Asian Double Eyelid Surgery

Asian Eyelid Surgery
by dr. Grace Boaz, Sp.BP-RE
Creating natural and proportionate creases while fully preserving the unique character of the Asian eye.

Asian Double Eyelid Surgery — upper eyelid blepharoplasty — is a sophisticated procedure to create or define a permanent supratarsal crease in the Asian eye. At Ultimo Clinic, this specialization is led by dr. Grace Boaz, Sp.BP-RE, focusing on structural symmetry that opens the gaze without erasing your natural ethnic features.

Proportionate Harmony, Never Westernized

Many Asian eyelids naturally feature a "monolid" profile (no crease) or possess a low, inconsistent skin fold often paired with an epicanthal fold at the inner corner. Double eyelid surgery creates a stable structural crease so the eyes look more open, awake, and seamlessly accommodating to cosmetic styling.

Crucially, our anatomical goal is never to force a "Western" appearance. Every single crease height and curvature is custom-contoured by dr. Grace to respect the natural tissue dynamics and underlying facial architecture of the Asian face.

TWO TECHNIQUES

Two Core Surgical Approaches

Non-Incisional (Suture) Technique
The crease line is carefully anchored using microscopic internal sutures without requiring a full-length skin incision. This technique provides rapid healing with virtually no visible down-time, making it an excellent option for patients with thinner eyelid skin and minimal fat tissue.
Incisional Technique
The crease structure is defined through an ultra-fine incision line, allowing the precise removal of excess skin folds or heavy fat pads. This delivers a highly predictable, beautifully distinct, and permanent crease, especially for thicker or heavier eyelids.
RELATED PROCEDURES

Advanced Structural Specializations

Epicanthoplasty
A precise modification of the inner eyelid corner skin fold to extend the eye horizontal aperture, smoothing the entry point of the new double crease.
Ptosis Correction
If your upper eyelid droops due to levator muscle laxity, dr. Grace repairs the muscle internally during the procedure. This ensures the eye opens fully and cleanly, rather than just masking the droop with a superficial skin crease.
CANDIDATES

Ideal Candidacy

  • Natural monolid eyelids or lines that are inconsistent and uneven
  • Eyes that appear heavy, small, or constantly tired due to sagging skin
  • Excess tissue bulk or fat pockets draping over the eyelashes
  • Patients seeking a balanced, elegant crease rather than an over-dramatic change
AT A GLANCE

What to Expect

Technique
Non-Incisional (Suture) or Incisional approach, mapped precisely to your individual anatomy.
Anesthesia
Local Anesthesia, with optional light IV Sedation for complete patient comfort.
Recovery
Initial swelling and minor bruising resolve within 7–14 days. The defined crease fully matures over a few months.
Result
The incisional technique is long-lasting and permanent; suture paths can fade over time in select cases.
FREQUENTLY ASKED

Frequently Asked Questions

Will double eyelid surgery make my eyes look "Western"?

No. dr. Grace’s primary clinical objective is to maintain authentic facial balance. The procedure expands the look of your eyes while strictly following the ethnic proportions of the Asian face, preventing an artificial look.

This depends entirely on your tissue. If your eyelids are thin with no sagging skin, a suture lift delivers instant results with minimal downtime. If the skin is heavy or thick, an incisional path is required for a permanent result.

For the incisional technique, the fine incision line is aligned directly within the new crease. This ensures that any healing mark remains naturally concealed inside the skin fold whenever your eyes are open.
