Asian eyelid surgery usually takes about 45 minutes to two hours to complete. This procedure is typically performed as an outpatient surgery using local anesthesia. In some cases, anxious patients can opt for intravenous sedation.to ease their concerns about undergoing the procedure.
After Asian eyelid surgery, patients may be advised to apply lubricating drops or ointment and use cold compresses to aid healing. Most patients return to work in a few days to a week but should avoid exercise and strenuous activities for at least two weeks. Stitches are usually removed after five to seven days. Most swelling and other side effects typically subside within two weeks, at which point patients can resume wearing contact lenses and makeup. It is recommended to decrease your screen time and wear dark sunglasses when outside for two weeks.
The surgery focuses on creating the ideal eye shape, determining the appropriate fold height, and correcting any associated ptosis.
Although there may be swelling and bruising around the eyes after surgery, these side effects will subside on their own, and the eyelids will improve in appearance for up to a year. The scars from Blepharoplasty and other Asian-eye procedures are well-concealed and usually fade with time until they are virtually undetectable. Although the eyelids are still subject to aging, Asian eyelid surgery produces beautifully natural and long-lasting results.

The cost of Asian eyelid surgery depends on the complexity, individual desire, and surgeon’s experience. After a one-on-one discussion about your desired results, Dr. Sung will provide an exact quote based on the specific techniques needed.
The techniques used in Asian blepharoplasty address the unique anatomy of Asian eyes and the specific results that best complement the facial features.
Asian eyelids typically have more fat in the upper and lower eyelid pads, thicker skin, and a less-defined eyelid crease. Furthermore, Asian skin is collagen-rich, which must be handled gently and meticulously to avoid significant scarring. This, paired with the overall variance in shape, means that the surgeon should have experience performing eyelid procedures specifically for Asian patients. They should also possess a deep understanding of how to make modifications that elevate your ethnically-rooted beauty. The goal is to enhance your Asian eyes, not to westernize their appearance.
Dr. Sung will give each patient a detailed preoperative plan of action so you can be fully prepared for the Asian eyelid surgery. This will include simple but effective ways to moisturize and protect your skin from UV rays and other stressors. You should also avoid taking certain medications and supplements in preparation for your eyelid surgery.
In the weeks leading up to surgery, it's recommended that you avoid smoking, stop taking supplements that might increase the risks of bleeding, maintain a healthy, consistent diet, and take precautions to prevent illness. These steps can help support a smoother recovery.
