Get Appealing Eyes with Asian Blepharoplasty

So you are an Asian, at least those double lids on your eyes make you look so. Well, if you have a strong dislike for this ‘crescent moon’ look and great desire for getting a pair of bigger as well as prettier eyes, the Asian Blepharoplasty will be the best option for you. Here are all you should know about it:

What is Asian Blepharoplasty?

Asian Blepharoplasty, also termed as ‘double eyelid surgery’, is a cosmetic procedure in which the fat present in the upper eyelids of the patient is eliminated in order to provide her a pretarsal crease and a bright-eyed appearance. These types of eyes, which lack creases in puffy lids, are mostly visible in Asians and hence, the procedure is named so. It not only makes the application of eye products easy but also creates a westernized look.

How Does It Work?

• The process of the Asian blepharoplasty mainly involves the removal of a certain amount of extra skin present on the eyelids and some fat pads as well as tissues underlying it. The creases need to be formed efficiently and the incision needs to be healed perfectly.
• ‘Full incision’ can be done by making a long incision from corner to corner of the upper eyelids in which the scar takes maximum time to heal and leaves no visible mark. More than one small incision can be made across the upper eye lids in order to perform a ‘partial incision’ procedure. It is a great way to fat removal with a very little scar and naturally dissolved outer sutures. The surgeon can also replace the incision(s) with sutures from side to side of the eyelids in ‘no incision’ method. It does not lead to a scar, but can result into severe inflammation.
• You need only 1 hour to undergo this surgery.

Recovery Time
