Asian Eyelid Surgery

Refined Eyelid Definition with a Personalized Approach

Asian Eyelid Surgery is designed to create or refine an upper eyelid crease while preserving the natural character, anatomy, and balance of the eyes.

Every procedure is highly individualized and carefully tailored to the patient’s anatomy, goals, and desired aesthetic outcome. The goal is not to create a different appearance, but to enhance definition and openness in a way that feels natural and harmonious.

At You Are Beautiful, Asian eyelid surgery is approached with precision, restraint, and an understanding of the unique anatomical considerations of the Asian eyelid.

Specialized Expertise in Asian Eyelid Surgery

Dr. Jae Kim has extensive experience performing Asian eyelid surgery and is known for his refined, natural-looking results and individualized approach to eyelid anatomy.

Patients travel from across the region for his expertise in this highly specialized procedure and his understanding of the nuanced anatomical and aesthetic considerations unique to Asian eyelid surgery.

Dr. Kim approaches every surgical recommendation with facial harmony, anatomy, and the preservation of your natural features and ancestry at the forefront of treatment planning.

A Personalized Surgical Approach

No two eyelids are the same.

During your consultation, Dr. Jae Kim performs a detailed evaluation of:

  • Eyelid anatomy
  • Skin thickness
  • Eyelid symmetry
  • Brow position
  • Facial balance

This allows for a customized surgical plan designed to create refined, natural-looking results while preserving ethnic identity and facial harmony.

What Asian Eyelid Surgery Can Address

  • Desire for a more defined upper eyelid crease
  • Asymmetry of the upper eyelids
  • Heavy or hooded upper eyelids
  • Difficulty applying makeup along the lash line
  • Refinement of existing crease anatomy

Procedure Setting: Performed in-office under local anesthesia. No additional anesthesia or facility fees are added to the surgical fee.

A Natural Approach to Results

The goal of Asian eyelid surgery is subtle enhancement—not overcorrection.

Every surgical plan is designed to:

  • Preserve natural anatomy
  • Maintain facial harmony
  • Create balanced eyelid definition
  • Support long-term natural-looking results

The Recovery Process

Most patients experience:

  • Swelling
  • Bruising
  • Temporary tightness

during the initial healing period.

While downtime varies by patient, most patients return to social activities within approximately 7–10 days as swelling and bruising improve.

Healing continues gradually over the following weeks as the eyelids soften and refine.

The Consultation Process

Your consultation includes a detailed eyelid evaluation, discussion of anatomy and goals, and a personalized surgical recommendation based on your facial structure and desired outcome.

Surgical Consultations

Dr. Jae Kim’s surgical consultations are $250.

The consultation fee is non-refundable, but may be applied toward surgical fees if surgery is scheduled within 30 days of the initial consultation.

Visiting Dr.Kim’s office has been a wonderful experience thus far. His staff makes me feel happy and assured at every visit.

(Biggest plus, I have never felt rushed under his care lol you’re the bomb Dr. Kim!!!! Jennifer C.
After interviewing several physicians I decided to go with Dr. Kim. Professionalism is extremely important to me but so is the character of the physician, the attitude, and personality. He made me feel comfortable, he was confident but not arrogant. I trusted his expertise and I was not disappointed. Thank you Dr. Kim! Judy G.
I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Kim for Asian eyelid surgery (upper eyelid blepharoplasty)!!! My results turned out better than I could have ever imagined. Dr. Kim really took the time to listen to me and what I wanted. Together, we carefully planned out where the eyelid crease would be, and it is exactly where we had planned! I also had a quick and somehow painless recovery, which I’m sure much of that can be owed to his excellent surgical technique. I feel so much more beautiful and confident after this surgery. My only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner in life. Thank you, Dr. Kim, for quite literally changing my life, and thank you to his wonderful staff who made this such a pleasant and efficient experience! JA
