When it comes to blepharoplasty (double eyelid opening), most people’s first reaction is to want a “minimally invasive” procedure such as a “buried line” or “three-dot”, but what people don’t know is that the percentage of Chinese (or However, we don’t know that the percentage of Chinese (or East Asians) who are really suitable for minimally invasive blepharoplasty is no more than 10% of the population, and that the upper eyelid should be thin (thin skin, thin muscles, little fat), tight (tight skin, tight muscles, no flaccidity), and free of internal canthus (rounded inner corners of the eyes). The minimally invasive surgery cannot remove the excess upper eyelid skin, so people over 30 years old are not suitable for minimally invasive double eyelids. But some people may ask, in reality, more than 10% of people go for minimally invasive double eyelids and the results are fine. But the truth is that people who do not meet the 3 criteria above will not get the same beautiful results as those who do get minimally invasive blepharoplasty, and will eventually go back to have an open blepharoplasty in the near future to get better and longer lasting results. Why choose an open blepharoplasty? In fact, the incisional blepharoplasty has four major advantages over the minimally invasive method: 1) it can remove skin, so the results are longer lasting (at least 10 years); 2) it can remove fat, making the eyelids thinner, more like natural, natural eyelids, and more aesthetically pleasing; 3) it can open the corners of the eyes at the same time, which is the icing on the cake; 4) it can correct ptosis at the same time, making the eyes more attractive, so it is definitely It is the gold standard for all upper eyelid types. Why do people often have doubts about the “incision” method? 1. Fear of upper eyelid scars In fact, only the eyelid incision does not leave a scar after healing (also including scarred eyelids), and it usually takes 3 months for the incision marks to be completely invisible after surgery. In fact, the slow recovery from post-operative swelling is not only related to the patient’s own physique (which accounts for at most 10% of the factor), but also to the surgical method chosen by the surgeon, and differences in key surgical details and treatments can cause a world of difference in post-operative recovery time. In fact, in most cases, the eyelids before surgery are typical of “swollen eyes”, with a bulging upper eyelid, which is arguably the most difficult type of blepharoplasty to open, and also a problem that “minimally invasive surgery” cannot solve. This is the most difficult type of blepharoplasty to perform, and it is also a difficult problem that cannot be solved with “minimally invasive surgery. In conclusion, it is up to a professional and experienced plastic surgeon to determine if you are suitable for the “minimally invasive” method of eyelid surgery, not what you think, feel, what others say, or what you wish to accept and choose, because there is absolutely a scientific and logical relationship between each person’s eyelid condition and the choice of surgical procedure and the final outcome. There is a scientific and logical relationship.
