Hi, I recently visited one of the most popular plastic surgery centers in Los Angeles for my double eyelid surgery consultation. My consultant recommended to take incisional+opening up my slight epicanthal fold to make dramatic caucasian-looking double eyelid, which she said it's more popular...not considering which method/double eyelid line would fit me the best. I just wish for a micro double eyelid, which I thought it could be easily done with non-incisional process. What you do think?
Answer: Suture vs incision eyelid surgery You have a substantial amount of excess skin and most likely some component of muscle weakness (ptosis) that will need adjustment during surgery. Your inner corners would benefit from removal (inner epi). You would need an incision to correct most of these things. You would have a compromised result with a suture technique.

Answer: Do what is right for you I perfer to create double eyes lids that looks natural on an East Asian person. What is "popular" is not what is right for you or in fact for anybody. Looking at your photograph, it appears that you also a slight ptosis (weakness of the levator muscle) of both eyelids. This needs to be address for a natural result.A full incisional technique will be the best method to achieve the result you desire because it will allow the surgeon the control and precision that no other method can deliver.Reading between the lines, I assume that you are looking for a more natural result. If that is the case, I think that you don't necessary need the canthoplasty.Take your time and do your research. Best Wishes

Answer: Incision/Partial/Non-incision methods are not selected by the height of the crease you prefer Incision/Partial/Non-incision methods are not selected by the height of the crease you prefer. It has to do with multiple things like the puffiness of your eyelids, amount of excess skin, relationship with the epicanthus etc. So this consultation cannot be done without at least a simple photograph.

Answer: Asian double eye-lid surgery Thank you for your question.Both the suture technique and traditional incisional technique are good techniques for the right patient. Typically if you have too much loose skin or if your upper eyelids are too full or puffy, the suture technique would be less than ideal. You will end up with an internal crease that may not be visible or a very "narrow" double eyelid crease. The incisional technique will give you a better result that is more looks better, and is more predictable and precise.I would also be careful with surgery to the epicanthal fold. Many patients regret having done this because of the scarring. It is often times obvious and nothing more can be done to revise it to improve the scar.Although nothing beats an in person consultation, looking at your picture I think an incisional technique may be a better option for you. You have quite a bit of upper eyelid skin that hangs down to your lashes. It is hard to tell if you have any excess fat in your upper eyelids, but probably not. An incisional technique would also help make your epicanthal area look "wider" or more "open", without having epicanthal fold surgery.
