What's up with double eyelids?

First, what is a “double eyelid”?

“Double eyelids” refer to a crease in your eyelid that makes it fold over itself. When this happens your eyelid is still visible when your eyes are open. Sometimes it can be difficult to notice, because a lot of people have them, but, upon closer inspection, you’ll notice that not everyone has them. In fact, a lot of Asians do not have double eyelids.

Okay, now why are double eyelids desirable?

The visual effect of having your eyelid still visible when your eyes are open makes your eyes appear larger and more round. In general, this is perceived as being more attractive, and this is why Open Upper Blepharoplasty (you can find out more by clicking the following link: http://www.alaxis.sg/double-eyelid-incisional/) is very common and, actually, quite popular in Asian countries such as Korea and Japan.

Open Upper Blepharoplasty is a very small, very safe surgery. Most patients experience minimal swelling and have to get few stitches depending on the steps that are taken during the operation. They are able to return to work and socializing in 3 to 7 days’ time, but this also depends on the patient and their personal rate of healing.
