While there are some Asians with a double eyelid and some without, there is also a large variation in the crease position (double eyelid size) of the East Asian upper eyelid. The upper lid fold can range from 1 mm above the eyelash line to about 10 mm. Several methods can be used to create the double eyelid–including the full-incisional, partial incision and no incision methods (e.g. the DST method). Each has its advantages depending on the patient’s anatomy and desires.

Asian blepharoplasties have been reported to be the most common aesthetic procedure in Taiwan and other parts of East Asia. This procedure has been reported to have some risk of complications, but is generally quite safe if done by an expert plastic surgeon. Practitioners of Asian double eyelid surgery include plastic surgeons, otolaryngologists, and Oral and maxillofacial surgeon (facial cosmetic surgeons), and ophthalmologists (oculoplastic surgeons). A procedure to remove the epicanthal fold (i.e. an epicanthoplasty) is often performed in conjunction with an Asian blepharoplasty.
