Asian double eyelid surgery in NYC<\/a> is one of the most common cosmetic procedures performed on patients of east Asian decent.\u00a0 This procedure is done to create an upper eyelid crease.\u00a0 Approximately 50% of east asians, are born without a supratarsal fold (aka double eyelid crease).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This procedure can be performed using several techniques.\u00a0 But the major differences in techniques is whether the surgeons approaches this surgery using an incision or a suture technique (non-incision) to create a double eyelid fold.<\/p>\n

Below, I have broken down some of the major differences between the two surgical approaches.<\/p>\n

Incisional technique<\/b><\/u><\/p>\n

Pros: more predictable long-term outcomes, more control to create precise placement of the desired fold, able to address other anatomic factors to the eyelid (such as addressing upper eyelid fat deposits, excess muscle, and redundant upper eyelid skin).<\/p>\n

Cons: increased healing time, increased potential for a conspicuous scar,\u00a0 and irreversible.<\/p>\n

Non-incision-suture technique
\n<\/b><\/u><\/p>\n

Pros: relative ease of performing the procedure, quick recovery time, reversible<\/p>\n

Cons: Unable to address other structures in the eye (redundant skin, fat, or muscle), increased potential for loss of crease over time, increased potential for asymmetry.<\/p>\n

In addition to performing both techniques, I also perform a limited incision technique.\u00a0 The approach I use depends on several factors, including your desired changes, your eyelid anatomy, and your lifestyle.<\/p>\n
