Asian Blepharoplasty in Richmond Hill & Downtown Toronto

Asian blepharoplasty—also known as double eyelid surgery—is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures among East Asian patients. This highly specialized eyelid surgery is designed to create a natural-looking crease in the upper eyelid while preserving the patient’s ethnic identity and unique facial features.

Dr. Chad Wu, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Richmond Hill and Downtown Toronto, is a trusted expert in ethnic eyelid surgery. His approach to Asian blepharoplasty combines surgical precision with cultural sensitivity, delivering results that are elegant, functional, and uniquely yours.

What Is Asian Blepharoplasty?

Unlike traditional eyelid surgery, Asian blepharoplasty is not focused on aging changes—it’s about creating a well-defined supratarsal crease in patients who naturally lack one. Many individuals of East Asian descent have a monolid appearance due to differences in eyelid structure, such as:

• Low or absent eyelid crease
• Fuller upper eyelid fat pads
• Thicker skin and fibrous tissue

The goal of Asian eyelid surgery is not to Westernize, but to enhance the eye’s natural shape and openness in a way that aligns with the patient’s aesthetic preferences.

Surgical Techniques Offered by Dr. Chad Wu

Dr. Wu offers both:

• Incisional Double Eyelid Surgery — Best for patients with thicker skin, excess fat, or those seeking permanent results.
• Non-Incisional (Suture) Technique — A minimally invasive option for those with thinner skin and little to no excess fat.

During your consultation, Dr. Wu will evaluate your eye anatomy and help determine the ideal crease height, shape, and surgical method based on your goals.

What to Expect: Surgery & Recovery

Asian blepharoplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia with light sedation and takes about 1—1.5 hours.

Recovery Timeline:

• Mild swelling and bruising for 7—10 days
• Most patients return to work within 5—7 days
• Final crease refinement over several months
• Sutures (if applicable) removed after 5—7 days
