There should be no functional loss after asian eyelid surgery. Techniques to create the eyelid fold are cosmetic procedures that should have no functional sequealae.

No loss of function to double eyelid surgery
There is no functional sequelae from receiving an Asian Blepharoplasty (double eyelid surgery). The mechanics of blinking should not be affected assuming the procedure is done properly and no too much skin is removed in the incisional technique or there is not too much tension with the non-incisional technique.

No loss of eyelid function after double eyelid surgery
When performed correctly, there is no loss of eyelid function after eyelid surgery. Movement is the same except with the double eyelid procedure, where more of a crease is formed rather than a single eyelid.

Eyelid surgery should not alter eyelid function
Eyelid surgery, especially when done for purely cosmetic purposes should not alter eyelid function. It is normal to have some temporary changes in the immediate post operative period. But they should all go away in time.

Asian eyelid procedure should not affect eyelid function

It is the attention to detail when creating the attachment that will ensure a proper height, symmetry, and shape of the crease.

If done correctly there should be no loss of function of your eye after Asian Double Eyelid Surgery
If done correctly there should be no loss of function of your eye after Asian Double Eyelid Surgery. There are very important functional things in your eye that are manipulated during the creation of the Asian double eyelid crease. It is quite a bit more complicated than when doing a blepharoplasty for other cosmetic reasons, such as for extra skin and tissue. Almost anything could happen if your surgeon is not careful from eyesight function to eyelid opening function. You...

Eyelid function should not change with Asian Eyelid Surgery
The eyelid has two main functions: 1) closure to protect the eye, 2) elevation out of the visual axis to allow sight. Properly performed double lid crease surgery or Asian eyelid surgery should not compromise these two functions.

Asian eyelid surgery and lid function.
The primary function of the eyelids is too protect the eyes. It provides mechanical protection as well as lubrication for the cornea. Any eyelids surgery must minimize any risk of interfering with the protective function of the eyelids.
The eyelids must fully close and continue to produce the mucous and oils necessary to protect the tear film and the cornea. It is common to have dry eyes, temporarily, for a short time after surgery, but once resolved, eyelid function should return to...
