Get answers to common questions about Asian Eyelid.

Good candidates are healthy adults seeking a defined tarsal fold while preserving ethnic identity. Suitability depends on eyelid anatomy, skin, muscle tone, and expectations. A consultation with Dr. Javaheri evaluates your goals, discusses techniques, and creates a tailored surgical plan.

Most Asian Eyelid procedures take about one to two hours depending on complexity and whether additional procedures are combined. The operation is usually outpatient, with preoperative planning outlining the specific techniques and expected surgical timing.

Procedures are commonly performed under local anesthesia with intravenous sedation, though general anesthesia may be used for patient comfort or more complex cases. Dr. Javaheri will recommend the safest, most comfortable option during your consultation.

Initial swelling and bruising typically improve within one to two weeks; many patients resume light activities in about a week. Full healing and final crease definition develop over several weeks to months as tissues settle and scars mature.

Incisions are placed within natural eyelid creases to minimize visible scarring. Scars generally fade significantly over months; Dr. Javaheri uses refined techniques to keep scars discreet while achieving a natural, well-defined fold.

You will notice immediate improvement, but final results appear as swelling subsides over three to six months. Follow-up visits monitor healing and address any minor adjustments once tissues have fully settled for optimal long-term appearance.
