Asian Double Eyelid Surgery in Sydney
Medical Aesthetics 360° — Chatswood & Hurstville
Asian double eyelid surgery is a refined, highly customised upper eyelid procedure that enhances eyelid definition while preserving the individual character and beauty of Asian facial features. At Medical Aesthetics 360°, Dr Huang combines advanced eyelid techniques from Korea, Taiwan and Australia to create natural, balanced and elegant results tailored to each person’s anatomy.
This procedure is popular among individuals who desire a brighter, more open eye shape, improved symmetry, smoother eyelid definition, or a more stable crease for makeup. Every element — from skin thickness to fat distribution to levator strength — is carefully assessed to ensure the crease design complements the person’s natural features.
Understanding Asian Eyelid Anatomy
Asian eyelids differ significantly from Western eyelids in structure, tissue distribution and crease formation. These differences include:
- Thicker upper eyelid skin
- More subcutaneous and orbital fat
- A lower or absent natural crease
- Unique attachments between the eyelid skin and levator muscle
- A naturally fuller upper lid contour
Because of these variations, the aesthetic goal is not just to “create a crease” but to balance fat, refine tissue architecture and design a fold that looks authentic, proportionate and harmonious.
Dr Huang’s approach focuses on sculpting the right amount of volume and determining the ideal height and depth of the crease so it appears soft, smooth and naturally integrated into the eye shape.
Our Technique at MA360°: Precision at Every Step
Asian double eyelid surgery at Medical Aesthetics 360° is carried out with an emphasis on comfort, accuracy and carefully controlled tissue refinement.
Comfortable Local Anaesthesia
The upper eyelid is numbed using a small dose of local anaesthetic containing xylocaine with adrenaline.
This allows the eyelid to become numb promptly. Most people report the procedure as comfortable once anaesthesia has taken effect, and the post-procedure period is usually not painful.
Surgitron Radiofrequency Technology
To achieve exceptional control and minimise trauma, the procedure is performed using Surgitron radiofrequency technology, which provides:
- Minimal heat spread to surrounding tissue
- Highly controlled incisions
- Reduced inflammation
- Precise contouring around fat pads
- Faster recovery and cleaner wound edges
This modern device assists in achieving refined and predictable crease formation.
Refined Fat Balancing
Asian eyelid aesthetics rely heavily on balanced volume, not aggressive fat removal. Dr Huang gently sculpts subcutaneous and orbital fat to create:
- A smooth contour
- A natural shadow beneath the crease
- Reduced heaviness without creating hollowness
The goal is an eyelid that feels lighter but still retains youthful volume.
Precise Crease Height & Depth
The height of the crease is selected based on:
- Skin thickness
- Fat volume
- Muscle characteristics
- Desired aesthetic style
Thinner lids often suit a crease around 7–7.5 mm, while thicker eyelids achieve a more natural result around 6–6.5 mm.
Depth is equally important. If the crease is anchored too deeply, the fold may appear harsh or bulky. If it is too shallow, the crease may not hold as expected.
Dr Huang determines the ideal depth intra-operatively and adjusts as needed to ensure a smooth, elegant fold.
Immediate Assessment During the Procedure
As part of the refinement process, gentle intra-operative assessment can be performed to evaluate:
- Symmetry between both eyes
- Crease stability
- Eyelid opening dynamics
- How the crease behaves with movement
This allows adjustments to be made immediately, which helps reduce uncertainty and anxiety during the healing phase.
Recovery & Aftercare
Healing is a gradual, structured process, and most individuals feel comfortable throughout.
Minimal Pain After the Procedure
Once the local anaesthetic is administered, the procedure is usually painless.
In the days that follow, most individuals describe the eyelids as tight or puffy, but not painful.
Suture Removal at 1 Week
Sutures are typically removed after 7 days, and most swelling begins to ease significantly during the second week.
Scar Care & Silicone Gel
During the first month, the incision line — which sits naturally within the crease — is supported with gentle aftercare.
