Patients seeking double eyelid surgery at our Saratoga, California, practice trust Dr. Laura Phan to create a more prominent but still natural-looking eyelid crease. In her skilled hands, this complex procedure honors and upholds the variety of eyelids from all different ethnicities.
Also known as Asian blepharoplasty, double eyelid surgery aims to create a natural crease and contour for the upper lid or to enhance an existing eyelid crease. It is primarily associated with individuals of Asian descent; however, the surgery is appropriate for anyone who wishes to enhance their eyelid crease and fold.
Keep in mind that each patient is unique and your results may vary.
Dr. Phan typically performs double eyelid surgery in-office while you are under local anesthesia. The incision is made across the length of the eyelid or with 5 to 6 tiny cuts at a pre-determined height. This incision will become the new crease. After removing any excess skin and fat, Dr. Phan forms or enhances the eyelid crease by securing the skin and muscle to deeper layers of the eyelid with internal sutures.
Dr. Laura Phan has devoted years of studying and hands-on experience to offer the safest, most flattering eyelid surgery possible. Her mastery of techniques and aesthetics ensures both functional improvements and a natural-looking cosmetic outcome. Dr. Phan specializes in double eyelid surgery (Asian eyelid surgery) and traditional blepharoplasty.
