Enjoy Brighter, More Expressive Eyes

At New York Laser Vision Aesthetics, we offer double eyelid surgery (also known as Asian blepharoplasty) for patients who want to create a natural-looking crease in the upper eyelid. For some, the goal is to make the eyes appear larger or more defined; for others, it’s to balance asymmetry between the eyelids. Board-certified ophthalmologist Dr. Julia Giyaur performs this procedure with artistry and precision to highlight your natural beauty while maintaining your unique features.

What Is Double Eyelid Surgery?

Double eyelid surgery in Manhattan is a specialized form of blepharoplasty that creates or enhances a crease in the upper eyelid where one does not naturally exist. The result is a “double eyelid,” which can add definition, brighten the eyes, and make them appear more open. This procedure is one of the most requested aesthetic eyelid surgeries worldwide and can be performed with or without skin removal, depending on your anatomy and goals.

Who Is a Candidate?

You may be a good candidate for double eyelid surgery in Manhattan & Brooklyn if you were born without an upper eyelid crease, have an uneven crease, or simply desire a more defined look. Candidates should be in good health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations about what the surgery can achieve. Dr. Giyaur will evaluate your eyelid anatomy during your consultation and discuss whether an incision or suture technique suits your needs.

What to Expect During Double Eyelid Surgery

Double eyelid surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia with sedation. Depending on the technique, Dr. Giyaur will place small sutures to create a fold or make a precise incision to remove excess skin, fat, or muscle before forming the new crease. The procedure usually takes one to two hours.

Recovery & Results

Most patients return to normal daily activities within about a week, though swelling and bruising can last 1–2 weeks. Makeup can typically be worn again after the initial healing period. Final results become more visible as swelling subsides, revealing a defined, natural-looking crease that enhances your eyes while preserving their individuality. Results are long-lasting, though the natural aging process will continue.
