Asian Eyelid Surgery for Hooded Eyelids?
I am Asian. I have the fold except my eyes are hooded. What procedure should I be looking into? I would like to do some research before I consider it except I don't know where to begin my research.

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...

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...

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 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.

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.

Lid crease with hooding in Toronto
Without more information or photos, this is not a simple question to answer. Questions to ask are the following:
1) Do you like the eyelid crease position?
2) Do you like your eyebrow position?
3) How dramatic a result do you want?
Based on these questions you could opt for 1)simple blepharoplasty with removal of skin, 2) Asian blepharoplasty or double eyelid surgery to reposition your lid crease, 3) brow lift to change your eyebrow position.
Any combination of these...

Asian Eyelid Surgery for Hooded Eyelids?
The procedure you need to research is Asian eyelid surgery. A true specialist in Asian eyelid surgery would best offer you the proper procedure indicated for your eyelids. Most often, a blepharoplasty and/or brow lift would accomplish what you are asking. You may want to research Asian blepharoplasty as well.

Begin research on blepharoplasty then look at photos
When the eyelids become hooded they can certainly be addressed through a traditional blepharoplasty technique. Asian blepharoplasty is somewhat different than a traditional Caucasian blepharoplasty. Look for a facial plastic surgeon whose done thousands of eyelid surgeries and an extensive before and after photo gallery.

Asian upper blepharoplasty should leave some fold for a natural look
If you want to preserve your natural Asian look be sure to tell your surgeon that you want him/her to modify the procedure to leave a small amount of fold over the upper eyelid crease.
Too often plastic surgeons assume that Asian patients want a "round eyed look" to look more westernized. If you do want the Occidental 'round eyed look" that can be accomplished but be sure to discuss this with your surgeon.
Today, most Asian patients want a younger look, but want to preserve...

Depends on the look you want
First, if your looking to Westernize your eyes that means you'll have to have the epicanthal fold changed. This is done by several techniques but, I stress, must be done my someone who does it often! Next you'll need a lid crease. This isn't difficult to do. The fullness can often be dealt with by an internal brow pexy and a removal of some ROOF fat.
I stress that you see someone who works on Asian eyes often.

Eyelid hoods may require a brow or forehead lift as well
This is a difficult question to answer and depends enitirely on your goals and desired outcome.
When we refer to hooding, we usually describe the outer portions of the upper eyelid which may benefit from a brow or forehead lift. SO, it really is a function of what you seek to improve. Schedule a consultation to discsuss your options.

Eyelid surgery for Asian eyes
Without being more specific about your desires makes it tough to give you a great answer. Some patients complain that they do not have a well defined crease. There are many operations that can be performed to create a fold. Often in Asian eyes, there is excessive upper lateral fullness. This too can be treated.

Are you looking to westernize your eyelids
I have seen a number of Oriental patients for eyelid surgery and have taken a special interest in this area. We have a large oriental population in Houston. Some patients have what's called an Oriental eyelid ,meaning that they don't have the supratarsal fold that Westerners have. By that ,I mean that the eyelid does not have a crease about 1 cm above the lashes. Some of my Oriental patients want thiscrease to be surgically made.This is called westernizing the eyelid. Some Orientals...

Consult a specialist experienced with Asian-Blepharoplasty.
Your best source of knowledge would be with a certified oculoplastic surgeon with experience in Asian-Blepharoplasty. You should see many favorable photos of simillar eyelids before proceeding.
I hope this helps, and best regards.

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...
