Enhance Definition and Balance with Double Eyelid Surgery in McKinney

At Setty Plastics & Aesthetics, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Chung combines surgical mastery with artistic vision to create results that enhance rather than alter. For patients seeking more defined upper eyelid contours, double eyelid surgery, also known as Asian blepharoplasty, offers a subtle yet transformative way to open the eyes, improve symmetry, and bring balance to the face while preserving ethnic identity and individuality.

What Is Double Eyelid Surgery?

Our double eyelid surgery in McKinney is a specialized procedure that creates or enhances a natural crease in the upper eyelid. Some individuals are born without a visible eyelid fold (a monolid), which can cause the eyes to appear smaller or less defined. Through meticulous surgical technique, Dr. Chung designs an eyelid crease that complements your facial structure and personal aesthetic goals.
This procedure can be performed using either an incisional or non-incisional method, depending on factors such as eyelid anatomy, skin thickness, and desired permanence. The result is a refreshed, more open gaze that looks natural, never artificial.

Benefits of Double Eyelid Surgery

Double eyelid surgery is one of the most precise procedures in facial aesthetics, offering aesthetic and functional advantages. Benefits include:

Enhanced eye definition and contour
Brighter, more open appearance
Improved symmetry between the eyes
Easier makeup application and longer-lasting results
Refined crease that complements natural features
Long-lasting, natural-looking rejuvenation

Are You a Good Candidate for Double Eyelid Surgery?

You may be an ideal candidate for double eyelid surgery if you:

Were born without a visible eyelid crease or have asymmetric folds
Have excess skin or fat that obscures the natural eyelid shape
Wish to enhance your eye definition while maintaining cultural authenticity

Are in good general health and have realistic expectations for results
Do not smoke or are willing to temporarily stop before and after surgery to promote healing

Dr. Chung tailors every surgical plan to the patient’s anatomy and preferences, ensuring that the outcome looks harmonious and proportionate to your facial features.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Your double eyelid surgery begins with a detailed consultation to discuss your goals, review eyelid anatomy, and determine the most appropriate technique—incisional or non-incisional.

Incisional method: Small incisions are made along the planned crease to remove excess tissue and create a defined fold. This approach provides long-lasting, precise results and is best suited for thicker or heavier eyelids.
Non-incisional method: Fine sutures are used to create the crease without cutting the skin. This technique involves minimal downtime and is ideal for patients with thinner skin or those seeking a reversible option.

The procedure typically takes 1–2 hours under local anesthesia with sedation, and patients return home the same day.

Recovering After Double Eyelid Surgery

You can expect mild swelling, bruising, and tightness around the eyelids for the first week, which gradually resolves. Most patients return to work and normal activities within 7–10 days, with final results visible after several weeks as the crease refines and settles naturally.

Dr. Chung provides personalized aftercare instructions to support smooth healing and optimal symmetry.

How long do results from double eyelid surgery last?

Results are generally long-lasting, especially with the incisional method, which creates a permanent crease. Non-incisional techniques may be reversible, but most patients enjoy lasting enhancement for many years with proper care.

Will double eyelid surgery affect my vision?

No, the procedure is focused on the upper eyelid crease and does not interfere with your eyesight. In fact, for some patients, removing excess skin can slightly improve peripheral vision if drooping eyelids were obstructing it.

What types of anesthesia are used for double eyelid surgery?

Double eyelid surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation, but general anesthesia can be used in select cases, depending on patient preference and surgical complexity.

Are there any risks or complications associated with the surgery?

As with any surgery, potential risks include temporary swelling, bruising, asymmetry, infection, or mild scarring. Choosing an experienced, board-certified surgeon like Dr. Chung significantly reduces these risks.

Can double eyelid surgery be combined with other procedures?

Yes! Many patients combine it with procedures such as ptosis correction (droopy eyelid repair), eyelid fat removal, or even brow lifts to achieve more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

How should I prepare for my surgery?

Patients are advised to stop smoking, avoid certain medications and supplements that increase bleeding risk, and arrange for post-operative care. Dr. Chung provides detailed pre-operative instructions during your consultation.

When can I resume wearing contact lenses or eye makeup?

Most patients can resume using contact lenses after 1–2 weeks. Eye makeup should generally be avoided for at least 10–14 days to prevent irritation and support proper healing.

Will my scars be visible?

Scars are minimal and strategically placed along the natural eyelid crease, making them virtually invisible once fully healed. The non-incisional technique leaves no visible scars.

Can double eyelid surgery correct asymmetry between my eyes?

Yes, one of the main goals of double eyelid surgery is to improve symmetry. Dr. Chung carefully designs the crease for each eye to achieve a harmonious and natural look.

How do I choose between incisional and non-incisional techniques?

The choice depends on your eyelid anatomy, skin thickness, and desired permanence. Dr. Chung will guide you through the best option to achieve natural, long-lasting results tailored to your features.
