Introduction to Asian Blepharoplasty
Before and After Asian Blepharoplasty (Double Eyelid Surgery)
What is Asian Blepharoplasty?
Asian blepharoplasty, or double eyelid surgery, is one type of cosmetic eyelid surgery offered by Dr. Tina Ho to create creases in the upper eyelids. Patients who lack and subsequently desire upper eyelid folds may be ideal candidates for this procedure. Depending on the anatomy of a patient’s upper eyelids, excess skin and fat may be also removed during this procedure for additional rejuvenation. This surgery requires the expertise of a surgeon who specializes in facial plastic surgery and understands Asian eyelid anatomy well. Dr. Ho’s expertise in blepharoplasty, with a focus in double eyelid surgery, is what makes her among the best options Philadelphia residents can rely on.
Am I A Good Candidate?
Asian blepharoplasty is typically performed on people who lack a natural crease in their upper eyelids and desire one.
People with glaucoma, dry eye, hypertension, thyroid disorders, diabetes, and/or heart disease are not ideal candidates for blepharoplasty. These people must seek professional advice before undergoing the treatment to ensure its safety.

Dr. Ho’s Approach to Asian Blepharoplasty
As an Asian female double board-certified facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Ho specializes exclusively in aesthetic facial procedures including the double eyelid procedure and is experienced in treating patients of various ethnicities including those of Asian descent. She attracts patients who desire double eyelid surgery from all across Philadelphia and Wayne as well as greater Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York. She devotes extensive time and effort with every patient to gauge their ideal eyelid preferences and determine an individualized surgical approach that best meets their expectations. Dr. Ho pursues a natural, conservative approach to Asian blepharoplasty and avoids removing excess skin or fat that may put a patient at risk of an overdramatic or hollowed-out eyelid appearance.
Dr. Ho typically performs this procedure in the surgery center setting with the patient under awake sedation. During surgery, Dr. Ho makes an incision in each upper eyelid and excises small strips of skin and deeper tissues to gain access to the appropriate plane for suturing. She asks the patient to open his or her eyes to confirm crease formation with her suture placement. Her surgical technique is tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy to produce smooth, natural upper eyelid creases. Dr. Ho performs meticulous closure of the eyelid incisions for minimal scarring. She strives for a rejuvenated, unoperated look for every Asian blepharoplasty patient.
What Should Patients Expect After Asian Blepharoplasty?
Every Asian blepharoplasty patient will follow-up with Dr. Ho one week after surgery for suture removal. Each patient will then follow-up again at weeks to months out at regular intervals for re-evaluation.
Patients should expect immediate bruising after surgery that can be managed well with icing and head elevation and typically resolve by two weeks out from surgery. Swelling of the eyelids may be more prolonged and may take months to completely subside, as Asian patients usually possess thicker skin. Post-operative pain is usually mild and managed well with prescribed pain medication. Improvement in the appearance of the eyelids is typically observed immediately or after most of the bruising and swelling has subsided. The eyelid incisions usually heal well with minimal scarring. Dr. Ho seeks regular follow-up with her patients to ensure that every patient heals well and is satisfied with their surgical outcome.
