What Is Asian Eyelid Surgery?

Asian eyelid surgery is a procedure that creates a fold in the upper eyelid or reduces excess tissue along the eyelid. Asian eyelid surgery is not intending to change the shape of the eyes, but rather to maintain cultural identity while meeting the aesthetic goals for patients who are experiencing impaired vision, or for patients who want to improve the definition of their eyes or to create more balance between the size of the eyes and the proportions of the face.

Benefits of Asian Eyelid Surgery

Asian eyelid surgery provides many benefits for patients who wish to achieve an improvement in the appearance of their eyelids. 

Benefits include: 

  • More open eyes that appear larger and refreshed
  • Reduced vision impairment if excess skin was interfering with vision
  • A more youthful appearance
  • Reduced sagging

Who is a Candidate?

Patients who are not happy with the appearance of their eyes may be candidates for this procedure. Dr. Lee will meet with you to examine your eyes and understand your aesthetic concerns, and determine if you are a candidate. Ideal candidates for Asian eyelid surgery in Beverly Hills typically meet the following requirements:

  • You are in good overall health
  • You have no serious medical conditions
  • You do not smoke
  • There is no infection or inflammation in or around your eyes
  • You have realistic expectations for what this procedure can achieve 

Your Customized Procedure

Your surgery will be customized according to your specific needs.

Most Asian eyelid surgery procedures are performed under local anesthesia and are completed in about one to two hours.

Incisions are made along the natural curve of the eyelid. Dr. Lee will use these incisions to sculpt the eyelids and create a natural eyelid crease. She can also address hooded eyelid skin, sagging and wrinkles. Once the surgery is complete, the incisions are carefully closed.

It is important to choose a highly-trained, board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Lee for your Asian eyelid surgery. This procedure is safe when performed by an experienced surgeon who understands how to ensure your eyes are safe during surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions About Asian Eyelid Surgery

Will there be visible scarring after Asian eyelid surgery?

Incisions are usually placed within the natural eyelid crease to help minimize visible scarring once healed.

Is Asian eyelid surgery permanent?

Results are long-lasting, though the natural aging process will continue over time.

When can I wear makeup again after surgery?

Most patients can resume eye makeup after healing progresses, typically within a couple of weeks, depending on recovery.

Can Asian eyelid surgery be combined with other facial procedures?

Yes. Some patients combine eyelid surgery with procedures such as brow lift or facial rejuvenation treatments.

Will my eyes still look natural after surgery?

When performed thoughtfully, the results should complement your facial features rather than appear overly dramatic or artificial.

How soon will I see my final results?

Initial swelling improves within the first few weeks, but final refinement can continue over several months.

Can older patients benefit from Asian eyelid surgery?

Yes. The procedure may help address age-related heaviness, sagging, or puffiness around the eyes while maintaining natural facial harmony.
