In some individuals, particularly from East Asia, the upper eyelid is flat and lacks a crease. This gives an unnatural ‘mannequin’ look. In these individuals, a crease can be created via surgery, and this technique is called Asian blepharoplasty or double eyelid surgery.

In other races, the muscle of the upper eyelid (orbicularis oculi) inserts into the skin. So when the eye opens, it pulls the skin and creates the crease. In Asians, this muscle insertion is absent, so there is no crease.
- An incision is made in the upper eyelid.
- Excess fat, if present is removed
- The muscle is identified
- Stitches are taken between the muscle and the skin, thereby creating a crease
- The skin is then closed
What happens after Asian blepharoplasty surgery?
- There is swelling which is present for a few days
- The eyelid can feel tight for a few days
- Sutures are removed after 1 week
- The crease gradually heals and becomes natural in 4 weeks
