Overview

What is Asian eyelid surgery?

Asian eyelid surgery (Asian blepharoplasty) creates or refines an upper-eyelid crease in a way that respects Asian eyelid anatomy and identity. At Marble Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, Seoul, board-certified plastic surgeons specialize in natural-adhesion and incisional double eyelid techniques.

Asian eyelids differ in fat distribution, skin thickness, the epicanthal fold and where the lifting muscle attaches. The goal is not to westernize the eye but to form an in-fold, in-out or out-fold crease that harmonizes with your features. Korea is known for refined techniques in this procedure.

Candidates

Who is Asian eyelid surgery for?

Suitability is decided at a 1:1 consultation with your surgeon.

  • Monolids or partial, uneven creases
  • Puffy upper lids with excess fat
  • A strong epicanthal fold that hides the inner corner
  • Patients of East or Southeast Asian heritage seeking a natural crease
The procedure

How Asian eyelid surgery is performed at Marble

  1. Consultation and planning Your surgeon analyzes lid thickness, fat, fold type and eye-opening strength, and previews in-fold, in-out and out-fold crease shapes with you.
  2. Anesthesia and monitoring A board-certified anesthesiologist selects the anesthesia with your surgeon, administers it, and monitors you continuously throughout the procedure.
  3. Forming the crease The crease is created with the natural-adhesion method or an incision, with fat or skin removed only as needed, and epicanthoplasty or ptosis correction added when indicated.
  4. Recovery and discharge You rest in a private recovery room under monitoring. Before you leave, the team explains wound care, medication and your follow-up schedule.
Recovery

With the natural-adhesion method most patients recover in about a week. The crease looks higher at first and settles to its final position over several weeks.

  • Swelling injection and regenerative LED laser in the first week
  • Milia removal at checkups
  • 1-year revision guarantee
  • Unlimited surgeon-checked scar injections
  • Recovery kit to take home
