Asian Blepharoplasty
New York

The absence of palpebral folds in some people can be explained by a defect of the levator muscle. This is the muscle allowing the opening and closing of the eyelid. In some cases, the muscle may be positioned too low on the eyelid and there may also be evidence of sagging skin and poor positioning of the fat on the eyelids.

Asian blepharoplasty can recreate the palpebral fold, at the level of the upper eyelid. This procedure creates a fold on the upper eyelid and makes it possible to make a little crease and adjust its position.

Thus, the purpose of this procedure is to beautify the eyes and rejuvenate them The biggest challenge in this procedure is to keep the shape of the eye intact and not to change it.

Before undergoing Asian blepharoplasty, your surgeon will see you for an initial consultation. The purpose is to find out your requirements and expectations regarding the procedure, but also to examine the area to be treated. This consultation will provide the practitioner with the opportunity to eliminate some contraindications that would prevent you from having this procedure.

Several surgical techniques can be used depending on the excess skin, but also based on the fat tissue between the eyelashes and the palpebral folds:

• Incisions to be performed: The surgeon makes a horizontal incision along the eyelids to create a crease. Then, he detaches the skin from the orbicularis muscle. The eyelid is then sutured and the scars will be hidden in the fold that is created.
• Mini-incisions: this technique consists of making mini-incisions at the level of the desired palpebral fold. The practitioner then performs sutures on each of the mini-incisions. However, this technique can only be performed in people who do not have excess skin and not a lot of fat in the tissue.

After surgery, the surgeon places cold compresses on the eyes to limit the risk of swelling and bruising. The stitches will be removed around five days after the procedure and you will have to rest for about ten days.

Asian blepharoplasty is performed under local anaesthesia and does not require hospitalization. It can be therefore be performed as an outpatient procedure and lasts about an hour.

Initial results are visible at the end of the operation and are satisfactory in most cases.

After two months the results are more visible and after six months more permanent, when the swelling clears up. The scars are invisible since they are hidden in the new palpebral folds that have been created.

The eyes will look more open and appear more prominent and rounded. Your face will now look less tired and more toned.

Eyelids that have undergone Asian blepharoplasty are subject to the same effects of time as normal eyelids. Thus, signs of ageing will be seen over time.

The cost of Asian blepharoplasty varies according to the technique used and the type of procedure required.
