Asian Eyelid (Double Eyelid) Surgery
Before and After Photo Gallery

This patient underwent Asian eyelid surgery to remove excess skin in her upper lids. Lower lid blepharoplasty was also performed at the same time to rejuvenate her lower lids using Natural Looking Blepharoplasty™ technique.

This patient had significant upper lid skin and it was affecting her ability to see well. An Asian eyelid surgery was performed to remove excess skin in upper lids. She also underwent lower lid cosmetic surgery to improve her lower lid appearance using a Natural Looking Blepharoplasty™ technique.

This patient had excess skin and wished to have it addressed. Upper lid blepharoplasty surgery was performed while preserving her Asian eyelid appearance.

The patient had significant upper lid skin and wished to have it removed to help improve her vision and also to look more younger and awake. She had no visible upper lid creases (had a “single upper” lid) and wished to undergo “double eyelid” surgery.

This photo is taken one month after surgery. She desired a lid crease position around 6mm in both upper lids and you can notice that she is healing well. There is still some swelling in the upper lid which is common in Asian eyelid surgery for up to 2 months. Although the results are subtle, she now has a double eyelid and also sees better and appears more awake.

This patient has always had “full” upper lids such that he has always had a mild amount of skin nearly draping above his eyelashes. He wished to undergo a conservative procedure that would allow for him to see better while also allowing for him to look closer to what he looked like years prior. He had low set eyelid creases with a double lid and wished to keep them at that position after surgery. The photo on the right was taken 3 weeks after surgery and you can already see the improvement in his upper lids. You can also see the very little swelling that he has. Some patients swell more than others after surgery, but Dr. Zoumalan uses rapid-recovery techniques to allow for optimal healing after surgery.

Not all patients with Asian lids wish for a double eyelid during surgery. For instance, this particular patient was having difficulty seeing with the extra skin hanging over his eyelashes. He had no visible creases present on evaluation. The goal of this surgery was to carefully remove his excess skin but also to preserve his appearance of having no visible creases. By carefully removing his skin while respecting the natural appearance he wished to maintain, he was able to see and look better.
