Enhanced eye shape and symmetry:<\/strong> Asian eyelid surgery can also help to enhance the shape and symmetry of the eyes. The procedure can address issues such as asymmetry, drooping, or puffiness in the eyelids, which can make the eyes appear tired or aged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Improved self-confidence:<\/strong> Many individuals who undergo Asian eyelid surgery report feeling more confident and comfortable with their appearance. The procedure can help to create a more youthful and refreshed look, which can boost self-esteem and enhance overall quality of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Long-lasting results:<\/strong> While results may evolve over time, Asian eyelid surgery is generally considered permanent, providing long-lasting results that most patients experience for years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Minimal scarring:<\/strong> This procedure is typically performed using very small incisions that are hidden within the natural crease of the eyelid. This means that scarring is generally minimal and discreet, making it an excellent option for individuals who want to achieve their desired results without visible scarring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are subtle but important, differences between the Asian eyelid and those of other ethnic groups. In the past, the goal of Asian eyelid surgery was the \u201cCaucasian look\u201d making for an unnatural-looking appearance, but this is no longer the case. Modern Asian eyelid surgery aims to achieve a natural crease and fold that is commonly seen in normal Asian anatomy in about 50% of the Eastern Asian population. Dr. Amadi takes into account the unique ethnic features of each patient to provide a beautiful, authentic and natural-looking result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The major differences of the Asian eyelid include the amount and location of periorbital fat, the presence of a defined epicanthal fold, and a single lid or lack of \u201csupratarsal crease.\u201d When a crease is naturally present in the Asian patient, it is usually at a lower position on the eyelid thus exposing a smaller eyelid platform, the so-called \u201ctarsal platform show\u201d, or TPS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In most cases, the Asian eyelid is substantially fuller than the Caucasian lid, due to a higher fat volume. The orbital fat is located at a lower position in the upper eyelid and as a result, creates a \u201cpuffier\u201d appearance to the eyelid platform. This thicker subcutaneous fat layer also makes it more difficult for a natural crease to form. When performing double eyelid surgery, it is important to minimize the fat excision, if needed at all, in order to decrease the risk of a hollow upper eyelid\/brow region (superior sulcus). It is a fine balance that requires very skilled attention and experienced hands.<\/p>\n\n\n In Asian eyes, the lateral canthal (outside corner of the eye) position is slightly higher and the medial canthus (inside corner of the eye) often has an \u201cepicanthal fold\u201d, a fold of skin that extends as a continuation of the upper eyelid crease\/fold to the medial canthus and sometimes the lower eyelid. This can create an \u201coverhang\u201d of skin that hides the inner part of the eye, making the eye seem smaller horizontally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, and most importantly, the Asian eyelid crease\/fold is lower (closer to the lashes) than in the Caucasian eyelid. Understanding this anatomic difference is quite possibly the most important part of creating a natural Asian crease\/fold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some people of Asian descent, about half in some studies, will have a well-developed eyelid crease, whereas others have none at all, and still others a combination. Even within the Asian population, there are variations to the crease: tapered nasally towards the epicanthal fold versus parallel to the eyelid margin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Asian Eyelid Surgery The biggest misunderstanding of Asian Blepharoplasty is that the goal is […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3265,"parent":235,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"ps-procedures-serv.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nAsian Eyelid Anatomy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
