Asian Blepharoplasty in Newport Beach
Are you considering a subtle change to your eyes? Asian blepharoplasty is a specialized eyelid surgery designed to enhance natural beauty without compromising your unique features.
Many people of Asian descent are born with beautiful monolids, but some may prefer a more open-eyed look. Asian blepharoplasty can help achieve this goal by creating a subtle crease that looks natural and complements your facial features.
Dr. Goretti Ho Taghva is a highly skilled Orange County plastic surgeon with advanced training in Western and Asian aesthetic surgery, including specialized post-residency training in Korea. Her deep understanding of differing ethnic anatomies allows her to help patients achieve their aesthetic goals while honoring and preserving their unique features.

A Defined Eyelid Crease
Dr. Ho Taghva creates a clear crease above your eye, giving it a more defined look.
A More Balanced Face
By correcting any unevenness in your eyelids, Asian eyelid surgery can help your face look more balanced and harmonious.
How is Asian Blepharoplasty Different?
Asian eyelid surgery, often called double eyelid surgery, is designed to create a natural-looking crease in the upper eyelid and address excess tissue that may affect your vision, or make you look older. It’s a simple way to enhance your eyes and achieve your ideal look.
About half of people of Asian descent are born with a single eyelid, meaning there’s no visible crease on the upper lid. Combined with unique fat pad distribution and skin thickness, sometimes this can make the eyes look puffy or hooded. Another common feature is the epicanthal fold, which covers the inner corner of the eye and can make the eyes appear smaller or narrower. While most people lose this fold with age, it’s a distinctive trait for many Asians.
Dr. Ho Taghva specializes in Asian eyelid surgery at her Newport Beach practice, LEA Plastic Surgery. She understands the unique anatomy of Asian eyes and uses this knowledge to deliver natural-looking results that complement your features. If your goal is to achieve a more open, refreshed, and alert look, Dr. Ho Taghva can help.
During a typical Asian eyelid procedure, Dr. Ho Taghva creates a new crease in the upper eyelid to enhance eye shape and definition. This can address aesthetic goals and improve vision by correcting drooping eyelids. Whether you’re seeking a subtle enhancement or a more dramatic transformation, Dr. Ho Taghva will work closely with you to select the best technique for addressing your needs.
Asian eyelids often differ in thickness due to more skin, muscle, and fat. The levator muscle, which lifts the eyelid, is usually smaller or weaker. These characteristics contribute to the monolid appearance that double eyelid surgery can transform.
If you’re considering changing the appearance of your monolid, this procedure can bring balance to your facial harmony and help you feel more confident. Let Dr. Ho Taghva help you achieve your goals with care and expertise tailored to your needs!

Unique Techniques for Asian Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty is the most popular cosmetic surgery in Asia and ranks third among Asian Americans, according to the National Library of Medicine.
The desire for a “double eyelid” is often cultural, as this feature is generally considered attractive. Achieving this through surgery requires a deep understanding of the natural eyelid crease and the skill to create a crease that looks effortless and natural. For many Asian patients, the goal is to achieve a more open-eyed look without losing the unique shape of their eyes.
The goal isn’t to conform to European beauty standards but to enhance your natural beauty while honoring your heritage. Finding a surgeon, like Dr. Ho Taghva, who understands your particular needs and respects your individuality is key.
Dr. Ho Taghva offers various techniques to suit your goals, from non-incisional or incisional to fat redistribution:
- Suture Technique – Creates a crease with tiny stitches.
- Full Incision Technique – Removes excess skin and fat, creates a crease, and provides an open-eyed look.
- Fat Redistribution – Repositions fat within the eyelid.
Dr. Ho Taghva may recommend additional procedures to help you reach your goals, such as:
- Medial Epicanthoplasty
- Lateral Canthoplasty
- Ptosis Repair
