    Our approach to Asian blepharoplasty is similar to our regular philosophy for blepharoplasty with certain modifications. In Asians, we want to create a "double fold" without significantly altering one's appearance or identity. We excise appropriate amounts of skin and fat with a small strip of Orbicularis muscle. Suture closure includes "supra-tarsal fixation" which helps to create the eyelid crease. This approach creates a softer, less surgical upper eyelid crease and fold in Asian blepharoplasty.
