Ethnic surgery is one of Dr. Edmund Kwan's specialties. During his 15 years of experience, Dr. Kwan has helped many patients achieve a more attractive look without having to compromise on ethnic features. One popular ethnic surgery procedure performed by Dr. Kwan is Asian eyelid surgery New York City. Asian individuals often have bulky, fatty eyelids, which can result in the skin around the upper eyelid to hang over. Asian patients can open up the eyes with a procedure called Asian eyelid surgery, which can rid patients of the appearance of “sleep eyes.” Patients look more well-rested and alert.

Asians also suffer from a large fold in the inner segment of the eye. A large fold can make the eyes look far apart or provides a “cross-eyed” appearance. With Asian eyelid surgery New York City, the inner corner of the eye can be opened up. Removing a wedge of skin from the inner area of the eyelid can help bring back life to the eyes.
