable aesthetic appearance in many Asian cultures. Many individuals of Asian descent opt for Asian blepharoplasty at our offices in Boston, Beverly, or New York City to enhance their single eyelid or create a more defined eyelid crease.
The Procedure
The process begins with a thorough consultation, during which Dr. Ioannis Glavas, the eyelid specialist, assesses your eyelid structure, discusses your goals, and explains the surgical options available.
Dr. Glavas has clinical experience and has publications on the anatomy of the Asian eyelid. He offers all available techniques for double eyelid fold formation. There are three main variations of the procedure:
- DST – double-stranded twist
- suture quick eyelid surgery
- incisional technique
The procedure is performed in the office setting or if the patient is extremely anxious at the ambulatory surgery center. Recovery depends on the technique used and the patient’s individual healing ability and ranges between two to seven days.
Each eyelid surgery is personalized to the individual. Our eyelid specialist in Boston, Dr. Glavas, considers factors such as:
- Eyelid thickness – Thicker eyelids may require the incisional method to achieve the desired crease.
- Desired crease height – The height of the crease can be adjusted to achieve a natural look that complements your facial proportions.
- Asymmetry – Any pre-existing asymmetry between the eyes can be addressed to create a balanced appearance.
Benefits of Asian Double Eyelid Surgery
Enhanced eye definition
The procedure creates a well-defined eyelid crease, giving the eyes a more open and expressive look. This enhances the overall appearance, making the eyes appear larger and more alert.
Balanced facial features
By adding a crease, the surgery can harmonize with your facial features, creating a more symmetrical and balanced appearance. This subtle change can significantly improve the natural beauty of your face.
Improved makeup application
A well-defined eyelid crease makes applying eye makeup easier, allowing for a wider variety of styles and techniques. Eye shadows, liners, and other cosmetics can be applied more effectively, changing the overall aesthetic.
Personalized results
The surgery is developed to meet the individual’s specific needs and preferences. Dr. Glavas considers each patient’s unique facial structure, skin type, and desired outcomes, providing natural-looking and satisfying results.
Long-lasting results
Unlike some non-surgical methods, the results of an Asian double eyelid surgery are durable, providing long-term enhancement without the need for frequent touch-ups.
