subject: Asian Eyelid Surgery Trend On The Rise [print this page] Unless you have been living under a rock, Asian eyelid surgery has been a rising trend amongst Asian Americans over the past few years. Unlike the traditional blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) performed in America or other Western countries, this type of eyelid surgery is sought out by many women in Asia or from Asian descent to change their monolids to achieve Western-looking double eyelids. You may wonder to yourself, Why would people even seek Asian eyelid surgery? Two very common and simple answers to this question are as follows: larger shaped eyes and an easier makeup application process. Since many East Asian people genetically have single eyelids, Asian eyelid surgery has become the most common procedure performed in countries like Korea, Japan, and China.
Traditional blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is generally sought out by older women patients who feel their upper eyelids drooping and want a lift for a more rejuvenated appearance. Lower blepharoplasty can also be performed for patients who have severe baggy and puffy lower eyelids to attain a more youthful facial appearance. Unlike the previously mentioned, Asian eyelid surgery is typically sought out by a younger age group desiring double eyelids. With Asian eyelid surgery, an incision is made in the upper eyelid to create a new fold. Once the lid is fully healed, patients can enjoy larger shaped eyes and easier makeup application on their new double eyelids.
With a diverse and booming Asian population in sunny Southern California, it should come as no surprise that many plastic surgeons now offer Asian eyelid surgery for patients interested in creating the upper eyelid crease. Korean Americans, Chinese Americans, and other Asians have all sought out this popular eyelid surgery. Many Asian Americans, of course, have returned to their respective countries to have the procedure performed. While many choose to go on this path, the best eyelid surgeon can easily be found right at home, in Los Angeles. The eyes are an extremely sensitive matter and choosing a highly certified plastic surgeon with the appropriate skill set should be a main priority.
If you are interested in Asian eyelid surgery in Los Angeles or any other type of eyelid surgery, be sure to contact your local plastic surgeon for more information. Browse around their photo gallery for previous blepharoplasty results and research to determine which surgeon is right for you. Although it may be cheaper to have the surgery performed overseas, bear in mind that the cost of the procedure alone should never be the sole reason for choosing a particular surgeon. Always look at their past patients or portfolio to determine if their skill set matches what you are hoping to achieve from eyelid surgery.
