Eyelid Surgery, aka Blepharoplasty, remains one of the most popular Cosmetic Plastic Surgery procedures. Last year, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASPAS), it ranked number four, ahead of Breast Lifts, and behind Liposuction, Breast Augmentation and Tummy Tucks. The statistics do not break down the number of Occidental vs. Asian Eyelid Surgeries performed, but here in the San Francisco Bay Area, the Asian Blepharoplasty accounts for a significant percentage of all the Eyelid Surgery Performed.
Asian Blepharoplasty
You don’t have to be a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to see that the Asian and Occidental eyelids have different shapes. These differences are directly related to ethnic changes found in the Eyelid Anatomy. While the goals of Blepharoplasty are the same, the techniques to achieve these goals must be modified for differences in the anatomy between Occidental and Asian Eyelids.

Asian Eyelid Surgery Goals
The goals for Asian Eyelid Surgery depend on whether the problem is congenital or acquired. Congenital Eyelid Problems we are born with, and these are often caused by deficiencies in the eyelid’s anatomy. The most common problem is poor connections between the upper eyelid skin and the tarsus, causing a poorly formed eyelid crease and the skin to drop into the eye’s visual field. Acquired Eyelid Problems we earn over time and are caused by aging and relaxation of the soft tissues that protect the eye. Protecting the eye is the primary goal for both types of eyelid surgery. Plastic Surgeons aim to restore the normal anatomy and to provide you with eyelids that look good while they are doing their job.
