In this article board certified plastic surgeon discusses blepharoplasty as it applies to the unique eye shape of Asian patients.
Asian Cosmetic Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty
There is no single “correct” or “perfect” eyelid appearance or shape. Beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder, and any type of cosmetic surgery is designed to help the patient feel happier with their own appearance.
Upper eyelid blepharoplasty can be performed for “crease formation”—which is the desire of many Asian patients seeking upper eyelid surgery.
During one’s Asian Blepharoplasty consultation, Troy, MI board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ali will take into account any pre-existing fold or crease of the eyelid, as the upper eyelid’s total amount of skin, where the eyebrows are positioned on the face, and most of all, the patient’s own aesthetic goals and desired outcomes of their Asian Blepharoplasty procedure.
The goal is typically NOT at all to “Westernize” the appearance of the Asian eyes. Rather, Asian blepharoplasty is generally performed to obtain a more open and attractive eyelid appearance – while still maintaining the ethnic integrity of the patient’s appearance.
