It is a popular surgery among Asians due to smaller eyes, single eyelids or double eyelids that are unclear. We offer two double eyelid surgery techniques as follows:

1.1 Double eyelid surgery by the open technique: The surgeon makes an incision in the crease of the eyelid, removes fat and excess skin and renders the desired aesthetics before sewing to create a new crease of the eyelid

1.2 Double eyelid surgery: by suture technique: The surgeon marks 6 stitches on the new eyelid crease then inserts the suture (thread) in and out of the muscle and passes it through the marked stitches of the skin of the eyelid anterior to posterior skin. Finally the suture is embedded under the skin to fix the double eyelids

Eye ptosis surgery is a surgical procedure to correct the drooping of the eyelid that often develops with age. There are many methods for eye ptosis correction and the method used depends on the severity of eye ptosis. If the patient has only mild or moderate eye ptosis, the surgeon can fixate Levator application. If the patient has severe ptosis the surgeon will use the frontalis muscle flap from the forehead to fix with the tarsal plate making the eye more open. As in picture 1.

A tell tale sign of an aging face often includes dark rings, wrinkles and sagging below the eyes. Lower eyelid surgery is a cosmetic procedure to correct loose skin, excess fat, and wrinkles of the lower eyelid making the under-eye smoother and significantly more youthful looking. This procedure can take a decade or more off someone’s perceived age. There are two methods for lower eyelid surgery as follows:

3.1 Transconjunctival lower eyelid surgery. This procedure is suitable for someone who has eye bags but skin and tissue that still has good elasticity. The surgeon will remove the excess fat through the incision in the conjunctiva and then close the incision with dissolvable stitches. The eyes will look entirely natural without any visible scar as in picture 1

3.2 Transcutaneous lower eyelid surgery. This procedure is used for those with sagging skin, bags or wrinkles who have less elasticity of the lower eyelid. The incision is made just below the lower eyelash, excess fat is removed, the muscle is fixated, excess skin is removed and sutures (stitches) are made.

A cosmetic procedure to reduce the “Mongolian fold” or Epicanthic fold of the eyes. The Mongolian fold is the skin of the upper eyelids which covers the inner corner of the eyes. Epicanthoplasty involves making a very small incision on the inner corner of the eyes to improve the shape resulting in bigger and brighter eyes. People usually combine Epicanthoplasty with double eyelid surgery to create a more beautiful eye shape.

Canthoplasty is a surgical procedure to improve the lateral Canthus to be balanced and have a natural appearance. There are numerous methods for lateral Canthoplasty such as:

5.1 Lateral Canthoplasty. This is a cosmetic surgery to create a change in the horizontal dimension of the eye. It can enlarge the outer edge of the eye by around 2-3 mm. It can be performed alongside a double eyelid surgery. Epicanthoplasty makes the eye significantly larger and brighter.

5.2 Canthopexy (Cat eyes) This is a minor surgical procedure that strengthens and stabilizes the lateral canthal tendon to tighten a drooping lower eyelid or ectropion. This method repositions the outside corner of the eye where the eyelids meet, restoring a youthful look. It can uplift the eye around 5 mm.

5.3 Lowering Canthoplasty: In some East Asian people the Lateral Canthus is too high and can look unnatural. Lower Canthoplasty can move the Canthus downward around 3-5 mm. Incisions are made in the upper and lower eyelids. The Canthal ligament is repositioned and then adjusted to balance and shape the eye.
