Many people of Asian descent have inherited eyelids lacking a natural crease. Similar to a traditional eyelid surgery, Asian eyelid surgery is a customized procedure that can be performed to enhance the appearance and shape of your eyes, creating a “double eyelid.” As experts in this custom surgery, our surgical team at SVIA is passionate about delivering a truly unique and personalized aesthetic experience. We are known for performing these procedures with ultimate skill.

What is the recovery time?
The recovery from Asian eyelid surgery is reasonably comfortable. Initially, you can expect some bruising and swelling, which fades over the days following your procedure.
