Approximately half of the Asian population lack the natural fold or upper eyelid crease that divides the eyelid into two parts. This is a natural trait of many Asian eyes and is commonly referred to as a “Monolid” or “Single Eyelid”. A popular non-surgical and non-incisional procedure is performed by Dr Phan to correct this, known as “double eyelid procedure”. The “double eyelid” procedure is the most commonly requested aesthetic procedure amongst the Asian demographic looking for a more defined upper lid crease.
If you are unhappy with the appearance or symmetry of your eyelids, you may be considering a double eyelid procedure. The top aesthetic skin clinic in Melbourne, Appearance Clinic Australia, can help you. For more information or to book a consultation with Dr Diana Phan, call (03) 9331 2566.
Dr Phan performs double eyelid procedure with the non-incisional double eyelid suture technique. The non-incisional method enables the creation of a double eyelid fold and potentially increases the height of the lids without the need to cut or stitch the skin. However, patients must be aware that even though this technique does not require an incision of the eyelid skin, this procedure still requires Dr Phan to administer a local anaesthetic. The entire procedure can be performed at the top aesthetic skin clinic in Melbourne, Appearance Clinic, in less than an hour with no hospital stay required.
The initial consultation is a crucial step in the non-incisional double eyelid surgery process. During this session, Dr. Phan will evaluate your upper eyelid skin and discuss your aesthetic goals. This thorough consultation ensures you are a suitable candidate for the procedure and helps set realistic expectations for your eyelid surgery.
The non-incisional double eyelid surgery uses a suture technique to create the desired eyelid crease. Tiny surgical punctures are made to insert sutures under the skin, forming the upper eyelid fold without visible scars. This procedure is performed under local anaesthesia and typically takes less than an hour, providing a quick and effective solution for double eyelids.
After your non-incisional double eyelid surgery, it is important to follow post-operative care instructions to ensure proper healing. This includes keeping the upper eyelid area clean, avoiding strenuous activities, and using lubricating eye drops as needed. Proper aftercare will help minimize discomfort and ensure that your upper eyelid crease heals properly.
Recovery from non-incisional double eyelid surgery is quick, with most patients experiencing minimal discomfort. Swelling and bruising typically subside within one to two weeks, allowing patients to return to normal activities. Full recovery, including the resolution of any residual swelling, may take a few months, but the results are long-lasting and natural-looking.
It is important to note that Dr Phan only performs non-surgical or non-incisional procedures on the upper eyelids. This information is to explain the difference between a surgical and non-surgical approach.

This technique is also referred to as Asian blepharoplasty procedure. It requires a surgical cut on the upper eyelids. This procedure is preferred when excess skin or fat needs to be removed during the procedure. A small cut is typically made at the skin fold to reduce the visibility of a scar post-procedure. This surgical or invasive procedure can either be performed in a hospital or under local anaesthetic at a plastic procedure or cosmetic procedure.
The non-incisional procedure is also known as a suture eyelid procedure. This procedure is done under local anaesthetic and does not require hospitalisation. Once the doctor has marked the correct areas of the eyelid skin they will create tiny surgical punctures. Through these surgical punctures, they will insert sutures under the skin so they are not visible after recovery. This creates a non-surgical double eyelid crease favoured in Asian facial aesthetics.
While non-incisional double eyelid surgery is generally safe, it is important to be aware of potential risks and complications. These can include infection, bruising, and asymmetry. However, these risks are minimal compared to surgical procedures. Dr. Phan will discuss these risks in detail during your consultation to ensure you are fully informed.

Upper eyelid surgery, or upper blepharoplasty, may not be suitable for everyone. Individuals with certain medical conditions, such as severe dry eyes, active eye infections, or underlying health issues that impair healing, may not be good candidates for this surgical procedure. Additionally, those with unrealistic expectations or psychological conditions like body dysmorphic disorder should reconsider undergoing cosmetic surgery. Consulting with a specialist plastic surgeon is crucial to determine if upper eyelid surgery is appropriate and to understand the invasive procedure carries risks.
Asian eyelid surgery, including non-incisional methods and Asian double eyelid surgery, typically provides long-lasting results.

However, natural aging processes and lifestyle factors can affect the longevity of the results, so it's important to maintain a healthy lifestyle and follow post-operative care instructions.
