Non-Caucasian individuals can gain an upper eyelid crease with no incisions and a short recovery with the help of Los Angeles plastic surgeon Charles S. Lee, M.D., F.A.C.S. He is an Asian double eyelid surgery professional at Enhance ® Medical Center, Inc., who offers the double sutures and twisting method (DST) at his Beverly Hills practice. The DST technique offers patients the opportunity to achieve a natural-looking eyelid fold.
The Asian facial structure, which is unique in comparison to other ethnic groups, requires a skilled plastic surgeon, such as Dr. Lee, to be experienced and familiar with their facial anatomy.
Natural-Looking Asian Eyelid Surgery Results
Using the DST technique, Dr. Lee will create a crease by using permanent non-reactive sutures (prolene, used in heart valve surgery) and securing them to the firmest structure of the upper eyelid, the tarsal plate; it is composed of strong cartilage. He will then secure the other side of the structure to the adjacent side. This type of eyelid surgery (“blepharoplasty”) creates beautiful, full eyelids.
The best candidate for DST double eyelid plastic surgery is someone who has thin skin, does not have excess fat in the upper eyelids, heavy or low eyelids, or complex eye problems, such as ptosis (“sleepy eye”). This procedure is ideal for those who want results with a quick recovery period. In comparison to the traditional double eyelid surgery procedure, the DST technique only requires a few days of downtime, as compared to several weeks. Dr. Lee can also perform DST surgery for revision double eyelid surgery.

Oftentimes, complementary procedures, such as nose surgery (“rhinoplasty”) and jaw surgery (“jaw reduction surgery”), are also performed on Asian patients. A combination of procedures can help an individual achieve an overall facial improvement.
