What does Asian eyelid enhancement or blepharoplasty mean?
Some Asians are born without a crease on the upper eyelid or a very rudimentary fold that is barely present. In these individuals, the eyes may look very narrow and tiny giving them a sleepy eye or overly ethnic appearance that may not be aesthetically pleasing. Asian blepharoplasty, also known more popularly as the “double eyelid” procedure, is a short operative technique to permanently create a crease or fold in the upper eyelid and thereby open up the narrow appearance of the Asian eyelid.
