Asian double eyelid surgery: Searching for "Brighter"
It is a fact: more and more ethnic minorities in the United States choose plastic surgery than ever. Research has shown that from 2000-2005, there was a 65 percent increase in the number of people from ethnic minorities undergo surgery for cosmetic reasons, and this number continues to grow.
However, a growing number of minorities choosing to have "Ethnic plastic surgery, or procedures, which some see as only to erase the ethnic characteristics and make them conform closely to the perceived ideal target. From nose jobs to reduce operations in Africa's nose, eyelid to make eyes appear rounder Asia, these procedures are gaining in popularity - although it is widely disputed.
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgery, the following are the most popular among ethnic groups minority:
Back to the nose: the op more common among African Americans and Hispanics
Breast Augmentation: The procedure is the most popular among Hispanics
Breast Reduction: The second most popular among African-Americans
Blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery is cosmetic surgery more popular Asian
The double Asian eyelid surgery
Estimated about 50 percent of all Asians have what is called a leaf "Unique" or cover one eye, sometimes with the existence often depends on the country of origin. In Asia, the double eyelid surgery is a cosmetic procedure more popular, even if it takes third place among Asian Americans in the United States, just behind the nose and boob job.
Several techniques tested and tests are used to achieve this double eyelid, including:
Suture method. A series of small incisions along the top, then tight sutures underneath the skin. When the skin is raised and a folded sheet not entirely natural appearance is made. Although this method is cheaper and gives good results are not permanent.
full incision method. The surgeon makes an incision in the shape of the crescent d'une along the line incision and muscle strips, the orbital septum and bold are sometimes taken (which also removed the traditional eyelid surgery). Both pieces are sewn together permanently, so that the result is long life and a more natural, especially when the patient witness.
Double Twist (DST) method. The best of both worlds (in the immortal words of Hannah Montana). The fat is removed through incisions while lifting the sutures deck. Less invasive and can last results can be as long as a decade.
Laser surgery. Sutures to create a fold, but new lasers are used to remove excess fat, tissue and muscles. No need to cut and less bruising than with other methods.
Note If there are risks and side effects, regardless of the type of procedure you choose. These include infection, initial hematoma swelling, itching, bleary eyes and sensitivity to light. Scars may take up to six months to disappear - or more.
Why do it?
Plastic surgeons who announced the double eyelid surgery are often quick to stress that they are not helping their patients look more Caucasian, but helping them feel safer and creating a personal search for them as individuals. Above all, say the Asian approach because they want to see more "eyes bright, with eyes that appear larger.
Some plastic surgeons, a single layer, the eyes seem to be "Tense and heavy, which makes the person look bigger than they are - even if they are in their twenties. They also say that having only one eye means that once the makeup is more difficult to implement, and makes the tabs less visible.
"Many patients say a potential lid only makes them look sleepy or tired and makes your eyes look too small, "according PlasticSurgery.com, claiming that the first such operation is underway in Japan in 1896." The Most Asian patients do not want to change natural almond-shaped eyes, but like the eyelids are less complex research, have better aspect. "
People opposed to the double eyelid surgery, however, say the goal is to make ethnicity seems less obvious. "The Double eyelid surgery is unnatural and people who do buy into the myth of beauty that is not Asian, "said Martin Wong, Head of art and culture Asian Giant Robot magazine.
"It's just self-mutilation and sadness, speaking parents and their ideas. It is distressing that these girls do not have the cultural pride to be ashamed of what they are and how they look. "
Others agree. "It's clear to me that any person of color trying change their characteristics to modify the characteristics associated with a particular ethnic group is trying to change their ethnic appearance, "wrote a self-proclaimed "angry Asian American woman" in his blog called personal and political credit. "As an Asian / Asian American woman, trying to expand, eyes (if one is successful or not) is just a manifestation of racial / ethnic self-hatred. "
More Than Meets the Eye
While there is no doubt more to beauty than it seems, the number of Asian double eyelid surgery can testify that Asian blepharoplasty are here to stay. Some people still use glue or tape the lids to make a fold, but why do when the surgery is available?
"Asian blepharoplasty surgery is not Westernization, but the feminization of more than one procedure," wrote Dr. Chen AsianEyeMD.com Benson. " This also explains why some men seek the procedure to make them appear more "friendly" and may be less masculine. "Ummm, that makes sense!
If you consider yourself an Asian blepharoplasty, the choice is yours. But no matter what you choose, be sure to do your homework and use as a certified surgeon by the board, preferably one who is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) or its equivalent, who performed the procedure several times before. Hopefully, you'll to be happy with the results!
