Asian Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)

Many Asian patients with a puffy upper eyelid and an absent crease are not happy with their appearance. More than half of all Asians are born with no fold in their upper eyelid that makes the eyes seem droopy and half closed. Some patients report difficulty applying make-up or vision problems because of the overhanging eyelid.

Improved Eye Appearance

Generally, patients do not want to change their ethnic appearance but alter the problem areas. Usually they desire to look more bright-eyed and want to remove the puffy, tired look associated with a fatty upper lid. We will talk to you and understand the degree to which you wish to preserve your ethnic appearance before designing your blepharoplasty surgery.

Asian blepharoplasty is also known as the "Asian double eyelid surgery" and has become one of the most popular aesthetic plastic surgeries among Asians seeking bigger eyes. By surgically creating additional folds in the eyelids, this surgery helps people to look brighter, more youthful, and more energetic. This surgery can be done on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids or both.

Georgia Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Kun Kim is experienced in Asian eyelid surgery and has performed blepharoplasty for thousands of Asian patients who were seeking an improved appearance in their eye region. He understands the anatomy of Korean, Chinese, Japanese, and other Asian eyes and how they differ from people of European, Asian Indian or African lineage, such as normal length, shape, and height.

The Blepharoplasty Procedure

At his Atlanta practice, Dr. Kim will carefully remove small amounts of excessive skin, tissue from under the skin and small amounts of fat from above or below the eyelid, depending on the your desired outcome. Recovery time is only a few days, with minimal bruising and swelling. Full recovery may take up to two weeks or longer, depending on the extent of the surgery.
