What Is Asian Blepharoplasty?

Asian blepharoplasty, also known as double eyelid surgery, is a specialized cosmetic procedure designed to create a defined crease in the upper eyelid. This surgery is one of the most popular aesthetic procedures in East Asia and among individuals of Asian descent worldwide. The goal is to enhance the natural appearance of the eyes while preserving the unique characteristics of Asian facial features.

Dr. Robert Schwarcz, with offices on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in NYC and Rye, NY, specializes in blepharoplasty, including Asian blepharoplasty, offering personalized, natural-looking results tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy and aesthetic goals.

What Makes Asian Blepharoplasty Unique?

Unlike traditional blepharoplasty, which often focuses on removing excess skin and fat associated with aging, Asian blepharoplasty aims to create or enhance a double eyelid crease in individuals who naturally lack one.

Key differences include:

• Preservation of Ethnic Features: The procedure emphasizes creating a natural crease while maintaining the patient’s ethnic identity.

• Customization: The height, shape, and symmetry of the eyelid crease are tailored to each patient’s preferences and facial anatomy.

Who Is a Candidate for Asian Blepharoplasty?

You may be a good candidate if you:

• Desire a well-defined upper eyelid crease.

• Have asymmetrical or uneven eyelid creases.

• Want to enhance the appearance of your eyes while maintaining a natural look.

• Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations.

Techniques Used in Asian Blepharoplasty

Asian blepharoplasty can be performed using various techniques, depending on the patient’s anatomy and goals:

Incisional Method

• Involves making a small incision along the desired crease.

• Allows for the removal of excess fat, skin, or muscle if necessary.

• Provides permanent and precise results.

Non-Incisional (Suture) Method

• Uses sutures to create a crease without making an incision.

• Ideal for patients with minimal excess skin or fat.

• Less invasive with shorter recovery time, but results may not be as long-lasting.

Combination Approach

• Combines elements of both techniques for patients with unique anatomical considerations.

Benefits of Asian Blepharoplasty

• Enhanced Eye Appearance: Creates larger, brighter-looking eyes while maintaining natural harmony.

• Customization: Tailored to your preferences for crease height, shape, and symmetry.

• Improved Symmetry: Addresses uneven or asymmetrical eyelids.

• Boosted Confidence: Enhances your natural beauty, often leading to improved self-esteem.

Recovery and Results

Recovery times vary based on the technique used:

• Non-Incisional Method: Swelling typically resolves within 1–2 weeks, with minimal downtime.

• Incisional Method: Swelling and bruising subside within 2–4 weeks, with full results visible after several months.
