Asian blepharoplasty, commonly referred to as Asian eyelid surgery, is a specialized cosmetic procedure designed to create a defined upper eyelid crease while maintaining a natural and harmonious look.
This surgery is one of the most sought-after procedures among individuals of Asian descent who either lack a natural eyelid fold or have a weakly defined crease. Dr. Philip Young offers personalized Asian blepharoplasty for patients in Seattle, Bellevue, and Kirkland, ensuring beautiful, customized results that respect your unique facial anatomy.
Unlike traditional eyelid surgery, Asian blepharoplasty is tailored to the anatomy of Asian eyelids, which often differ in fat distribution, skin thickness, and muscle structure. Approximately 50% of individuals of East Asian descent are born without a distinct eyelid crease, which is why this procedure is popular for those who desire a more defined but natural-looking upper eyelid fold. The procedure is also not dependent on a patient’s presentation of the signs of aging like traditional blepharoplasty.
Dr. Philip Young, an experienced facial plastic surgeon specializing in Asian eyelid surgery, uses advanced techniques to create a crease that complements the patient’s unique features. His expertise ensures that results appear natural, balanced, and aesthetically pleasing, without looking overly “Westernized” or artificial.
Patients choose Asian blepharoplasty for various reasons, including:
“My goal was to find a method to bring back a person’s natural youthfulness without the operated, unnatural look and that is why I have my patients bring in photos of them when they were age 5 to 30. My YoungVitalizer helps restore natural and youthful contours they haven’t seen in years.”

At our clinic serving Seattle, Bellevue, and Kirkland, Dr. Philip Young employs both incisional and non-incisional techniques depending on the patient’s anatomy, goals, and personal preferences.
The incisional method involves making a precise incision along the upper eyelid to create a long-lasting crease. This approach allows for additional adjustments such as:
The incisional method is ideal for individuals with thicker skin, excess fat, or a poorly defined crease. Since it provides permanent results, it is a preferred technique for those looking for a long-term enhancement.
The non-incisional method, also known as the suture technique, creates an eyelid crease using carefully placed sutures without cutting the skin. This technique is ideal for individuals with thinner skin and minimal excess fat, and it offers shorter recovery times with natural results.
While the non-incisional approach is less invasive, it is not as permanent as the incisional method, and some patients may require a touch-up over time.
