Did you know that more than half of the Asian population lacks a visible crease in the upper eyelid? Depending on the rest of your facial features, this lack of fold can give your face a sleepy appearance rather than a bright-eyed look.
Asian eyelid surgery can allow your eyes to look larger, waking up your entire face. It is imperative, however, to find the right surgeon to perform your eyelid surgery. Dr. Westreich at New Face NY understands the intricacies of the Asian eye structure and can provide you with elegant, natural-looking results.
What is Asian Eyelid Surgery?
Asian eyelid surgery, also referred to as Asian blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to give Asian eyelids the look of a double crease. This crease can awaken your face for a warmer look, as well as provide a beautiful canvas for cosmetic application. The addition of this crease can make your eyes appear more inviting, giving you a more alluring look.
What are the Types of Blepharoplasty?
When seeking a surgeon to perform your Asian eyelid surgery, it is important to note the differences between Asian eyelid surgery and traditional blepharoplasty.
- Traditional blepharoplasty, also known as an eyelid lift, is a cosmetic procedure designed to provide the eye with a more youthful, awake, refreshed look. It is typically performed on those who are experiencing skin laxity or areas of fat deposits in the upper eyelid as a result of the effects of aging.
- Asian blepharoplasty is a specialized procedure that is performed on those of Asian descent in order to create the look of a crease or double eyelid look. The goal of Asian eyelid surgery should never be to create a more “Western” look to the eye. Your heritage is a unique, wonderful part of who you are. Rather, the goal of Asian eyelid surgery should be to give you larger, more alluring eyes that enhance your overall facial appearance.
What Should I Look for in a Surgeon When Considering Asian Eyelid Surgery?
The procedure for Asian blepharoplasty is a very delicate one, which requires skill, an artistic eye, and intimate knowledge of the anatomy of the Asian eye. The crease in the Asian eye is quite different from that of the Western eye, and your surgeon must know how to create a sophisticated, natural-looking crease while embracing your ethnic heritage. Furthermore, it is imperative that you find a board-certified plastic surgeon with a reputation for consistently creating elegant, harmonious, natural-looking results.
