Should I get double eyelid surgery or upper blepharoplasty?

Question

I am Asian and have some eyelids, not much but they are not monolids. If I want to push my hoods back, is the procedure still called double eyelid surgery or is it an upper blepharoplasty?

Donald B. Yoo, MD, FACS · Answer

Double eyelid surgery can also be called upper blepharoplasty. If you wish to have a crease that is higher and more symmetric, you can achieve this with upper blepharoplasty/double eyelid surgery. During the surgery a small amount of fat is removed, and your crease will be formed and set at a bit higher. If you want the best idea of what is possible for your eyes, do your due diligence, find an experienced surgeon, and have him/her evaluate you in person and discuss your options. #drdonyo
