Asian Eyelid Surgery
What are the Modifications Necessary for Asian Blepharoplasty?
The Asian eyelid is different from the Caucasian eyelid in many ways, which is why Asian eyelid surgery (Asian blepharoplasty) is so unique. One of the most frequent mistakes that plastic surgeons have made is "Americanizing" or "Europeanizing" the eyelids. This results in a very unnatural appearance.
Dr. Prasad uses his expertise in eyelid surgery to provide Asian patients with naturally appearing eyelids. Asian individuals also often seek the "double eyelid fold" procedure, which gives the upper eyelid a visible crease when the eye is open. This change to the upper eyelid makes it easier to apply makeup and is considered to be a desirable aesthetic appearance in many Asian cultures.
Asian eyes require delicate finesse with the typical epicanthal fold that lies in front of the eye so that proper rejuvenation does not mar the natural beauty of this type of eye. Dr. Prasad is well-versed in Asian eyelid surgery and has performed blepharoplasty for many of his Asian patients who have requested it.
This 27 year old Asian woman was concerned that her eyes looked tired and would use tape to create an artificial crease in her upper eyelids. After consultation with Dr. Prasad, she decided to choose a nasally tapered parallel upper eyelid crease. One week after surgery, after sutures have been removed, her eyes show a moderate amount of swelling and the creases look well defined.
This 34 year old man was born with slightly defined eyelid creases. His desire was to have symmetric appearing eyes with well defined creases. Dr. Prasad performed bilateral upper eyelid Asian blepharoplasty. One month later he has well defined upper eyelid creases, which look natural.
This 30 year old Asian female felt her eyes were too hooded for her to be able to apply makeup. She underwent Asian upper eyelid blepharoplasty under local anesthesia. One week later she has a small amount of swelling and well defined creases.
This 40 year old Asian business woman had always wanted to have more open eyes. As she got older her eyelid skin started to droop even further. Dr. Prasad performed bilateral upper eyelid Asian blepharoplasty under local anesthesia. Approximately one month later she has minimal swelling and well defined upper eyelid creases.
This 34 year old female wanted to have the ability to apply eyeshadow on her upper eyelids. Applying eyeshadow resulted in smearing and frustration. She underwent bilateral upper eyelid Asian blepharoplasty and two weeks later her eyelids are more well defined.
This 57 year old Korean man was concerned that his upper eyelids were starting to effect his ability to see.

He underwent bilateral upper eyelid Asian blepharoplasty and was very happy with the results.
