Before and After Gallery: Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty

Asian female in her 30s after awake double eyelid revision and ptosis surgery. The ptosis procedure helped strengthen the weak eye elevating muscles which were causing the eyelids to droop, making the patient appear tired. Following the awake surgeries, the patient’s eyes appear more alert and refreshed.

Female patient in her 20s received awake ptosis and double eyelid revision surgeries. The ptosis procedure strengthened the weak eyelid muscles that were causing the eyelids to droop. The after photo shows more even and natural-looking double eyelid folds that further opened her eyes and made the irises more visible.

Asian female in her 20s with monolid eyes and ptosis (droopy eyelid) in her right eye wanted natural-looking double eyelid creases. She had Asian double eyelid surgery (Asian blepharoplasty) and unilateral ptosis correction to help achieve her desired results. Double eyelid surgery candidates who have eyelid ptosis should have ptosis repair surgery as well. Without ptosis correction, the double eyelid folds will appear uneven and can further exacerbate eyelid droopiness and hooding. Ptosis surgery will strengthen the weak eye elevating muscle so that the double eyelid folds will be balanced and the eyes appear bigger and clearer. The after photo shows improved eye symmetry, natural-looking double eyelid folds, and larger eyes where the iris is more visible. The procedures helped transform her eyes from tired to refreshed and appealing.

Asian female in her 40s with uneven eyes and eyelid hooding received unilateral ptosis correction, Asian double eyelid surgery, and a sub-brow lift. She had ptosis in her left eye with multiple eyelid folds and a hollow, sunken upper eyelid, while her right eye had lateral, outer eyelid hooding. The ptosis repair was performed on her left eye to strengthen the weak levator muscle which opened the eye and improved the hollowness of the upper eyelid. The double eyelid procedure created more even and defined eyelid folds. Lastly, the sub-brow lift targeted the drooping outer skin in the upper eye region. The procedure involved removing the excess skin just above the upper eyelid and lifting the underlying muscle. The combination of surgeries helped create more proportionate, balanced, and well-rested eyes.

Asian female in her 20s with uneven eyelids and ptosis (droopy eyelid) wanted double eyelid folds. Ptosis is a condition where the eye-elevating muscle is weak and causes the upper eyelid to droop down. Patients with ptosis seeking double eyelid surgery must undergo ptosis correction as well. Without ptosis repair, double eyelid surgery can further exacerbate eyelid droopiness. This patient underwent Asian double eyelid surgery (Asian blepharoplasty) and ptosis correction. The Asian blepharoplasty procedure created defined and natural-looking double eyelid folds. Ptosis repair helped strengthen the eye-elevating muscle and opened up the eyes as noted in the after photo where the patient’s iris is more visible.

Asian woman in her 40s had puffy under-eye bags making the eyes appear tired and older. She received lower eyelid surgery (lower blepharoplasty) where the lower eyelid fat was repositioned. The after photo shows a tightened and smooth lower eye contour resulting in refreshed and youthful eyes.

Asian male in his 40s had monolid eyes that made the eyelids appear heavy.  He underwent Asian double eyelid surgery (Asian upper blepharoplasty) where double eyelid folds were created. Double eyelid creases on males are typically created small. The result was natural-looking double eyelids. The eyes appear bigger and brighter with the iris more visible.
