Objectives: Asian has the largest population in the world. As the Asia economy continues growing, the cosmetic market is booming. Blepharoplasty is the top cosmetic operative procedure in Asia, thus, knowing how to perform blepharoplasty for Asians is important. Blepharoplasty is easy to learn, but hard to master. The male blepharoplasty has some different points from female blepharoplasty. Male patients tend to have a natural, rugged, masculine appearance, and a non-operated look. Many older Asian men even only requested to remove the redundant skin without double fold formation
Introduction: So, in this lecture, I am going to talk about the anatomic difference between Asian and Western patients. I will also show surgical tips for some Asia patient groups including (1) Young patients without double fold, either using the suture method, partial incision method, or open method. (2) How to manage asymmetry of multiple fold patients (3) How to treat aging dermatochalasis. Ptosis is a disease condition and deserved another special lecture, and will not discuss in this lecture.
