Define, Brighten, and Balance—Naturally

Double eyelid surgery (Asian blepharoplasty) creates a stable, natural-looking crease to open the eyes, improve symmetry, and enhance makeup space. At UE Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, a female board-certified facial surgeon designs crease height and shape to match your anatomy and aesthetic—never over-arched or “Westernized.”

Who’s a Good Candidate

• Hidden or low crease with heavy upper lids
• Asymmetric or unstable folds from tape/threads
• Desire for subtle, natural definition (not dramatic change)
• Healthy eyes and realistic expectations

Techniques We Offer (Customized)

• Incisional Double Eyelid: most stable for thicker skin or excess tissue; allows precise fat/skin redraping.
• Non-Incisional (Suture) Double Eyelid: minimal downtime for suitable, thinner lids with good elasticity.
• Hybrid approaches when structure needs light refinement without full excision.
• Epicanthoplasty (optional): gentle inner-corner refinement if crowding limits crease design.
• Ptosis Repair (as needed): corrects true droopy muscle for brighter, symmetric opening.

Design Principles for Natural Asian Lids

• Crease height matched to brow–lid distance and skin thickness
• Crease shape (in, out, or in-out line) tailored to preference and anatomy
• Volume conservation (fat/orbicularis) to avoid hollowness
• Ethnicity-aware inner corner angles to prevent over-opening

What to Expect

• Consult & Marking: MRD1/levator function, symmetry planning, photo map
• Anesthesia: local with sedation (or general, case-by-case)
• Time: ~30–90 minutes depending on method
• Downtime: swelling/bruise 3–7 days; suture removal 5–7 days (incisional)

Results & Longevity

• Brighter, defined crease that looks natural at rest and in motion
• Easier, cleaner makeup application
• Long-lasting results; aging continues naturally (incisional most durable)

Aftercare

• Cold compress first 48 hours; sleep elevated 1 week
• Lubricating drops/ointment as prescribed
• Avoid heavy exercise, sauna, and contact lenses ~2 weeks
• Begin SPF 50+ and silicone/scar care after suture removal if advised

Combination Options

• Ptosis correction for weak levator (true droopy lid)
• Brow-tail lift (thread/endoscopic) for lateral hooding
• Lower blepharoplasty/tear-trough polish for full eye harmony
• Laser toning/LDM later for redness/texture finesse

Safety & Suitability

• Screening for dry eye and lagophthalmos risk
• Fitzpatrick-aware scar strategy to minimize PIH
• Performed by a board-certified facial surgeon using meticulous hemostasis and conservative tissue handling

FAQs

Will the crease look too high?
We match height to your anatomy for subtle definition, not an exaggerated arch.

Can sutures alone hold my crease?
Yes for suitable lids; thicker or lax skin often benefits from the incisional method.

Does surgery fix asymmetry?
We address height and shape during design; mild differences can remain natural.
