Asian eyelid surgery is always preceded by a no-obligation consultation. A consultation can take place once the photos you have sent have been assessed by the surgeon, meaning that you are a potentially suitable candidate. Then, in a personal meeting with one of our specialists, in a relaxed setting, you can ask all your questions, discuss your wishes and express your expectations about the treatment.
Again, our specialist assesses your eligibility for an Asian eyelid surgery and provides a clear explanation of the treatment, aftercare, risks, costs and the expected natural end result. Photographs are taken before the treatment and later placed next to post-treatment photos.
We fully understand how you feel. Eyelid surgery is a procedure you may have been thinking about for years and now finally dare to take the step. We are happy to guide you through the process from A to Z, including using a specially developed aftercare protocol.

Asian eyelid surgery is performed under local anaesthesia during a day procedure. If you are very nervous before the procedure, we can prescribe sedative medication. It is important that you feel comfortable during the procedure.
On the day of your surgery, our surgeon carefully measures and uses a pen to mark the best place on your upper eyelid for a natural-looking crease. Local anaesthesia is then given to completely numb the area. Discomfort is minimal during the procedure. The procedure takes about an hour.
The procedure is done using the open technique (also known as incisional technique). The surgeon makes an incision where the fold should be. Skin, muscle and fat are then removed where necessary. Several internal sutures are used to suture the fold to the aponeurosis of the levator muscle. This is because the levator muscle is the muscle that naturally creates a double eyelid crease by pulling the skin crease inwards. The skin is then sutured together with a surface suture.
This is the most reliable and effective technique. It gives a permanent eyelid crease and the scar falls into the crease making it minimally visible. The main drawback is a longer recovery time, with several weeks of swelling - and often several months of waiting to see the final result.
Due to our years of experience in performing Asian eyelid surgery, we work with a special pre- and aftercare protocol. This ensures you are optimally prepared and recover without complications. Usually, pain relief with paracetamol is sufficient after the operation. You are not allowed to drive back on the day of surgery. Furthermore, we advise you not to drive a car while your vision is impaired. For the first 24 hours after surgery (you do not have to do this overnight), you should cool yourself for 15 minutes every hour using a cold pack or a bag of peas from the freezer. During cooling, place a gauze pad between the eyes and the cooling element.
After surgery, you may experience bruising and swelling of the eyelids, so you may not be able to close your eyes completely after surgery. This will recover once the swelling has decreased. You should not cut the ends of the stitches yourself. You may shower again the day after the operation (24 hours). After showering, try to dab the wound dry and not wipe it.
You should not use contact lenses for 2 weeks. You can use make-up again after removing the stitches, when all scabs have disappeared. We strongly advise you not to smoke until the stitches are removed. Smoking increases the risk of complications. We advise you not to expose the scars to UV sunlight and/or tanning beds for 3 months after surgery.
As with any surgical procedure, there are possible complications with double eyelid or Asian eyelid surgery. These include infection, bleeding and reaction to anaesthesia. The rare risks of Asian eyelid surgery include difficulty closing the eyes and dry eyes. In some cases, slight asymmetry of the eyes occurs. This can be disconcerting during the healing process, but often evens out over time. If really necessary, the surgeon can correct asymmetry, folds that are too high or too low and folds that are too deep or shallow. When in doubt, always contact the specialists at SkinSurgery Clinics.
An Asian eyelid surgery, or double eyelid surgery, is different from a regular eyelid surgery, or single eyelid. It is therefore important to find a surgeon who suits you and understands your needs well. Feel free to visit our clinic in The Hague or Bergschenhoek for personal advice.
