Dr José González Vidal emphasises the increase of the Asian Blepharoplasty.
The eyes determine face expressiveness. Every person has natural features which can be emphasized and improved to highlight your natural beauty. Effective results are achieved thanks to simple techniques, without going into the operating theatre.
In Japan and China, Asian Blepharoplasty to obtain a western look has been reported to be one of the most common aesthetic procedures. The increase of the economic level of these countries increases the interest to improve the personal image and therefore the demand of aesthetic treatments.
Anatomically, there are a number of differences in the upper eyelids of Eastern Asians compared with Caucasians. Eastern eyes are almond-shape and do not have a crease in the upper-lid. The upper-lid falls like a ‘curtain’. Blepharoplasty removes the skin or fat excess in some cases and creates a crease so that the eye keeps clearer.
This procedure is made with local anaesthesia and it is so successful that the patient can go home with his/her eyes uncovered.
On the other hand, Blepharoplasty can be made the other way round, namely, for western featured people who want to achieve an Asian almond-shape look.
Lids are very sensitive and it is very important that the patient explains what he/she wants exactly. The best results are achieved with a perfect relation doctor-patient.
