Why Choose Us?

There are two types of Asian Blepharoplaties.
The Aim of Asian Blepharoplasty
The primary goal of Asian blepharoplasty is to create an attractive and aesthetically pleasing upper lid crease (double eyelid).
In mature Asians, the aim is to give the upper eyelid a lift.
The eyelid can be lifted by removing the sagging skin at the level of the upper lid crease (upper blepharoplasty) or by lifting the skin from just below the eyebrow (sub-brow lift).
Alternately, two procedures can be combined at the same time, to produce the most natural double eyelids. This procedure is called “Combined upper blepharoplasty and sub-brow lift”. < read more about Dr Kim’s published paper on this topic>.

There are a number of complications that are generally associated with all surgeries, and some specific to upper blepharoplasty. Most complications are temporary and heal spontaneously.
Some of the things that could go wrong are:
- scarring is unavoidable (we place the scar in the crease to make it less perceptible)
- pain (usually paracetamol is sufficient),
- prolonged swelling lasting for months and in rare event upto a year,
- bleeding after discharge (need to return to the clinic to stop the bleed),
- assymetry (10% normal) requiring correction,
- abnormal scars (requiring scar injections and other corrections),
- blurred vision (usually few days due to swelling),
- dry eyes (need some lubricating eyedrops),
- over and under correction (careful planning to avoid this),
- not meeting patient’s expectations,
- infection (we routinely give antibiotics),
- allergic reaction,
- double eyelids gets undone,
- We are not aware of any cases of blindness and death from blepharoplasties performed under local anaesthesia as these complications are usually related to the general anaesthesia. Under general anaesthesia, these complications were reported.
Dr Peter Kim has published numerous papers on the topic of Asian Double Eyelid Surgery and blepharoplasty.

Abstract
Despite upper blepharoplasty being the most popular periorbital rejuvenation surgical procedure, in Asians with moderate to severe blepharochalasis, the occurrence of postoperative puffy supratarsal fold (double eyelid) and residual lateral hooding is not uncommon. A qualitative retrospective analysis of before and after photos of 268 cases of combined sub-brow lift and upper blepharoplasty was done. A substantial number of cases had satisfying supratarsal fold thickness and improvement in lateral hooding. A combined sub-brow lift and upper blepharoplasty is an effective method to reduce the supratarsal fold thickness and lateral hooding in Asians with moderate to severe blepharochalasis.
Durable Suture Technique: A Simple and Versatile Nonsurgical Technique to Create/Reshape Double Eyelid in Asians. The American Journal of Cosmetic Surgery. Jan 2023.
- Abstract
Nonincisional double-eyelid plasty, the Durable Suture Technique, is a popular nonsurgical procedure for creating double eyelids on monolids. We report cases where the Durable Suture Technique was successfully applied to other Asian cosmetic eyelid indications. A series of before-and-after photos of patients who underwent the Durable Suture Technique were shown to demonstrate that it is effective in reshaping and rejuvenating the double eyelids, as well as treating post-blepharoplasty complications. The rationale for applying the Durable Suture Technique in the above nonstandard indications was discussed. The Durable Suture Technique is a versatile, nonsurgical cosmetic eyelid enhancement procedure in Asians.
T epicanthoplasty: New Surgical Treatment of Asian Mongolian Fold. Journal of Cosmetic Surgery & Medicine. 2010; 5 (1):58-62.
- Abstract:
Epicanthal fold (Mongolian Fold) is a unique feature of the Asian eye. It is present in the majority of Asians and is frequently and culturally seen as being aesthetically displeasing. There are numerous epicanthoplasty techniques reported in the literature that have been shown to be effective. However, they are technically difficult, complex in design, and not simple to learn. T-epicanthoplasty is a surgical approach to correct Mongolian folds using transposition micro-flap surgery for the epicanthal fold. It is simple to learn and offers an effective solution to the treatment of this common Asian cosmetic concern.
