Asian blepharoplasty

What is Asian blepharoplasty?

What is Asian blepharoplasty?

Asian blepharoplasty, also called Sangapuri, is an aesthetic procedure designed to correct the shape and crease of the upper eyelid in Far Eastern eyes. The surgery is less common in our country. It is, however, very widely performed across Asia, in countries such as China and South Korea.

Indications

Indications for Asian blepharoplasty

The indications are purely cosmetic. The eyelids of East Asian patients differ considerably from those of European patients. The defining features are an absent upper eyelid crease and the presence of an epicanthal fold.

For this reason, the procedure is offered to patients of the Mongoloid ethnic group. The surgery creates an upper eyelid crease and corrects the epicanthal fold. Sangapuri surgery suits patients who do not like the shape of their eye and want a brighter, more expressive look.

Surgical technique

Surgical technique for Asian blepharoplasty

The procedure is fairly complex and requires special training and extensive experience from the plastic surgeon. Every case is individual. The exact plan depends on the degree of change required.

There are two techniques for the surgery. The main difference is where the incision sits.

The first approach is called the incision technique. It places cuts along the natural fold of the upper eyelid, between 5 and 10 mm above the lash line. This creates a double supraorbital layer.

The plastic surgeon then accesses the area and trims the excess skin and fatty tissue. Both edges are then closed in layers. In the final stage, the surgeon fixes everything with sutures and places a continuous cosmetic stitch. When needed, the epicanthal fold is removed as well.

The second approach is the suture technique. It suits patients with very subtle Mongoloid eyelids and patients whose upper eyelid skin is very thin. The 1 mm incision is placed on the inside.

During the procedure, the double supraorbital layer is formed. Every tissue layer between the upper eyelid muscle and the skin is then sutured. The sutures are placed through tiny punctures in the eyelid skin.

Recovery period

Recovery (rehabilitation) period

The total recovery time is about 2 weeks. Sutures are removed on day 4.

Following your surgeon's instructions is essential for a faster result and an easier recovery. As soon as you leave the clinic, your eyes must be protected from sunlight, wind and dust. All patients are advised to wear dark sunglasses.

During this period, wearing contact lenses and applying makeup are strictly forbidden. Strenuous exercise must also be avoided. Cold compresses are allowed to reduce swelling, but the type of compress should be agreed with your surgeon in advance.

As for the final result, it can be assessed after 2 months, once full healing has taken place.
