Understanding the Asian Double Eyelids Surgery
To comprehend the financial implications of double eyelid surgery, it is essential to first understand the procedure. While this surgery is conducted globally, Honolulu, Hawaii has emerged as a preferred location. This tropical destination boasts world-class surgical and medical care, and plastic surgeons in the area have considerable experience with a predominantly Asian clientele. Dr. Michael Pasquale’s clinic in Honolulu is one such establishment. Dr. Pasquale has completed his residency in plastic surgery and holds a two-year training certificate in cosmetic surgery from NYU Downtown, Manhattan. He is also a certified osteopathic physician and surgeon (D.O.) and is highly regarded for delivering results that harmonize with the patient’s natural features.
Surgical Techniques
An initial physical examination determines the type of surgical approach needed. In cases where excess skin, fat, and muscle need to be removed, incisions are typically made at the crease of the upper eyelids and just below the eyelashes on the lower lids. For Asian patients, this crease is generally positioned lower than what is commonly applied in Caucasian eyelid surgery. Alternatively, for younger patients with elastic skin where no removal of skin, fat, or muscle is necessary, a suturing technique may be employed. Dr. Pasquale offers this method, although most patients tend to prefer the traditional, more enduring techniques.
Selecting the Right Surgeon for Asian Double Eyelids
While cost is a factor, it should not be the sole determinant in choosing a plastic or cosmetic surgeon for double eyelid surgery. The surgeon’s qualifications, experience, and reputation are paramount. Dr. Pasquale, experienced with a range of Asian ethnicity including Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese, is an ideal choice for those considering this procedure. He is also a noted instructor in Korea, China and Japan for many years.
