Area of Science:

  • Oculoplastic surgery
  • Facial aesthetics
  • East Asian anatomical features

Background:

  • The levator aponeurosis fold, or double eyelid, is a significant feature contributing to East Asian facial aesthetics.
  • Variations in eyelid morphology can impact perceived attractiveness and facial harmony.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the aesthetic outcomes of creating a dynamic levator aponeurosis fold in East Asian individuals.
  • To analyze the impact of this surgical creation on eye size, puffiness, eyelash appearance, and eyebrow-to-ciliary border distance.

Main Methods:

  • Surgical creation of a dynamic levator aponeurosis fold (double eyelid).
  • Assessment of pre- and post-operative aesthetic parameters including eye size, lid puffiness, eyelash orientation, and facial proportions.

  • Eyelashes exhibited an upward and outward curve.
  • The distance between the ciliary border and the eyebrow was reduced, improving facial proportionality.
  • The characteristic Mongolian eye trait was maintained.

Conclusions:

  • Surgical creation of a dynamic levator aponeurosis fold is an effective method for enhancing East Asian eye aesthetics.
  • This technique improves key aesthetic features while preserving ethnic characteristics.
