    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Aesthetic Medicine
    • Ophthalmology

    Background:

    • Double eyelid surgery is a prevalent cosmetic procedure in Japan, accounting for approximately 90% of blepharoplasties.
    • Cultural shifts in beauty standards have driven the demand for procedures that alter eyelid morphology.
    • Specific facial anatomical features in the Japanese population, such as narrower eye openings and shortened lateral canthi, are perceived as less aesthetically desirable.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the reasons behind the high prevalence of the double eyelid procedure in Japan.
    • To analyze how the double eyelid procedure aligns with evolving aesthetic perceptions in Japanese society.
    • To understand the anatomical basis for the perceived unattractiveness of certain East Asian facial features and how the procedure addresses them.
