Asian blepharoplasty
The anatomy of the Asian eyelid is different from the anatomy of the Caucasian lid. One important difference is that the tissue layers fuse at a lower point in the Asian lid  than in the Caucasian lid. This often results in a fuller appearance to the Asian upper lid, with the eyelid crease being lower or not present at all (sometimes termed a "single eyelid").  Check out an informative web site on this subject.



Dr. Hawes has had considerable experience performing blepharoplasty surgery on Asians. Below is a photograph of a patient he operated seen pre-op in the first photo and post-op in the lower photo.
