What is Asian blepharoplasty?
Asian blepharoplasty, also called double eyelid surgery, creates or refines an upper-eyelid crease. A consultation considers your existing crease, eyelid skin, symmetry and personal goals. A monolid is a normal anatomical variation; surgery is an individual choice.
The aim is an eyelid crease that suits your features and preferences. Crease surgery is different from treating lower-eyelid bags or a drooping eyelid caused by muscle function (ptosis). An examination helps identify which concern is present. See our upper and lower blepharoplasty page for other eyelid procedures.

Who may be a candidate?
A consultation may be appropriate if you want to create or refine an upper-eyelid crease and have realistic expectations about symmetry, scars and recovery. Your surgeon assesses eyelid anatomy and eye health before recommending treatment.
Tell the surgeon about dry eyes, changes in vision, difficulty closing your eyes, previous surgery and any medicines you take. Eyelashes rubbing the eye, visual obstruction or suspected ptosis need assessment; crease surgery alone may not address them.
How is double eyelid surgery planned?
Your surgeon discusses crease position and shape, the amount of skin and tissue present, and whether an incisional or suture-based approach is suitable. The available options depend on the examination; a particular technique is not appropriate for everyone.
An incisional approach involves an upper-eyelid incision planned near the intended crease. Scars may become less noticeable with healing, but surgery cannot guarantee an invisible scar or identical eyelids. Ask about the recommended technique, anaesthesia, expected duration and possibility of revision.
Lower-eyelid bags require a separate assessment and treatment plan. Read about lower blepharoplasty approaches if this is your main concern.
Recovery after Asian blepharoplasty
Swelling, bruising, irritation and dry eyes may occur during early healing. Recovery varies with the procedure and your health. Your team will give you instructions for incision care, prescribed medicines, follow-up and any stitch removal.
Plan time away from work and ask when you can resume exercise, contact lenses and makeup. Do not drive until your vision is clear, you are no longer affected by sedating medicines and your surgeon says it is appropriate. Early improvement is different from complete healing; swelling and scars can continue to change.
Follow your surgeon’s advice about cold compresses, activity and sun protection. Read our eyelid surgery recovery guide. Sudden vision changes, severe eye pain or rapidly increasing swelling require urgent medical assessment.
Risks and possible complications
Risks include bleeding, infection, unfavourable scarring, asymmetry, dry eyes, difficulty closing the eyes, persistent discomfort and the need for further surgery. Vision changes can be temporary or permanent; loss of vision is very rare. Your surgeon will explain your individual risks and the limits of the proposed procedure.
Frequently asked questions
Does double eyelid surgery treat under-eye bags?
Upper-eyelid crease surgery and lower-eyelid bag treatment address different areas. Ask about lower blepharoplasty if bags are your main concern.
Can I choose the crease shape?
Bring examples of your preferences to the consultation. The surgeon will explain what is feasible for your anatomy and discuss limitations; a photograph cannot guarantee an identical result.
Will I have a scar?
Incisional surgery leaves a scar. Its position and visibility depend on the technique and healing. A suture-based option also has limitations and is not suitable for every eyelid.
