Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Ophthalmology
  • Aesthetic Medicine

Background:

  • Facial features and beauty concepts vary significantly between Oriental and Caucasian populations.
  • Blepharoplasty of the Oriental eye is a prevalent aesthetic procedure in East Asia.
  • Subtle modifications, rather than Caucasianization, are typically desired for Oriental eyelid aesthetics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel non-incision technique for creating aesthetically pleasing supratarsal folds in Oriental eyelids.
  • To address the common patient preference for defined, invaginated folds that appear natural.

Main Methods:

  • Review of 762 patients who underwent the non-incision blepharoplasty technique.
  • Application of a single-suture method to construct supratarsal folds.
