Double eyelid surgery involves creating a natural-looking crease in the upper eyelid to enhance the eyes’ appearance. In this article, we’ll provide an overview of the procedure and explain why it is so popular.
What is Double Eyelid Surgery?
Double eyelid surgery, also known as Asian eyelid surgery is a cosmetic procedure that creates a crease in the upper eyelid. Single eyelids are a common characteristic for people of East Asian descent. The ‘monolid’ look is caused by the absence of an upper eyelid crease, which often results in smaller, puffy or droopy-looking eyes. Asian eyelid surgery, or Asian blepharoplasty, is a relatively simple in-office procedure designed to create a soft, natural-looking upper eyelid crease that makes the eyes appear brighter, larger and more defined.
Asian eyelid surgery is a specialised form of blepharoplasty that requires a deep understanding of the unique anatomical differences between Asian and non-Asian eyelids. The procedure involves carefully measuring the distance between the eyelashes and the eyebrow to determine the ideal crease position, and then making precise incisions to create the crease. The surgeon must take care to ensure the resulting crease is symmetrical, natural-looking, and suits the patient’s unique facial features. With the right surgical technique and expertise, Asian eyelid surgery can produce remarkable results that enhance the eyes’ appearance.
Why is it Popular?
There are many reasons why Asian eyelid surgery has become such a popular cosmetic procedure in recent years. One of the primary reasons is that it can help enhance the eyes’ appearance without significantly altering one’s facial features. This is especially important for individuals who want to improve the look of their eyes while still maintaining their unique cultural identity.
