Asian Eyelid Surgery: Q&A
Ask a Question
I Am Asian and I Have a Natural, Defined Eye Crease, But I Want my Crease to Be Even Higher?
Hi, Im a 20 year old Asian female. I was born with a natural and defined eye crease (rare but not impossible). However, I want my crease to be more defined because I noticed that above my crease I have some wrinkles and a very small amount of extra skin. I would like my crease to be deeper, a little bit higher, and the wrinkles diminished. Which procedure would be best suited for me? And what would be the associated risks? Thanks! Note: I never had any surgery prior to this considered procedure.

Remember that it is always possible to raise the eyelid fold but impossible to lower the eyelid fold. So the very basic question that must be answered in consultation is what you are showing in the photo actually what you want? ASOPRS eyelid surgeons are very good but this is not a guarantee that the...

Asian blepharoplasty
What you would benefit from is a blepharoplasty with skin excision and lid crease reformation sutures.
If you decide to explore this further, I would recommend consultation with an ASOPRS trained Oculoplastics surgeon. You can find one close to you on the ASOPRS dot org website
