Asian Blepharoplasty

In Beverly Hills and serving the Los Angeles area

What is Asian Blepharoplasty?

An Asian Blepharoplasty eyelid surgery consists of surgically creating a crease in the eyelid in order to establish the double eyelid fold that is a sought after feature in Asian cultures. This a pretty simple procedure that consists of either suturing the eyelid or making a small incision in the natural crease to excise a small amount of fat and muscle to create this favorable characteristic. It can be done in office under local anesthetic as an outpatient procedure, or in combination with other surgeries under general anesthetic. Patient may return to work in 2 days time and can expect a full recovery in 2 weeks in order for swelling to subside.

The Roots of Asian Blepharoplasty

Asian Blepharoplasties have been performed in the Japanese culture as far back as 1896, when the first instance of eyelid surgery was documented by the Japanese surgeon Mikamo. This surgery involved suturing the eyelid to give it the double eyelid fold found favorable in many Asian cultures. Nevertheless, eyelid surgery has come a long way since it took its roots in the late 19th Century. Although many of the techniques that are used today were established through the years by various doctors, they have been perfected by modern medicine in order to give patients their desired outcome.
