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 surgeons, 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
I had the most wonderful experience with Dr. Petroff and everyone I met at the Petroff center! I had wanted a rhinoplasty for years and Dr. Petroff explained the whole process to me and listened to what I was hoping to get out of it. I felt completely informed and supported the entire time. Pre and post surgery I felt safe and taken care of. They also checked up on me constantly after surgery and made sure I was doing well. I am so happy with how my nose turned out and forever thankful to Dr. Petroff and his team!
I have received care from Dr. Petroff at the Petroff Center (facial surgery) and Melissa at Premier (laser skin treatments at the medi-spa side of the center). My experiences exceeded all expectations, and as someone who has seen many healthcare providers, the attention to detail and level of care provided at the Petroff Center is unmatched. The entire team is friendly, kind, knowledgeable, and supportive, and so quick to respond to questions. Dr. Petroff was thoughtful and open during our initial meeting and consultation, and helped me understand what realistic expectations could look like. He is highly skilled, and the results of my surgery were above and beyond what I expected. For me, the care I’ve received at the Petroff Center/Premier has been life-changing, and while I always hope that internal beauty and character trumps the importance of physical appearance, most of us do care deeply about how we look. Dr. Petroff and his team were able to make incredible changes to my two primary sources of insecurity (a core facial feature and skin-related challenges) and they are now two of my favorite things about my appearance. This has exponentially increased my quality of life. The Petroff Center is truly a world-class practice, with an incredible and skilled team of professionals, beautiful and impeccably maintained offices and facilities, and the best care and service. They think of every detail and make themselves fully available for questions and concerns. I would recommend the Petroff Center to anyone seeking support of the types they offer. They’re wonderful!
Always a welcome place and the best. Love coming to the Petroff center Yes, always welcome
My first encounter with Petroff Center was in 2011. As Mother of the Bride I wanted to look my best. Fast forward to 2024, I desired to have my face and neck improved for a more youthful appearance. Dr Petroff and staff provide a “First Class Experience.” I am a OR RN of 20 + years and most important to me was having the best surgeon and staff in an accredited surgery center. Dr Petroff is a gifted and talented world class surgeon. Patients are fortunate to have him practice here in the Pacific NW. Dr Petroff is humble in manner and good listener to his patients and their expectations. Staff from anesthesia, nurses and office are outstanding and the entire experience is well orchestrated and executed. For the best experience in achieving your desired expectations,I highly recommend Petroff Center!
Laser hair removal- My experience with Kasey was great. She is so nice and professional. It is a very clean and friendly environment. I have tried laser hair removal at a different esthetics spa and after 1 treatment at Petroff it was already so much more effective than the other spa. Highly recommend laser hair removal at Petroff with Kasey!

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.
