This review covers unique Asian facial aesthetic surgeries, including upper blepharoplasty, rhinoplasty, and facial contouring. Current trends favor minimally invasive techniques and specific materials for natural-looking results in Asian populations.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Oculoplastic Surgery
  • Craniofacial Surgery

Background:

  • Facial aesthetic surgery in Asian populations presents unique considerations distinct from Western procedures.
  • Understanding cultural and anatomical nuances is crucial for achieving desired aesthetic outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review literature on three distinct Asian facial aesthetic surgical procedures: upper blepharoplasty, augmentation rhinoplasty, and skeletal facial contouring.
  • To highlight the unique aspects and current trends in these Asian-specific procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of Asian upper blepharoplasty, augmentation rhinoplasty, and skeletal facial contouring.
  • Analysis of historical, anatomical, technical, and current opinion components for each procedure.

Published on: July 8, 2025

Main Results:

  • Asian upper blepharoplasty emphasizes non-Westernization, with popular minimally invasive techniques like continuous buried tarsal stitch and separate epicanthoplasty incisions.
  • Asian augmentation rhinoplasty shows a trend towards using expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) materials, with soft ePTFE sheets showing future promise.
  • Reduction malarplasty is commonly performed via a safe intraoral approach, while lower facial reduction involves combined mandibular and masseter muscle procedures.

Conclusions:

  • Successful outcomes in Asian facial aesthetic surgery require a deep understanding of cultural, aesthetic, anatomical, and technical factors.
  • These three procedures are distinct and necessitate specialized knowledge for optimal patient results.
