Asian Double Eyelid Surgery Los Angeles, CA | Dr. Kenneth Kim Plastic Surgery- Partnered with Dream Medical Group

Understanding Double Eyelid Surgery

Double eyelid surgery is a sophisticated procedure designed to add dimension and depth to the eyelids. Some individuals naturally have a "monolid" without a supratarsal crease above the eyelashes. Dr. Kim specializes in creating a subtle, natural-looking crease that enhances the eye's appearance.

Surgical Techniques

Full Incision Double Eyelid Surgery

For patients experiencing skin sagging or ptosis, Dr. Kim performs a full incision technique. This method allows for precise removal of excess skin and creation of a defined eyelid crease. The surgical approach ensures a taut, rejuvenated appearance.

Partial Incision Technique

Dr. Kim's partial incision method offers a more targeted approach. By making a selective incision through the orbicularis muscle, he can: • Remove excess adipose fat • Contour the eyelid precisely • Create a multilayered eyelid transformation

Non-Incision Double Eyelid Surgery

For patients with thin upper lids and minimal excess fat, the non-incision technique provides an alternative. Dr. Kim skillfully creates a fold that mimics the natural supratarsal crease, using strategically placed sutures to achieve a uniform, aesthetic result.

Benefits of the Procedure

• Achieve a more dimensional lid appearance • Add depth and definition to the eyes • Remove cumbersome fat and excess skin • Customize eyelid contours to individual specifications

Candidacy and Consultation

Residents and visitors to Los Angeles can explore double eyelid surgery if they are in good health and seek to enhance their eye aesthetics. Dr. Kim conducts comprehensive consultations to determine the most suitable approach based on individual eyelid structure and skin characteristics.

Procedure Details

Typically lasting approximately one hour, the surgery is performed under local anesthesia. Dr. Kim takes a thorough and precise approach, carefully analyzing how gravity affects lid functionality during the pre-operative assessment.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect swelling to subside within two weeks as their refined eyelids emerge. Dr. Kim recommends avoiding makeup on the treated area for 7-10 days and provides personalized post-operative guidance.
