Asian Eyelid Surgery Newport Beach

What is Asian Eyelid Surgery?

Asian Eyelid Surgery, sometimes referred to as Double Eyelid Surgery, is quickly becoming one of the most sought-after procedures within the Asian community. This blepharoplasty creates a pretarsal crease in the upper eyelid for patients born with monolids, a condition in which the skin of your upper eyelids covers the inner parts of the eyes. An ethnic blepharoplasty can be very effective to add a crease to the eyelid, thus producing a more awake, rejuvenated appearance using subtle enhancement techniques.

What to Expect on the Day of Asian Eyelid Surgery

Asian double eyelid surgery can be performed under general or local anesthesia with sedation depending on your preferences and other factors discussed with Dr. Sundine during the consultation.

Once sedated, your procedure will include removing excess fat, trimming any excess skin, and adjusting the underlying muscles to create the desired crease. Dr. Sundine will hide the incisions within the creases of your upper eyelid so that the final results look as natural as possible. Every surgery is performed with your unique traits and eye structure in mind, as well as what particular outcome you’re looking to achieve.

How Much Does Asian Eyelid Surgery Cost in Newport Beach?

The cost of Asian Eyelid Surgery in Newport Beach is dependent on several different factors as no two patients are the same, nor is the surgery. After you have a consultation with Dr. Sundine and he creates your surgical plan, our Patient Coordinator will give you a full breakdown of the costs.

Asian Eyelid Surgery Recovery

After surgery, you will be able to rest comfortably at home. Since you may still feel the effects of the anesthesia, you should arrange for a family member or friend to be able to give you a ride home and provide assistance during the first few hours of your recovery. You may experience some itching, dry eyes, bruising, swelling, and a sense of tightness in the eyelids, but these symptoms are completely normal and should subside within a few weeks. You should abstain from any strenuous activity for the first few days, but you should be able to resume your normal routine about five to seven days after any stitches are removed. Most patients feel comfortable enough to return to work about ten days after their operation.
You will need to avoid wearing contact lenses for about two weeks because your eyes may be sensitive to light and wind, in addition to being slightly irritated for a brief period. Dr. Sundine will prescribe you some eye drops to ease discomfort and prevent irritation, but you can also use cool compresses to alleviate any discomfort. After a few months, you should be able to notice a more refreshed and cheerful look around the eyes, hopefully providing you with improved self-confidence. Scarring should be very minimal, if noticeable at all. Many of our Asian Eyelid Surgery patients experience no visible scarring whatsoever.
