Eyelid Surgery
Double Eyelid Surgery
Surgical Artistry
OVERVIEW
Double eyelid surgery (Asian blepharoplasty) creates a defined supratarsal crease in the upper eyelid for patients who have a single eyelid or indistinct crease. This procedure enhances the eye shape, makes the eyes appear larger and more defined, and can be tailored to preserve natural ethnic characteristics. Dr. Gordon takes a culturally sensitive approach, respecting each patient's aesthetic goals.
BENEFITS

Makes the eyes appear more open and defined
Highly customizable crease height and shape

AM I A CANDIDATE?
- Candidates are adults — most often of East or Southeast Asian descent — who wish to create or define an upper eyelid crease. Both suture and incision techniques are available, and the choice depends on eyelid anatomy, desired crease height, and whether excess fat or skin removal is also needed. A detailed consultation ensures the approach matches individual goals.
THE PROCEDURE
The suture technique involves placing small sutures that connect the skin to the underlying tarsal plate to create a crease, with minimal incisions and faster recovery. The full-incision method removes a precise amount of skin and fat before establishing the crease and offers more permanent and controllable results. Dr. Gordon determines the optimal technique based on the patient's anatomy and goals.
