Asian Eyelid (Double Eyelid) Surgery in Vancouver
Double eyelid surgery, sometimes known as “Asian eyelid surgery”, is a procedure that creates a natural-looking upper eyelid crease by reshaping the skin around the eye. Approximately 50% of Asians naturally do not have a crease, or the crease is poorly defined in their upper eyelid. Many feel that their eyelids seem puffy or closed over, that they have a tired appearance, or it makes the eyes themselves appear very small.
In creating a crease in the eyelid, double eyelid surgery can help to make the eyes appear larger, rounder and brighter. Along with creating the crease, this procedure can also help lift drooping eyelids if needed.
Our surgeons will listen to your concerns and work with you to create a surgical plan that will address your unique needs.
The Surgical Experience
Eyelid surgery is performed under local anaesthesia with mild sedation as an outpatient procedure in an accredited surgical facility. It generally takes up to 2 hours for both the upper and lower eyelids to be addressed. Following surgery, the area around the eyes will be bruised and swollen. Patients should apply ice packs, keep their heads elevated, and apply medicated eye ointment for a few days. Subtle, yet dramatic results restore a softer, more youthful appearance.
Cost
The cost for eyelid surgery varies for each patient and will fluctuate depending on whether both the upper and lower eyelids were addressed. Patients who undergo both upper and lower eyelid surgery will pay on average between $4,500-$6,000.

FAQs
Upper eyelid surgery can help improve the vision for patients where the upper lid skin droops over the eye. Temporary dryness of the eyes is managed with eye drops, and may last 1-2 weeks. We take great care during this surgery so that the eyes themselves are left untouched and unharmed.
Eyelid surgery corrects puffy bags and excess skin, but minimally affects crow’s feet. To truly treat crow’s feet, one will need a different approach. BOTOX® injections are better options to help eliminate crow’s feet.
After surgery, scarring will not be easily visible because of where the incisions are placed. In the upper eyelid, the incision follows the natural crease of the eye. The lower eyelid incision will run just under the eyelashes or inside the eyelid. Scarring will be inconspicuous.
