I'm Asian But Do Not Want To Change My Eye Shape- Can Eyelids Surgery Help My Sagging Lids? (photo)
My upper eyelids have gotten very droopy, right eye is worse than left. They've always had 2 creases (not just 1, unusual for Asians!). My lower eye sockets look horrible from insomnia. I want to restore my eyes to youthful look WITHOUT changing the shape. I DON'T want to have Western eyes. I am 50 yrs. old, What can I do for my eye? Can someone please recommend an expert in Orange County, CA area? Many thanks.

Maintaining your upper eyelid fold is critical.

Hi JV179, the best place to start in your are would be with William Chen who has an office in Orange. These days very few Asians are asking for a look like that. I think Dr. Chen's experience will impress you. Rejuvenation of your eyes while maintaining the shape of your eyes is a very practical request.
