What Is An Asian Eyelid Lift or Double Eyelid Surgery?
An Asian eyelid lift in Bellevue & Kirkland creates a more prominent double eyelid and crease for those with heavily hooded eyelids. Many Asian ethnicities have the trait of only one eyelid fold, which can create challenges when wearing makeup and hinder the appearance of symmetrical, bright eyes. It’s common for Asian ethnicities to have heavy and thick upper eyelids, which can cause the eyes to appear smaller and hide the lashes.
Many patients in Asian culture seek to undergo Asian blepharoplasty as they want to achieve bigger, brighter eyes that don’t encroach on their natural beauty. However, an essential part of undergoing a successful Asian eyelid lift is finding a surgeon who can preserve your stunning, unique beauty while providing the benefit of a natural crease and lifted eyelid.

Understanding The Eyelid Shadow
To understand why a natural eyelid crease is essential in facial symmetry and beauty, we must first examine how the eyes and eyelids affect our appearance. According to Dr. Young’s highly esteemed New Theory on Beauty, the iris is the first area of the face the human eye notices. Because the circle of the iris is pleasing to the eye, this amount of space and shape can be found in other areas of people who are considered attractive.
A natural eyelid crease provides a shadow above the eye and should be the same length as the iris. When the eyelid shadow in the crease is the same size as the iris, the eyes look bright, large, and symmetrical, as the eyelid shadow mimics the stark contrast of the iris. Dr. Young uses this theory to create harmonizing eyelid shadows for Asian ethnicities.

Asian Blepharoplasty Techniques
Dr. Young uses advanced techniques to perform the delicate Asian blepharoplasty surgery. This method allows for a more streamlined process that promotes better healing and a quicker recovery. There are a few options for an Asian eyelid lift Kirkland, depending on your unique facial structure and goals.
The first method Dr. Young can use is known as Orbicularis Levator Fixation. This approach creates a distinct eyelid crease and double eyelid that lasts for years. It’s a highly advanced procedure that requires years of training and experience due to the delicate and precise nature of the surgery. Dr. Young is a trained facial cosmetic surgeon with decades of experience in orbicularis levator fixation.
For this method, Dr. Young uses a suture that attaches to the eye muscle and controls how the eye opens and closes, known as the levator. The levator is also responsible for where the eyelid sits and how open it appears. By using a suture to attach this muscle to the upper eyelid, Dr. Young creates an enhanced eyelid definition and widens the eyes upward.
The second method Dr. Young can use during a Kirkland Asian blepharoplasty is medial epicanthoplasty. A medial epicanthoplasty uses an incision to create an incision in the patient’s natural epicanthal fold to make a crease and shadow that widens the eyes and brings a beautiful shadow crease to the eye. Through this technique, Dr. Young can create multiple creases that are relaxed and perfectly symmetrical.
There are many areas that Dr. Young can use to create the perfect eye shape and height for your unique facial structure. Depending on your goals and challenges, he can create the incision in various locations, lifting the eye at different points. Making an incision near or under the epicanthal fold reduces the risk of scarring and drastically changes the eyelid crease.
