Double eyelid surgery in young Chinese woman

Early results after double eyelid surgery.

This woman drove a long distance to see Dr. Chaboki, who specializes in facial plastic surgery. She never had a crease and avoided tape to temporarily create a crease. Her friends and family had upper eyelid surgery.

Upper eyelid surgery was performed via awake, local anesthesia. This quick procedure typically involves removing a small amount of skin and using internal stitches to create a crease. Her skin is still pink and healing. The incision fades with time. Most of the recovery occurs within the first couple weeks, but it takes a full year for final recovery after any plastic surgery.
