Asian Blepharoplasty: Double-eyelid operation
Laser and No-Cut Suture Technique

Asian patients have special concerns which may not be familiar to all plastic surgeons. Dr. Schiller has taught eye and eyelid surgery in China, Japan, Singapore, Thailand, and the Philippines, and worked together with some of the most prominent plastic surgeons in those countries.

Most patients are interested in the creation of an eyelid crease, called the double eyelid operation. In young patients, this can often be accomplished with NO incision or cutting. Sutures are passed inside the eyelid to create a new crease. The crease must be placed precisely and delicately. The result is usually permanent. Some patients require the removal of some extra skin or fat, and this is done with the CO2 laser. The laser surgery causes very little and often no bruising or black and blue, and so you can return to your work and everyday life within a few days or a week.

Lower eyelids can be a problem with age, and bulging of fat gives a tired or sad appearance. Most Asian patients do not need any skin removed from the lower eyelids, and so a laser approach through the inside of the eyelid is used (transconjunctival blepharoplasty). This often leaves no bruising or black and blue, and allows complete recovery in five days to a week. As the skin is not cut, there is no scarring.
