What is Asian Eyelid Surgery?
Cosmetic eyelid surgery is the most common elected procedure among people of Asian ethnicity in the United States and in Asia. Eyelid surgery performed by our board-certified facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Mark A. Petroff can thin a full eyelid, alter the shape or height of the upper or lower eyelids, decrease a pronounced epicanthal fold (the flap of tissue on the nasal side of the eyelid), or create a natural-looking crease. At Petroff Center Plastic Surgery / Premier Laser + Skin, we understand our patient's desires to naturally enhance their eyes without disregarding their ethnicity or heritage. Dr. Petroff will meet with each patient to discuss their goals and desired outcome for the surgery in order to produce the most subtle, ideal results. We invite everyone to contact our Lake Oswego, OR practice to learn more.
What Are the Benefits of Asian Eyelid Surgery?
Asian eyelid surgery, also known as double eyelid surgery or Asian blepharoplasty, offers several cosmetic and functional benefits for individuals looking to enhance their natural eye shape. This procedure can create a defined upper eyelid crease, resulting in a more open and youthful appearance while maintaining ethnic identity and features. It also helps improve symmetry between both eyes, reduces puffiness, and enhances the appearance of the eyelashes. Functionally, Asian eyelid surgery in Lake Oswego, OR can make it easier to apply makeup and may improve peripheral vision if drooping eyelid skin is causing an obstruction. Ultimately, the procedure is tailored to complement each patient’s unique facial structure and aesthetic goals.
Am I a Candidate for Asian Eyelid Surgery?
The best candidates for receiving an Asian eyelid surgery in Lake Oswego, OR:
- Are of Asian descent
- Have a desire to improve and enhance the shape and appearance of their eyes
- Desire natural results that still maintain their heritage
- Desire a long-term solution
How Is Asian Eyelid Surgery Performed?
The procedure itself varies depending on the techniques used, as well as the patient’s goals and eyelid anatomy. An incisional approach is usually taken for double eyelid surgery, in which the skin and sometimes muscle are trimmed and some fat may be removed. In some cases, particularly for lower eyelid surgery, a transconjunctival (minimally invasive) approach is possible. Dr. Petroff will discuss with each patient before their procedure to thoroughly understand their goals and unique eye structure.
Petroff Center Plastic Surgery and Medi-Spa Reviews
Always a positive experience at Dr. Petroff’s office.
The Petroff Center has an amazing staff. The procedures and products they provide are ‘state of the art’ and based on skin research. Melissa is knowledgeable, skilled and caring. She is a professional who shares skin care advice along with thorough post procedure teaching.
I would absolutely recommend the Petroff Center Plastic Surgery and Medi-Spa. Everything, from my consultation to the surgery and post appointments, was handled very professionally and efficiently. I felt like the staff truly cared and made my experience a good one.
I was nervous to go to surgery and to see the doctor at first but everyone was very kind and and made the process so easy and quick and very comfortable I was very much put at ease
After traveling overseas in a very dry climate, I was so happy to have my skin treated to a hydrafacial with Karli. I felt so rejuvenated and my skin was totally glowing from within. If you feel like your skin is a bit dull, I highly suggest this facial. All the gals at Petroff are superb. Go ahead and book it. I’m certain you’ll love it!

What Can I Expect During Asian Eyelid Surgery Recovery?
Minimal side effects such as itching, drying, bruising, swelling, and a sense of tightness in the eyelids are commonly observed following eyelid surgery. These symptoms are pretty normal and should subside within 1 - 2 weeks. Most patients resume routine activities in a matter of 5 - 7 days when non-absorbable stitches are removed, and they can return to work in about 10 days after a blepharoplasty. Contact lenses should not be worn for 2 weeks. Eyes can be sensitive to light and wind and may be slightly irritated for a short while. Your surgeon will prescribe eye drops and cool compresses to ease any discomfort. After 1 - 2 months, patients should see their true results: a more refreshed and cheerful look around the eyes and improved self-confidence, with little to no visible scars.
