About Cosmetic Asian Eyelid Surgery
The most commonly performed Asian eyelid plastic surgery is double eyelid surgery. The procedure is designed to create or enhance the upper eyelid crease, the natural fold above the upper eyelashes. There is great variability in the eyelid crease and the primary goal of double eyelid surgery is to create a new crease or enhance a poorly defined or asymmetric crease. Skin and fat removal are minimal, and, in many cases, no fat is removed at all.
Other cosmetic eyelid surgery procedures are available to enhance ones appearance depending on the desired result. An in-depth consultation with Dr. Lissauer will help to determine what cosmetic improvements are recommended.
How is cosmetic Asian eyelid surgery performed?
Dr. Lissauer performs cosmetic Asian eyelid surgery as an outpatient procedure at The Manhattan Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital in New York, with local sedation administered by an anesthesiologist. The patient is awake but relaxed and the procedure is painless. Generally the procedure is about one to two hours depending on if other procedures are performed simultaneously.
