Double Eyelid Surgery Santa Clarita, CA | Michael Burnstine, MD

Understanding Double Eyelid Surgery

Double eyelid surgery is a specialized blepharoplasty technique designed to enhance eyelid contours by creating a well-defined upper eyelid crease. This procedure is carefully performed to create subtle, harmonious changes that complement an individual's unique facial anatomy.

Unique Eyelid Anatomy

Eyelids with an Asian configuration represent varied eyelid shapes commonly seen in Asian and some Hispanic populations. These eyelids differ from Western eyelid structures through unique variations in skin, muscle, and fat positioning.

Surgical Approach

• Customized surgical technique based on individual facial anatomy
• Precise skin and fat excision
• Muscle sculpting to form a new eyelid crease
• Strategic suture placement to stabilize eyelid fold

Michael Burnstine, MD's Specialized Technique

The surgical approach at Valencia Eyelid Surgery emphasizes personalized treatment. Surgeons meticulously examine eyelid characteristics, including crease presence, asymmetry, and aesthetic preferences to develop a tailored surgical plan.

Procedure Details

Double eyelid surgery is an outpatient procedure lasting approximately 1-2 hours. Patients can return home the same day, with sutures typically removed within 5-7 days. Surgical scars are strategically hidden within the new eyelid fold.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients may experience temporary changes in eyesight, light sensitivity, and tearing during initial recovery. Most normal activities can be resumed within a few days post-surgery. Cold compresses are recommended to minimize bruising and swelling.

Patient Considerations

The goal of double eyelid surgery is not to "westernize" appearance but to create a subtle, natural-looking enhancement that respects individual facial characteristics and aesthetic preferences.
