🌙 Why do your eyelids get puffy — and is lack of sleep to blame?
Short answer: yes…but it’s not the only reason.
When you don’t sleep, cortisol rises → fluid shifts → the thin eyelid tissues swell. Add in genetics, allergies, aging, fat prolapse, and lymphatic congestion, and the result is morning puffiness that can make the eyes look tired even when you’re not.

👁️ As an oculoplastic surgeon, I see this every day.
Some patients need lifestyle adjustments. Others benefit from medical treatments — and some see huge improvement with targeted eyelid procedures.

If your eyes feel puffy, heavy, or swollen, there is a reason…and there is a solution.

Asian Eyelid Surgery (Double Eyelid Surgery): What You Should Know

Asian eyelid surgery is a highly specialized procedure designed to create a natural, defined eyelid crease while preserving each patient’s unique ethnic identity. As an oculoplastic surgeon, my approach focuses on enhancing eyelid contour—not changing who you are.
Many patients choose this surgery to:

✨ Create a more defined upper eyelid crease
✨ Improve symmetry between both eyelids
✨ Reduce heaviness so the eyes look brighter and more open
✨ Maintain a natural, authentic look—not a “Westernized” appearance

Every eyelid is different, and so is every crease. Precise evaluation of skin thickness, fat distribution, levator strength, and your natural crease height helps guide a result that looks seamless and harmonious.
If you’re considering Asian eyelid surgery in Denver, I specialize in natural-looking outcomes that respect your facial heritage and help you look more refreshed without changing your identity.

✨ Why Do We Lose Our Eyelid Crease Over Time? ✨
As we age, the delicate skin and connective tissue of the upper eyelid begin to stretch and thin. The levator muscle, which helps lift the eyelid, connects to the skin through fine attachments that create your eyelid crease.

Over time, these attachments weaken or loosen, leading to:
👁 A less defined crease
👁 Skin folding over the lash line
👁 The illusion of “smaller” eyes

Gravity, sun exposure, and repetitive blinking all play a role — and in some patients, fat redistribution or eyelid drooping (ptosis) further flatten the crease.

The good news? Upper blepharoplasty or ptosis repair can restore a natural, youthful contour and reopen the eyes beautifully.

Rosalind Franklin was a brilliant British chemist and X-ray crystallographer whose work was crucial in uncovering the structure of DNA. Her X-ray diffraction images — especially the famous “Photo 51” — provided the clearest evidence that DNA formed a helical structure. Without her knowledge, these images were shown to James Watson and Francis Crick, who used them to refine their model of the double helix. While Watson, Crick, and Maurice Wilkins received the 1962 Nobel Prize for the discovery, Franklin’s vital contribution went largely unrecognized during her lifetime, making her one of science’s most famous examples of a researcher robbed of due credit.
