Asian Blepharoplasty: Enhancing the Eyes with Precision and Care

The goal isn’t to Westernize the eyes, but rather to create a natural, defined eyelid crease that enhances expression while respecting ethnic features.

Dr. Chad Wu, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Richmond Hill and Toronto Downtown, specializes in Asian blepharoplasty using precise techniques tailored to each individual’s anatomy and desired outcome.

Understanding the Procedure

Many Asian individuals are born without a defined upper eyelid crease or have a monolid. Asian blepharoplasty creates a new crease or enhances an existing one by removing or repositioning a small amount of skin, fat, and muscle. The result is a more open, defined look that can brighten the eyes and improve symmetry.

What sets this procedure apart is the attention to subtle detail. The skin and soft tissue in Asian eyelids are often thicker, and the crease must be carefully placed to avoid an unnatural or exaggerated result.

Techniques and Customization

As a leading plastic surgeon in Richmond Hill and Toronto Downtown, Dr. Wu offers both the incisional and non-incisional (suture) techniques. The incisional method is typically used for those with excess skin or fat, while the non-incisional approach may be better for younger patients with thinner skin and minimal tissue.

During your consultation, Dr. Wu takes precise measurements, discusses your aesthetic preferences, and determines the ideal crease height and shape for your features. The goal is always to enhance – not erase – your identity.

Recovery and Results

Asian blepharoplasty is usually performed under local anesthesia with light sedation. Most patients experience mild swelling and bruising for about a week. Sutures are removed after 5–7 days, and patients can typically return to normal routines within 10–14 days.

Final results become visible as swelling subsides, and the crease becomes more defined. As an experienced plastic surgeon in Richmond Hill and Toronto Downtown, Dr. Wu ensures a meticulous recovery plan and ongoing support throughout the healing journey.
