FAQ About Asian Eyelid
Does Double Eyelid Surgery Make Monolid Eyes Larger?
Double Fold Surgery:
Skin Excision and Double Fold Creation:
- Removes excess upper eyelid skin.
- Converts monolid to double eyelid.
- Increases exposed and visible eye surface area.
Non-Incision Technique (Suture Method):
- Creates double-lidded eyes without skin excision.
- Less pronounced eye enlargement compared to skin excision method.
Can I wear contact lenses after double fold blepharoplasty?
Yes, but not immediately:
- Wait 3 weeks post-surgery before using contacts.
- Inserting contacts involves stretching the upper lid, which can affect the incision and results.
Is Asian eyelid surgery permanent?
Non-Incisional Technique (Suture Method):
- Fold may disappear over time, typically several years.
- Considered a non-permanent procedure.
Incisional Technique:
- Crease is permanent but will change with aging.
- Older patients may see lifelong results.
- Younger patients might need a touch-up after a few decades due to natural aging and loss of skin elasticity.
- Aging can create a heavier, hooded appearance, similar to non-Asians and Asians with natural double folds.
- Can be corrected with traditional blepharoplasty, removing excess skin without recreating the fold.
Will I still look like myself after Asian double eyelid surgery?
Personalized Results:
- The goal is for patients to still look like themselves.
- Surgery aims to change appearance subtly or noticeably based on patient preference.
- Consultation determines the best approach considering personal preferences and individual anatomy.
- Surgery addresses concerns while preserving unique facial features.
Will I have visible scars after Asian eyelid surgery?
Scar Placement:
- Scars are hidden in the natural fold of the eyelid.
- When eyes are open, the fold conceals the scars.
- Initially, scars may be light pink and visible when eyes are closed.
- Over time, scars typically become difficult to see, even when eyes are closed.
- Eyelid skin heals well due to its thinness, making scars less visible.
