Asian eyelid surgery
We’ve said this before, but it’s worth repeating: Asian eyelid surgery is not about westernizing the eyes. In fact, there is no one standard approach to Asian eyelid surgeries such as blepharoplasty and double fold surgery, because there are no two people with identical sets of eyes. When we refer to “Asian eyelid surgery,” what we mean is that certain features more common in the shape and contours of Asian eyelids must be uniquely considered and comprehensively understood by an experienced oculofacial surgeon for optimal results.

All kinds of individuals seek cosmetic eyelid surgery in the form of blepharoplasty, lidlift, reconstructive surgery, double fold surgery, and other procedures designed to enhance the appearance and functionality of the human eyelid. Eyelid surgery is about improving your natural eyelid structure in a way that compliments your natural appearance. The end result is a bright appearance that seems fitting for you and does not look “surgical” or “westernized” at all.
Your specialized oculofacial surgeon’s attention to Asian eyelid surgery in fact means the opposite of westernization: your treatment should not be a cookie-cutter “one size fits all” approach, but rather one that takes your natural eyelid shape into account and seeks to enhance it rather than transform it. While Asian eyelid surgery does not aim to “westernize” one’s features, it calls for exacting and meticulous attention to detail, as well as experience with proven results. A common error that Dr. Steinsapir is often consulted for to provide a correction is double folds that are made too high. In almost all cases this is caused by a surgeon who fundamentally does not understand the surgery. The surgeon may be inexperienced or simply lack the necessary grasp of what is required to make a natural double fold. Sometimes the inexperienced surgeon is simply following the wrong textbook and intentionally makes the crease incision too high as a result. Asian eyelid creases need to be place low in order to create an natural appearing double fold.
