Beautiful Eyes for You

Double eyelid surgery, or Asian blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that creates a defined crease in the upper eyelid. This surgery is popular among individuals of Asian descent who desire a more pronounced eyelid fold for a wider, more expressive look. This procedure can help address concerns such as the following:

  • “Monolid” appearance: Transform a single into a double eyelid for a more refined and open look.
  • Fat deposits: Reduce excess fat that can create a puffy appearance in the eyelids.
  • Aging: Rejuvenate the eyes by addressing sagging skin.