Silicone gel is often recommended to:
- Reduce redness
- Support smooth scar maturation
- Minimise the visibility of the incision over time
As the crease heals and settles, the line gradually becomes less noticeable.
Gradual Softening & Refinement
Over several weeks, the eyelids refine further as:
- Swelling decreases
- The crease becomes more defined
- The fold softens into a natural shape
Full maturation varies between individuals, but most enjoy a clear, elegant crease as healing progresses.

Asian eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty): What you need to know
Our eyes are one of the most significant features of our facial profile. Yet, for one reason or another, many people spend their lives unhappy with the appearance of their eyes.
For some people of East Asian descent, eye shape can sometimes be characterised by a single rather than a double eyelid, causing the eyes to appear puffy or droopy, with a smaller appearance. For some, this is an aspect of their facial appearance they’d love to address – in which case, Asian eyelid surgery is a fantastic and simple way to open, brighten and widen the eyes.
By removing excess sagging skin from the upper eyelid and creating a natural-looking crease, blepharoplasty surgery is a safe and simple way to achieve a brighter and more defined eye appearance, with enhanced eye contours and a beautifully natural yet wider shape.
At Medical Aesthetics 360, our highly skilled team of trained cosmetic doctors are qualified to perform blepharoplasty surgery from the comfort of our state-of-the-art Sydney clinics. Choosing to undergo a blepharoplasty procedure with us means you’ll benefit from the highest level of expertise, an unrivalled standard of care, and truly exceptional results.

Frequently
Asked
Questions
Q) What does a blepharoplasty procedure involve?
Your blepharoplasty surgery will be carried out in the comfort of one of our state-of-the-art Sydney clinics, by a highly-trained cosmetic doctor.
The procedure will begin with the application of numbing medication to ensure you feel relaxed and comfortable throughout the treatment.
During the surgery, your cosmetic doctor will cut along the fold of the eyelid, remove excess skin, muscle and fat, then close the cut. If your procedure involves correcting a drooping upper eyelid, your cosmetic doctor may also perform ptosis to provide extra support to the eyebrow.
Your blepharoplasty surgery will usually take between 60 and 90 minutes.
Q) When will I see the results of my blepharoplasty surgery?
Post-surgery bruising and swelling will generally subside within 10 to 14 days, after which you’ll notice an enhanced eye appearance with wider, brighter eyes. Any surgical scarring you experience can take a few months to fade.
Q) What happens after my procedure?
After your surgery, you’ll be monitored for a short while to ensure there are no complications and will then be able to return home the same day.
You may experience the following temporary symptoms following your surgery:
- Blurred vision
- Watery eyes
- Extra sensitivity to light
- Double vision
- Puffy eyelids
- Swelling and bruising around the eyes
Your cosmetic doctor will provide you with detailed post-surgery instructions in order to minimise pain and discomfort, as well as to avoid any issues. These may include the following:
- Applying ice packs to the eyes regularly
- Cleaning the eyelids as per the surgeon’s instructions
- Using prescribed eye drops
- Avoiding heavy lifting, strenuous activities and swimming for a week
- Not smoking
- Not rubbing your eyes
- Avoiding wearing contact lenses for two weeks
- Wearing dark sunglasses to protect your eyes from sun and wind
Q) How long do the results of a blepharoplasty procedure last?
For some people, the results of a blepharoplasty surgery will last a lifetime. For others, results can remain for at least 5-10 years.
Q) How much does a blepharoplasty procedure cost in Sydney?
Our highly personalised level of service means that we’ll tailor a treatment plan to suit your specific needs, concerns, and desired results. As a result, treatment pricing will vary from patient to patient.
During your initial consultation, one of our trained doctors will conduct an assessment of your eyes, discuss your situation, and develop a customised plan for your treatment. This will include a detailed breakdown of costs, timeframes and what to expect.
