Florida Asian Blepharoplasty Doctor Recommendations

Question

I have been researching this for awhile but can not find a surgeon that specializes in the Asian Blepharoplasty in Florida (most docs here specialize in eyelid surgery for the elderly).

	I am 24 years old with no crease in my eyelids (very 'Asian'). And want to find a doc who will make my eyes look perfect. Any Asians have this procedure done in Florida? If so, by who? Thanks.

I agree that blepharoplasty in the Asian patient is an art that requires experience, meticulous attention to detail and an appreciation for the patient's desired outcome. A knowledgeable and experienced facial plastic surgeon or oculoplastic surgeon who has a busy practice in blepharoplasty should be well-versed in Westernization blepharoplasty. Ask to see photographs of Asian patients who have undergone blepharoplasty.

Dear Lolas
Look into the work of Steve Fagien.  He practices in Boca Raton and has a solid reputation.  If this location is not practical, consider looking at the American Society for Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery website: ASOPRS.org.  This site maintains a directory of fellows.  Just be certain that the surgeon you identify does devote significant energy to performing anchor blepharoplasty in Asians.

Christopher L. Hess, MD · Answer

Although I don't practice in Florida it is essential that you find a plastic surgeon, or other surgeon that has a reputation for doing Asian eyes. Creating occidental eyes is no easy task and you need to do a lot of research first. Look at plasticsurgery.org for a board certified plastic surgeon that can help you.
