What Is An Asian Eyelid Lift or Double Eyelid Surgery?

An Asian eyelid lift in Bellevue & Kirkland creates a more prominent double eyelid and crease for those with heavily hooded eyelids. Many Asian ethnicities have the trait of only one eyelid fold, which can create challenges when wearing makeup and hinder the appearance of symmetrical, bright eyes. It’s common for Asian ethnicities to have heavy and thick upper eyelids, which can cause the eyes to appear smaller and hide the lashes. 

Many patients in Asian culture seek to undergo Asian blepharoplasty as they want to achieve bigger, brighter eyes that don’t encroach on their natural beauty. However, an essential part of undergoing a successful Asian eyelid lift is finding a surgeon who can preserve your stunning, unique beauty while providing the benefit of a natural crease and lifted eyelid.

Understanding The Eyelid Shadow

To understand why a natural eyelid crease is essential in facial symmetry and beauty, we must first examine how the eyes and eyelids affect our appearance. According to Dr. Young’s highly esteemed New Theory on Beauty, the iris is the first area of the face the human eye notices. Because the circle of the iris is pleasing to the eye, this amount of space and shape can be found in other areas of people who are considered attractive. 

A natural eyelid crease provides a shadow above the eye and should be the same length as the iris. When the eyelid shadow in the crease is the same size as the iris, the eyes look bright, large, and symmetrical, as the eyelid shadow mimics the stark contrast of the iris. Dr. Young uses this theory to create harmonizing eyelid shadows for Asian ethnicities.

Benefits of Asian Eyelid Surgery, Kirkland

An Asian eyelid lift is not designed to take away from the patient’s natural beauty—instead, Dr. Young uses the patient’s stunning features to provide natural, brighter eyes without taking away from their features. Some benefits of Asian eyelid surgery include:

  • A more open and more prominent eye appearance
  • Added eyelid definition and crease
  • More prominent lashes
  • Added eyelid shadow for beautiful symmetry
  • Can improve the field of vision
  • Opens the eyes to a youthful appearance
  • Easier to apply makeup
  • Performed by the top Asian blepharoplasty surgeon

Asian Blepharoplasty Techniques

Dr. Young uses advanced techniques to perform the delicate Asian blepharoplasty surgery. This method allows for a more streamlined process that promotes better healing and a quicker recovery. There are a few options for an Asian eyelid lift Kirkland, depending on your unique facial structure and goals.

The first method Dr. Young can use is known as Orbicularis Levator Fixation. This approach creates a distinct eyelid crease and double eyelid that lasts for years. It’s a highly advanced procedure that requires years of training and experience due to the delicate and precise nature of the surgery. Dr. Young is a trained facial cosmetic surgeon with decades of experience in orbicularis levator fixation. 

For this method, Dr. Young uses a suture that attaches to the eye muscle and controls how the eye opens and closes, known as the levator. The levator is also responsible for where the eyelid sits and how open it appears. By using a suture to attach this muscle to the upper eyelid, Dr. Young creates an enhanced eyelid definition and widens the eyes upward.  

The second method Dr. Young can use during a Kirkland Asian blepharoplasty is medial epicanthoplasty. A medial epicanthoplasty uses an incision to create an incision in the patient’s natural epicanthal fold to make a crease and shadow that widens the eyes and brings a beautiful shadow crease to the eye. Through this technique, Dr. Young can create multiple creases that are relaxed and perfectly symmetrical. 

There are many areas that Dr. Young can use to create the perfect eye shape and height for your unique facial structure. Depending on your goals and challenges, he can create the incision in various locations, lifting the eye at different points. Making an incision near or under the epicanthal fold reduces the risk of scarring and drastically changes the eyelid crease. 

Asian Double Eyelid Surgery Process

The process for your Kirkland & Bellevue Asian double eyelid surgery will begin with an in-depth consultation with Dr. Young. During this consultation, he can help find the correct procedure for you and create your ideal plan to achieve your goals.

Depending on the method that Dr. Young believes is best, your procedure may take an hour or longer. Some eyelids require more extensive methods, but the surgery is usually quick. During your surgery, Dr. Young can add various creases to create big, beautiful eyes.

Recovery

The recovery process for an Asian eyelid lift depends on the type of method you underwent. However, Dr. Young can provide specific recovery instructions during a consultation. The worst redness and swelling will occur during the first few days but should gradually subside. Some recovery tips include:

  • Plan for time to rest after your procedure
  • Take any medication prescribed by Dr. Young
  • Rest and drink plenty of water
  • Take slow, gentle walks to promote blood flow
  • Attend all follow-up appointments with Dr. Young to ensure you are healing correctly
