Understanding Double Eyelid Surgery in Hawaii

Double eyelid surgery, also known as Asian blepharoplasty, is a specialized cosmetic procedure designed to create an eyelid fold and enhance the eyes in Asian patients without a natural crease. The primary goal is to make the eyes appear larger and more beautiful while preserving unique Asian facial characteristics.
