When your eyelids affect your confidence….
Some people with a single eyelid fold feel their eyes look smaller or less defined, which can negatively affect your confidence. The single eyelid fold can also lead the eyelashes to hang down and touch the eye, causing discomfort. Double eyelid surgery can help create a subtle fold in your upper eyelid such that your eyes appear more open and your eyelash position is improved.
What is double eyelid surgery?
Asian blepharoplasty, also known as double eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that can create a subtle fold in the upper eyelid. At Lunata in Berkeley, double eyelid surgery is an excellent option for those seeking to enhance their upper eyelids, improve facial symmetry, or address eyelash discomfort while maintaining their unique beauty. With a light-touch approach, Dr. Eliasieh focuses on subtle refinement, ensuring the results are soft and harmonious with your natural features.
The steps involved in your double eyelid surgery
A double eyelid surgery is customized to meet the needs of each individual patient. Typically, an incision is made to form an upper eyelid crease. Skin may be removed if needed, as well as muscle. Fat can be repositioned. Sutures are then placed strategically to form the new crease at the desired height. Dr. Eliasieh prioritizes balance and harmony to achieve a result that enhances, not alters, your appearance.
After your surgery, you can expect some swelling and mild discomfort, which will gradually subside over the next week. Dr. Eliasieh will provide you with personalized care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. You will notice your double eyelids gradually taking shape, and within a few weeks you will begin to see the more defined look you envisioned from your double eyelid surgery in Berkeley.

When will I see the final results?
You will start to notice changes in the definition of your eyelids within the first few weeks after surgery as swelling gradually subsides. Most of the healing occurs during this time, but it may take up to two to three months for the final results to fully reveal themselves. By this point, any remaining puffiness or redness will have disappeared, leaving you with a naturally enhanced and refreshed appearance. Dr. Eliasieh will monitor your progress to ensure you achieve the balanced outcome you envisioned after your double eyelid surgery in Berkeley.
