Asian Eyelid Surgery at Light Plastic Surgery Clinic

Are you looking to enhance your eye shape while maintaining your natural beauty and ethnic identity? Asian eyelid surgery—also known as double eyelid surgery or Asian blepharoplasty—is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures in Korea. It’s designed to create or refine the upper eyelid crease, helping the eyes appear larger, more defined, and more expressive.

At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic in Seoul, we specialize in advanced eyelid techniques tailored specifically for Asian anatomy. Our approach focuses on natural enhancement—not transformation—ensuring your results are harmonious with your facial features.

Why Choose Asian Eyelid Surgery?

Many individuals of East Asian descent are born with a monolid (no visible eyelid crease) or an undefined fold. Asian eyelid surgery is designed to:

• Create a natural double eyelid fold
• Improve symmetry between the eyes
• Make the eyes appear larger and brighter
• Refine a puffy or heavy upper eyelid
• Enhance confidence with a more defined appearance

Whether your goal is a subtle crease or a more dramatic change, we work closely with each patient to achieve personalized, beautiful results.

Customized Techniques for Natural Results

At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic, we offer a variety of surgical techniques to accommodate different eyelid shapes, skin thicknesses, and aesthetic preferences.

Popular Techniques Include:

• Non-Incisional (Suture) Method: Ideal for younger patients with thin skin and no excess fat. A scar-free option using sutures to create a natural fold. Minimal downtime.
• Partial-Incisional Method: A hybrid approach that removes small amounts of fat and skin while maintaining short recovery time. Offers better durability than suture-only methods.
• Full-Incisional Method: Best for patients with thick skin, excess fat, or sagging eyelids. Allows for permanent crease formation and long-term stability.
• Combined Ptosis Correction: For individuals with drooping eyelids (ptosis), we can strengthen the eyelid muscle during surgery to open the eyes further.

We also offer epicanthoplasty (inner corner surgery) as an optional addition to enhance the horizontal width of the eyes and soften the inner fold.

Consultation and Planning

Your consultation begins with a detailed assessment of your eye anatomy, skin condition, and cosmetic goals.

We will:

• Examine eyelid height, fat distribution, and skin elasticity
• Discuss your desired crease style (parallel, tapered, or partial)
• Review similar case studies and surgical options
• Use imaging tools to visualize potential outcomes
• Provide honest advice on what approach suits you best

Our team ensures that every decision is made collaboratively and confidently.

The Procedure: What to Expect

Asian eyelid surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation. The procedure lasts 30 minutes to 1.5 hours depending on the method used.

Procedure Steps:

• Marking the Crease: Your desired crease height and style are drawn and confirmed with you preoperatively.
• Incision or Suture Placement: Depending on the method, the surgeon will either place permanent sutures (non-incisional) or make a fine incision to remove skin/fat and form the fold.
• Refinement and Closure: The crease is refined to ensure symmetry, and sutures are placed to support healing.

The surgery is performed on an outpatient basis, and you can return home the same day.

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery varies depending on the technique but is generally smooth and manageable.

• Swelling and mild bruising peak in the first 3–4 days
• Sutures (for incisional methods) are removed after 5–7 days
• Most patients return to work or school within 7–10 days
• Avoid heavy exercise and eye makeup for 2 weeks
• Final results become visible as swelling gradually subsides over 1–2 months

Our clinic provides detailed aftercare instructions and ongoing support throughout your recovery journey.
