In Washington D.C. &. Maryland

Eyelid ideals and aesthetics vary among different ethnicities in terms of beauty preferences. For instance, those of North Eastern descent, such as China, Mongolia, Korea, Taiwan, and Japan, often opt for a smaller eyelid height.

Individuals of South Eastern descent, like those from Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, Indonesia, and Malaysia, prefer a taller eyelid. To accommodate this aesthetic enhancement, Asian eyelid surgery is designed to reflect your unique cultural influences and preferences.

What are the steps of Asian Eyelid Surgery?

Asian eyelid surgery in Washington, D.C., has specific steps. Dr. Landford performs this surgery with precision and expertise. 

 

We typically begin by administering local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. Once you are comfortable and the anesthesia has taken effect, Dr. Landford carefully makes an incision along the predetermined crease line of the upper eyelid.

 

Next, she meticulously removes excess skin, fat, and muscle tissue as needed to create a well-defined and natural-looking crease. Dr. Landford will close the incision with fine sutures, crafting minimal scarring and optimal healing.

Surgical Techniques for Asian Eyelid Surgery

Surgical techniques for Asian eyelid surgery vary based on individual eye shapes and aesthetic goals, with standard methods including:

Incisional technique

This traditional method involves an incision along the eyelid to remove excess tissue and create a natural-looking crease.

Non-incisional technique

The suture or stitching method involves creating a crease using sutures placed within the eyelid tissue, avoiding external incisions.

Buried suture technique

 In this method, sutures are placed within the eyelid tissue to form a crease, with the knots buried beneath the skin to minimize visible scarring.

Partial incision technique:

This hybrid technique combines elements of both incisional and non-incisional methods, focusing on specific areas of the eyelid while preserving tissues.

Combination technique

Some surgeons may employ a combination of surgical techniques to achieve customized results tailored to the patient’s unique anatomy and desired outcome.

Where are the incisions and scars for Asian Eyelid Surgery?

During Asian eyelid surgery, the incisions are typically made along the predetermined crease lines of the upper eyelid, ensuring that resulting scars are discreetly concealed within the natural fold of the eyelid. Dr. Landford employs precise techniques to minimize scarring and achieve natural-looking results.
