Eyes are often the first thing people notice and for many of us, they play a significant role in how youthful, alert, and confident we look.
Asian Blepharoplasty, or Double Eyelid Surgery, is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures among East Asian patients.
At Signature Clinic, we are proud to be one of the UK’s leading centres for this surgery, offering:
- Expert care
- Natural, long-lasting results
- Competitive, transparent pricing
What is Asian Blepharoplasty?
Asian Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to create a natural crease on the upper eyelid.
Many individuals of East Asian ancestry have an epicanthal fold (a fold of skin at the inner corner of the eye), which can make the eyes appear smaller or less open.
By carefully creating a crease in the upper eyelid, this surgery can:
- Make the eyes appear larger, both horizontally and vertically
- Create a fresher, “wide awake” look
- Remove puffiness and redundant skin
- Enhance eyelid definition while maintaining ethnic identity
Unlike Western Blepharoplasty, which is usually focused on anti-ageing, Asian Blepharoplasty is about definition and balance while preserving natural features.
How the Surgery is Performed
- A small incision is made to remove excess skin, muscle, and fat
- A crease is then created for a long lasting result
- Ideal for patients with thicker skin or more excess tissue
At Signature Clinic, your consulting doctor / surgeon will assess your eyelid anatomy, skin thickness, and desired crease height to recommend the most suitable method for you.
The Procedure Step by Step
- Consultation – Consulting doctor / surgeon will examine your eyelids, discuss your goals, and recommend the right method.
- Anaesthetic – A local anaesthetic is used, so you are comfortable throughout the procedure.
- Creating the Crease – Fine sutures or a precise incision is made, depending on the chosen technique.
- Closing the Incision – The incision is closed with dissolvable sutures hidden in the natural eyelid fold.
- Aftercare – You’ll receive tailored aftercare advice and follow-up aftercare call appointments for safe recovery.
- ⏱ Surgery time: 30 minutes – 1 hour
- 🏥 Day-case procedure: You can go home the same day

Asian Blepharoplasty is known for its straightforward recovery.
- Back to work: 5–7 days

Asian Blepharoplasty FAQs
Will this surgery change the shape of my eyes?
Not drastically. It removes excess skin and creates a crease, making eyes look fresher and more defined.
Will scars be visible?
No. Incisions are hidden in the natural crease, making scars almost invisible.
Am I too young for eyelid surgery?
Not necessarily. Many patients seek this procedure in their 20s or 30s due to genetic eyelid traits.
Will this improve my eyesight?
It is a cosmetic procedure, but if drooping skin blocks your vision, you may notice improvement.
How soon can I return to work?
Most patients are back to normal within 5–7 days.
