About Asian Eyelid Surgery Beverly Hills and Los Angeles

Estimates are that 50-75% of all Asians are born with a single eyelid; that is, they lack the crease in the upper eyelid that is common to most other ethnicities. And, in Asians who are born with this crease, it often differs in shape and size from that of other ethnic groups. The creation of a double upper eyelid, sometimes called Asian eye procedure, has been one of the most popular procedures among Asian women in both Asia and America. The addition of a crease to the eyelid can make the eye appear larger and the face more welcoming. This procedure can also make it easier to apply eye makeup. Most Asians who opt for blepharoplasty choose the procedure for these reasons, not in order to appear more "Western" or "American." Full blepharoplasty, which entails removing the excess fat and tissue surrounding both the upper and lower eye, is often performed to achieve a larger, more prominent eye opening.

Dr. Broujerdi will create a crease by using permanent non-reactive sutures and securing them to the firm cartilage of the upper eyelid known as the tarsal plate. He will then close the skin in a manor that will leave almost no visible scar and a natural appearing skin crease.

Procedure is usually preformed as an outpatient surgery in an accredited ambulatory surgical center or hospital. Dr. Broujerdi prefers seeing his patients the next day for follow up.
