The Asian eyelid is very different from that of Caucasians both in anatomy and in aesthetic appearance. For the upper eyelid the ‘double eyelid’ blepharoplasty procedure is well known to create a crease which does not naturally exist.

Background: While the skull is often perceived as just a large round homogenous surface, it is actually made up of various regions or aesthetic units. These units arise from the various plates and suture lines from which the skull is embryologically and developmentally formed. Each of these skull areas can be prone to surface contour Read More…

But it is not a complication Read More…
