Epicanthoplasty Surgery - An epicanthoplasty is a surgical procedure performed to increase the overall length of the patient's eye which creates the appearance of a wider eye, and is usually performed in conjunction with the Asian double eyelid surgery. Although there are numerous different methods described Dr. Kim has used this technique to place the scar in the lower eyelash margin to best hide that the procedure has been performed.

Non-Incisional Asian Eyelid Double Fold Surgery - For younger Asian patients who have thin skinned eyelids, the Asian double eyelid surgery can be accomplished without the need for incisions or cutting.  Asian Eyelid Surgeon, Dr. Kim will use either two interlocking suture loops (DST) or five independent fixation sutures to get the desired shape that the patient is looking for. With this procedure there will be no visible scars, and the swelling is very minimal.  Often patients are out in public within a day or two and the swelling is not noticable.

Incisional Asian Eyelid Double Fold Surgery - Patients who have thicker, heavier eyelid skin and excess upper eyelid fat are better candidates for the incisional technique which can improve recovery time and the amount of scarring.

Partial Incision Asian Eyelid Double Fold Surgery - With the partial incision technique, a small incisionis made just along the eyelid and through the intended crease through which excess fatty tissue is removed.  With the partial incision Asian eyelid double fold surgery, there is a small 5mm scar and minimal swelling.

Full Asian Eyelid Double Fold Surgery -The full Incision procedure is recommended by the Dr. Kim when there is thick or excessive skin, fat, ptosis (droopy eyelids), or when a dramatic look is desired by the patient.  This procedure is one of the most common forms of cosmetic surgery for Asian men and women. With a full incision, skin and fat can be removed and any ptosis can be fixed.
