Every ethnicity has specific characteristics in the facial elements. For Asian patients, many individuals do not have a natural fold in the upper eyelid or a “double eyelid.” To enhance one’s facial appearance, Asian individuals may choose to undergo plastic surgery to create this fold. Asian eyelid surgery is just one of many procedures performed for Asian patients at the practice of Dr. Edmund Kwan. However, patients may have several questions about this treatment, such as the cost and what to expect from their surgery. If you are searching for a provider “near me” that offers Asian eyelid surgery, contact Dr. Edmund Kwan today for your consultation.
What is Asian eyelid surgery?
During Asian eyelid surgery, the upper lid incision is made to obtain the desired double fold while maintaining a patient’s natural ethnic identity. The procedure, known as blepharoplasty, is performed right in the office while removing skin, and fat. The muscles are anchored to the skin to create the desired crease before the area is sutured and the procedure is completed.
What is the cost of Asian eyelid surgery?
Patients of the NYC area who are considering Asian eyelid surgery are encouraged to ask their doctor about the expected costs. This procedure is considered an elective or “cosmetic” surgery and is not covered by health insurance plans. However, financing options are available with our team. After discussing the process of achieving the results patients desire, the doctor can then discuss the cost quote with the patient.
