Understanding The Asian Eyelid Surgery

Most of the people go for blepharoplasty to remove extra fat, puffiness, and tired look from their face. However, others go under the knife to make their eyes look bigger through double eyelid surgery, which is done in NYC and other big cities.

This cosmetic procedure is usually chosen by Asian patients, as their eyes lack a natural crease in their upper eyelids. People who choose this surgery are mostly from South Korea, China, Japan, and other countries of the East Asia.

Asian people living in America also go under the knife so that they can get a more western look. Many Asian people are born without a fold in the upper area of eyes. This lack of crease, which is commonly known as the single eyelid, makes their eyes look smaller.

In Asian blepharoplasty, surgeons create an extra crease in the upper eyelid of patients. They make an incision in the area near eyes and reshape the skin of that area to make a new fold in the upper eyelids.

This surgery may need full or partial incision. Epicanthoplasty is a common surgery that is performed accompanied by the blepharoplasty. In epicanthoplasty, natural epicanthal folds that are associated with the lack of a crease in upper areas of eyelid are removed by the surgeons.

Surgeons create a new crease in the upper eyelid by reshaping skin, removing extra tissues or fat etc. Incisions are closed with small sutures. It causes minimum scarring, which is usually hidden by the newly created fold.

Patients need to rest for a few days after this procedure. Bruising or swelling goes down in few days. One can use cold compresses to ease swelling.

With one more crease, patients’ eyes look much bigger than before. It gives them a desired western look. However, it is not only about getting a western look. Most people just want an enhanced look while retaining their Asian features. Eyes are an essential feature in which changes can only be made by blepharoplasty. This is why you need to find a professional and experienced surgeon for this surgery. Only an expert in this field can provide you the desired results while causing minimum scarring.
