Most Asian patients have a “single eyelid,” resulting in a relatively narrow eye aperture. Asian Blepharoplasty creates a “double upper eyelid” with a well-defined crease, opening the eye’s aperture for a look of alertness and beauty. Dr. Kass understands the particular wants and needs of his Asian patients, including creating a natural-appearing eyelid crease that’s the right size, not too wide and not too narrow. For the lower lids, Dr. Kass achieves a pleasing reduction in bulging orbital fat and dark under-eye circles.

In the before photos, a young Asian woman is often shown wearing clear tape on her upper eyelids to give the appearance of eyelid creases. After Dr. Kass performs his innovative and painless Double Eyelid Surgery as an office procedure, she no longer needs to wear tape, with pleasing, natural, and symmetrical eyelid creases as the permanent result.

Comparing Asian eyelids to Caucasian eyelid anatomy makes clear that many people of Asian descent, whether Indian, Vietnamese, Korean, Chinese, or Japanese, have little to no crease above the eyes. The goal of this procedure is to create that crease. While Caucasian eyelid surgery is generally performed on patients in their 30s and 40s, Asian Blepharoplasty is often performed in younger patients, sometimes even teens who want to look more Western.

Why Choose Clearwater Cosmetic Eye Surgeon Dr. Lawrence Kass?

If you’re considering Double Eyelid Surgery or Asian Blepharoplasty, it’s essential to choose a surgeon familiar with Asian facial anatomy who has performed this procedure many times. This is critical because Asian Blepharoplasty isn’t like standard eyelid surgery.

Standard eyelid surgery is subtractive, removing only excess skin and fat. Asian Blepharoplasty is additive, creating an entirely new crease where none currently exists. Superior results require a surgeon intimately familiar with the anatomic differences between Caucasian and Asian eyelids.
