With double eyelid surgery, Melbourne patients can alter the crease of their eyelid to achieve a bigger and brighter facial appearance. Also referred to as an eyelid lift or Asian double eyelid surgery, this procedure can also reduce the wrinkles around the eye offering a more youthful look.
Much like anti-wrinkle injections, with a double eyelid surgery, Melbourne patients can reduce wrinkles around the eyes but in just a one-off procedure, rather than an on-going prescription of injections. For women, this procedure can help simplify the application of makeup as the second crease on the upper eyelid is a more visible for easier application.
Some other benefits include:
This 51 year old Asian female patient had absent upper eyelid folds. She had undergone previous surgery by another surgeon using "stitch" method (no incision) which failed.
This time she underwent a standard "double eyelid surgery" (Asian blepharoplasty) using open incision method to create double folds without "westernising" the eyes.
Patients can reduce wrinkles around the eyes while also simplifying the application of makeup.
With Asian eyelid surgery, Melbourne patients can improve their scope of vision. The single upper eyelid crease has a narrowing effect on the field of vision for some patients. The creation of a second crease opens the eyelid further offering an easier view of your surroundings.
Excess fat or tissue is removed from the eyelids which alters their appearance and reveals more of the eye. This is done via an incision to remove skin or fat with a radiofrequency pen which both cuts and seals the skin.
A layer of stitches is used in the deep layer of the skin, lifting the eyelid and deepening the lid crease, creating a double eyelid. The lower eyelid can also have a similar procedure below the lash line to remove or add fat.
The cost of this procedure will depend on the complexity of your specific procedure. Some patients may also wish to combine other facial procedures such as face or brow lifts for a more significantly refreshed look.

If you experience excess skin on the upper eyelid creating a droopy, aged or puffy appearance, or your upper field of vision is hindered, this procedure may help. Those looking for a more youthful appearance or a way to restore clearer vision may wish to consider a detailed examination and discussion with the expert team at Me Clinic about the procedure and potential associated risks.
One of the main benefits of this procedure is a short recovery time. You will likely experience bruising and swelling the day after surgery, but this can be quickly diminished with the use of a cold compress.
There will be thin bandages placed over the incision site for several days, and stitches for roughly a week. The average healing time varies per patient, but a rough guide is a maximum of two weeks with normal day-to-day activities able to be resumed after seven to ten days.
The common risks and complications with any eye surgery can be an infection, bleeding, scarring, an inability to close the eye, dry eye, and irregular eyelid position, or double vision. The team at Me Clinic features dedicated, highly-experienced and patient-focused staff that minimise these risks considerably.
