Blepharoplasty is one of the first and most common surgeries to appear in China, the reason being the very large single-lidded group of Asians, and the fact that with blepharoplasty, you can often achieve widened, more luminous and moving eyes is the reason many young women choose blepharoplasty. After decades of development, there is a wide variety of eyelid surgery options, with close to a hundred published reports in various professional journals, which undoubtedly makes most candidates hesitant to choose a surgical procedure and unsure of how to choose. This article will address this confusion. The three methods of blepharoplasty currently used in China’s major cosmetic surgery facilities can be summarized as the buried line method, the incision method, and the Korean blepharoplasty method. The next three methods are described separately: [Buried liner] The buried liner method is the least invasive surgical procedure and is performed by suturing the skin to the lower eyelid tissue to form a double eyelid fold. Because of the minimal trauma, the recovery time is quick, usually within 1 week, and there is no scarring after surgery. However, because the subcutaneous tissue of the upper eyelid is not adequately treated, some patients may lose their eyelids again some time after the procedure. It is also important to note that the eyelid procedure requires a high degree of skin tightness and is suitable for those who do not have bloated upper eyelids. The incision method involves surgically cutting the upper eyelid skin and then treating the subcutaneous tissues of the upper eyelid, such as muscle and fat, to create a double eyelid. The advantage of this method is that it can correct the bloated upper eyelid tissues of oriental people, remove loose skin for those with loose skin, and partially correct deficiencies such as inner canthus, so it can be said that the incision method of blepharoplasty can systematically solve various deficiencies of the upper eyelid. The disadvantage is that the upper lid skin is incised, leaving a shallow scar, and the recovery time after surgery is longer than the buried wire method, usually 1 to 2 weeks for obvious swelling and about 1 to 3 months for a full recovery to nature. It is important to note that the incision method is the most traditional method of blepharoplasty, but after decades of improvement, the incision method is now very different from the original. This will speed up the healing process and greatly reduce post-operative scarring. Korean eyelid surgery is one of the most popular techniques used by people who are looking for Korean eyelid surgery, and the first thing I hear from many people is “Dr. Liu, I want to do Korean 3-point eyelid surgery”. But they don’t know what Korean eyelids are, which inevitably leads to a misunderstanding of their treatment. Here I would like to highlight the nature of Korean blepharoplasty and its indications. The essence of Korean blepharoplasty in medical terms is small incision blepharoplasty, which, as the name suggests, is the design of multiple (usually three) small (usually 2-4mm) length incisions in the upper lid, through which the subcutaneous tissue is properly treated and then sutured, thus creating double eyelids. Since the Korean beauty market is huge and double eyelid surgery is widely performed, Korean doctors have summarized this method and published it in magazines, gaining more recognition, hence the name Korean style blepharoplasty. In fact, small incisions have also been performed in China for a long time, but are not well known because of the late development of the Chinese cosmetic market. Korean blepharoplasty is actually a method of blepharoplasty between the buried and incision methods. Because of the small amount of tissue cut, the recovery time after surgery is shorter than with the incision method, and the incision scar is smaller than with the incision method, but larger than with the buried method. Also, because of the treatment of the subcutaneous tissue, the post-operative eyelid maintenance time is more stable than the buried wire method. However, it is important to note that this method is more strictly for people who have loose upper lid skin and bloated upper lids. The above summary gives you a better understanding of the various types of blepharoplasty and shows that the most important thing about blepharoplasty is that it should be tailored to your own conditions.
