"There's more to being an Asian eyelid specialist
than knowing how to make a crease."

Eyelid surgery is the most popular of all facial plastic surgery operations selected by patients of Asian descent in both the East and the West. However it is not, as many assume, merely a procedure to create or alter the upper eyelid crease.

On the contrary, the discipline encompasses a surprisingly long list of techniques applied to the eyelids and canthal regions, almost all with a common goal of making the eyes appear bigger, more open, more expressive, and sometimes more Western.

While the various anatomic layers that comprise the Asian eyelid are the same as those found in the non-Asian lid, their arrangement, connections, and thicknesses differ in many respects, some obvious but others subtle. These unique variations and distinctions make surgery on the Eastern lid so different from that on the Western lid that modern Asian double eyelid surgery bears only scant resemblance to European blepharoplasty.

Since Asian patients account for only about 5% of people undergoing cosmetic plastic surgery in the United States, most American surgeons have little experience working on the Asian eyelid. Many may offer a few simpler versions of available operations, but only a small group of true specialists possess the training, knowledge, and skills to provide the full range of surgical options.
