When it comes to Asian blepharoplasty (also known as double eyelid surgery), precision, cultural sensitivity, and artistry matter deeply. JK Plastic Surgery, one of Korea’s most trusted cosmetic surgery clinics for international patients, has earned global recognition for creating natural-looking double eyelids tailored to Asian anatomy and aesthetic goals.
Whether you’re traveling from abroad or already in Korea, here’s how JK Plastic Surgery approaches Asian blepharoplasty to ensure harmonious, long-lasting, and beautiful results—without compromising individuality.
👁️ What Is Asian Blepharoplasty?
Asian blepharoplasty is a cosmetic eyelid surgery that creates a defined upper eyelid crease for patients who naturally have monolids or poorly defined double eyelids. The procedure enhances the eyes’ size and definition while respecting natural ethnic features.
Unlike Western blepharoplasty, which focuses on removing excess skin or fat from aging eyes, Asian blepharoplasty is often about enhancing eye shape and creating symmetry without making the eyes look artificial or overly “Westernized.”

🎨 JK’s Aesthetic Philosophy: “Refinement, Not Drastic Change”
At JK Plastic Surgery, the goal isn’t to make your eyes look like someone else’s—it’s to enhance what’s already beautiful. Here’s how:
- Balance with the entire face: Eyelid crease height and shape are designed to match the brow, nose bridge, and cheekbones.
- Preservation of natural eyelid movement: JK surgeons avoid overly tight or stiff folds that look unnatural when blinking or smiling.
- Minimizing scars and swelling: Advanced microsurgical techniques ensure that scars are either invisible or concealed in the crease.
🔍 Customized Surgical Planning for Every Patient
Before surgery, JK surgeons take time to evaluate:
- Eyelid thickness and fat distribution
- Skin elasticity
- Facial symmetry
- Desired crease style (e.g., parallel vs. tapered)
- Cultural preferences (e.g., Korean vs. Chinese ideal eye shape)
A 3D imaging system is often used to simulate the results, helping patients visualize what to expect. This personalized approach reduces revision rates and boosts patient satisfaction.
🛠️ Surgical Techniques Used by JK Plastic Surgery
1. Non-Incisional Method (Suture Technique)
- No skin is cut; instead, sutures are used to create the crease.
- Minimal swelling and recovery time (4–7 days).
- Suitable for younger patients with thin eyelids and no sagging.
2. Incisional Method
- Involves a small incision to remove excess skin, muscle, or fat.
- Ideal for patients with thick or sagging eyelids, or for revision cases.
- Longer-lasting, more defined crease.
3. Combination with Ptosis Correction
- Corrects drooping eyelids (ptosis) for brighter, more open eyes.
- Often performed with incisional blepharoplasty for functional and aesthetic improvement.
4. Epicanthoplasty (Inner Corner Surgery)
- Opens the inner corner of the eyes for wider, softer appearance.
- Popular with patients who want a more balanced medial canthus.
