Am I a Candidate for Double Eyelid Surgery?

For many women and men of Asian heritage, double eyelid surgery can help achieve a desirable aesthetic, where the eye looks much more awake and brighter. Double eyelid surgery is a procedure that adds a crease to the upper eyelid, thus breaking up a heavy eyelid without sacrificing the beautiful Asian eye aesthetic.

At Awaken Aesthetics in Torrance, CA, board-certified surgeon Dr. Eric Ahn specializes in surgeries for patients who wish to achieve a specific aesthetic while still preserving their Asian appearance. He can help you determine if you’re an ideal candidate for a double eyelid surgery, as well as walk you through what you can expect from the procedure.

Want to know if you’re a candidate for double eyelid surgery? You may be a good fit for this surgery if:

  • You’re a healthy non-smoker over the age of 18
  • You have thick, excess skin on your eyelids
  • You sometimes feel as though your eyelids make you look tired, even when you’re feeling awake and alert
  • Your field of vision has been obstructed by your eyelids
