Upper Blepharoplasty to open and create symmetry in the ocular area of a younger woman of Asian descent

Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) is a popular cosmetic procedure for both Washington DC area men and women. Upper eyelid surgery reduces excess skin, reduces fat, and/or tightens eyelid tissue. Patients might also report looking or feeling less tired after eyelid surgery. Each upper eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) is tailored specifically for each patient.

This young woman had always considered upper eyelid surgery to help improve symmetry and create an eyelid crease, a very popular procedure among Asian patients. She had consulted with other eyelid plastic surgeons to review eye lift options. A conservative upper eyelid surgery was performed by facial plastic surgeon Dr. Chaboki in the office via local anesthesia. A small amount of skin was removed and the eyelid tissue tightened with sutures that gradually dissolve. A quick recovery allowed her to return to work soon after cosmetic surgery. Her eyes are now more symmetric and appear more open for natural results.
