Double eyelid surgery or Asian blepharoplasty is one of the most popular plastic surgeries among the Asian population. Most of Asian individuals think that upper eyelid is more attractive and can help to look not so sleepy and younger, as well as allows for the ladies to create a more beautiful make-up. And this is not surprising, if we compare any sphere of our life we will find out that we always want something that we do not have a bit more.

The first mentioning of this procedure goes back to 1800 in the Japanese literature. An author of that article described the case when a surgeon created a fold to a second eye as the patient was born only with one fold at all.

To let you know almost half of Asian men and women are born without an upper crease or with the very low or weak one. The reasons for procedure differ according to an individual patient. In the very rare cases they want to look “more western”. In most common cases patients want to create a stable platform of skin above the lashes. Another part of patients desire to remove an excess skin or the fat from the fuller eyelids. Also for some people the drooping eyelids become an obstacle to see well that is why double eyelid surgery is a great help for their vision.

Double eyelid surgery has many differences from the Occidental one. First of all the differences relate to patient goals. In the Occidental eyelid surgery patients seek the rejuvenation for the upper lid. That is why the contingent is of older individuals. While the goal for the double eyelid surgery as it was mentioned is for creating a new crease for people with no crease or with the asymmetrical or unstable one. The most common patients in this case are in their twenties or young thirties. Comparing the number of men and women the latter seems to be more frequent one.
