Asian eyelid surgery, also known as Asian blepharoplasty or double eyelid surgery, is one of the most frequently requested procedures among patients seeking to enhance the appearance of their eyes while preserving their natural ethnic identity. Dr. Baotram Tran, double board-certified plastic surgeon, specializes in creating subtle, elegant results tailored to the unique anatomy of Asian eyelids.
Here are three key things to know if you’re thinking about undergoing this procedure.
1. The Technique Is Precise and Customized
Unlike traditional eyelid surgery, Asian blepharoplasty isn’t about removing large amounts of skin. Instead, it focuses on creating a natural-looking upper eyelid crease (the pretarsal crease) through carefully placed sutures that connect deeper eyelid structures to the skin. This meticulous technique allows Dr. Tran to design a crease that complements your features. In some cases, she may remove a small amount of fat depending on your individual anatomy, but the approach is always personalized.
2. The Results Look Natural and Maintain Ethnic Identity
A key point about Asian eyelid surgery is that it doesn’t “westernize” the eyes or change your ethnic identity. Instead, the procedure enhances the natural shape of the eye by forming a crease that is absent in many Asian eyelids. This creates a naturally defined appearance without dramatically changing your eye shape. The goal is balance, symmetry, and refinement—never altering what makes your eyes uniquely yours.
3. It Creates Long-Lasting Confidence
The double eyelid crease formed during Asian blepharoplasty appears naturally whenever the eyes are open, thanks to the way the sutures are anchored. This provides a refreshed look that feels effortless. For many patients, this means less reliance on makeup to create a crease and greater confidence in their natural appearance. The long-lasting results make this procedure a worthwhile investment in both beauty and self-assurance. Patients often say they feel more confident because their results resemble an improved version of themselves, not someone else.
