What is Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)?
Eyelid Surgery, commonly known as Blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the eyelids and, in some cases, address functional issues like obstructed vision. Its target excess skin, fat, and muscle around the eyes, which can lead to a tired, aged, or even visually impaired appearance.
Upper Eyelid Surgery (Upper Blepharoplasty)
Upper eyelid surgery, or upper blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess skin, fat, and in some cases, muscle from the upper eyelids. For many Asian individuals, this surgery is commonly performed to create a natural-looking double eyelid crease.
Lower Eyelid Surgery (Lower Blepharoplasty)
Lower eyelid surgery is a procedure to address concerns below the eye, such as under-eye bags, puffiness, fine lines, and sagging skin, to remove the excess fat for skin tightening.
Ptosis Correction (Correction of Drooping Eyelids)
Ptosis is a medical condition characterized by the drooping of the upper eyelid, often due to weakened levator muscles. Ptosis correction surgery aims to lift the eyelid to its proper position, restoring full vision and improving aesthetic symmetry.
Sub-Brow Lift
Sub-brow lift is a technique where an incision is made below the eyebrow to remove excess skin and muscle, effectively lifting the outer portion of the upper eyelid and eyebrow.
High Fold Technique (Asian Blepharoplasty)
The High Fold technique, a form of Asian Blepharoplasty, aims to create a higher and more pronounced double eyelid crease. This method is customized to the unique anatomical features of Asian eyelids, and the removal of skin and fat improves eye size and shape to achieve a more dramatic and well-defined crease.
Epicanthoplasty
Epicanthoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to remove or modify the epicanthal fold, which is the skin fold covering the inner corner of the eye. This procedure can make the eyes appear larger and wider.

FAQ
How long does Blepharoplasty surgery take?
Typically 1 to 3 hours, depending on the complexity and whether upper, lower, or both eyelids are addressed.
Will I have visible scars?
Incisions are strategically placed in natural creases or inside the eyelid, making scars minimal and usually fading to be nearly invisible.
How long do the results last?
The results are generally long-lasting, often for many years.
What is the difference between ptosis correction and upper eyelid surgery?
Upper eyelid surgery primarily removes excess skin or fat for cosmetic improvement. Ptosis correction specifically targets the weakened levator muscle, causing the eyelid to droop and obstruct vision, a functional concern.
What is High Fold technique in Asian Blepharoplasty?
High Fold technique creates a higher and more pronounced double eyelid crease, tailored to the unique anatomy of Asian eyelids for a more dramatic effect.
What does Epicanthoplasty achieve?
Epicanthoplasty modifies or removes the epicanthal fold at the inner corner of the eye, making the eyes appear wider and larger.
