Asian Eyelid Surgery

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 “sleepy eyes.” Patients look more well-rested and alert.

Asians also suffer from a veil of skin in the inner segment of the eye. This 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 corner of the eyelid can help bring back life to the eyes.
