- Suitable for Asian patients with “single” upper eyelid fold – found in about 40% of Oriental Asian eyes
- A new, higher fold is created surgically, revealing the skin below the fold to create a “double-eyelid” appearance
- This can be achieved through an “open incision” or using a “closed-suture” technique
- Open technique is superior and longer-lasting but requires incision, leaving a very faint scar
- Closed technique requires no incision but results can fade with time, requiring another procedure
- Cost: $3,000 (closed technique); $3,500 (open technique)
