Natural Looking Asian Eyelid Surgery

Asians are known for their distinctive eyelids. Some of them do not have a defined crease in the upper eyelid, and so the lid does not double over itself. Because of this, some Asians opt to have double eyelid surgery to reshape the skin around the eyes.

In the case of the Asian patient, the surgeon will create what is known as a supratarsal crease in the upper eyelid. This gives patients a more open-eyed appearance, and is done in a manner that does not significantly change their ethnic appearance.
