Classic and Asian blepharoplasty
Hello,
Roughly 50% of Asians are born with eyes that have "single eyelids" (as opposed to "double eyelids") in which case there is no crease that forms in the top lids when the eyes are open. Some of these patients also have extra skin and fat, which creates a hooded look. "Hooding" is sometimes used to describe an upper eyelid that is flat and slightly puffy.
I assume that you are refering to "hooded eyelids", and not to prominent folds that run into...

Asian Hooded Eyes - Surgery
The Asian double fold procedure is the most common aesthetic procedure performed on Asians. Some patients already have a crease but with extra skin and fat, this creates a hooded look. Other patients don't have this crease and need it to be created surgically, thus westernizing the eyelid. It is important to discuss with your facial plastic surgeon all concerns you may have as well as the type of eyelid you'd like to achieve. You may be a candidate for a classic...

Asian Double Eyelid In Hiding
I operate exclusively on the Asian eyelid and most of my patients come with your particular issue and not a true "single eyelid" or "absent eyelid" crease. The crease is usually there but it simply needs to be exposed. So here we go. Question is, do you want something small (less down time) or something bigger (more down time but more permanent).

Asian Double Fold Procedure
The Asian double fold procedure is the most common aesthetic procedure performed on Asians. During this procedure I remove any excess skin that is "hooding" over the lashes. Then we form a crease about 9 mm above the lash line or strengthen the crease that may already be present. The procedure takes about 45 minutes to perform. I do it under a local anesthetic in the office. And, it is literally painless.

You may need a brow lift, volumizing or an Asian Double Eyelid Blepharoplasty.
You may need a brow lift, volumizing or an Asian Double Eyelid Blepharoplasty. This would all depend on how you looked in person or in a photograph. Your eyebrows should form an arch that is higher at the arch than either the lateral or medial end of the eyebrow. Also, the lateral eyebrow should be slightly higher than the medial eyebrow. The distance from eyelashes to the bottom of your eyebrow should be one iris width until you reach the arch where the distance from the lashes to the...

Do your research
Asian eyelid surgery is probably the most frequent cosmetic operation performed in Asia. There are innumerable operations which have been designed and proposed to correct this deformity (which should be considered a deformity only based on desire). The procedures vary from one suture simple techniques performed under local anesthesia to more complicated ones performed with the patient asleep. The qualifications of individuals performing these different procedures vary as do the price and the...

Hooded eyelids on Asians
What surgery you will benefit the most depends on your age, forehead findings including the position of the eyebrows, the amount of excess skin, muscle and fat, and your current crease height as well as your desired height and shape of the crease.
Depending on these findings, you may need browlift(forehead lift), upper eyelid surgery or both.

Hooded Asian eyelids can be due to aging or simply an absence of a crease
Asians who either lack a crease or have a small crease will have hooding, or excess upper lid skin which obscures vision, at an earlier point than someone with a larger crease. Upper eyelid surgery will require both placement of a crease combined with removal of excess skin and or fat. The brow will frequently descend as the forehead muscle relaxes once the upper visual field becomes unobstructed.
I would recommend someone who performs asian eyelid surgery on a regular basis...

Asian Eye Hooding
Sounds like a double eyelid surgery is not required since you have a crease, so removing the excess upper skin/hood is all that is needed. This is a straight forward, reliable procedure referred to as upper Blepharoplasty Eyelid surgery.

Asian eyelid surgery a good option
If you are Asian and have a double eyelid but still have hooding of your upper eyelids, you probably have excess skin and fat in your upper eyelids. Asian eyelid surgery will remove the excess skin and fat that is causing the hooding. Therefore, I think that you would benefit from Asian eyelid surgery.
