Eyelid surgery is tailored to respect and enhance the ethnic characteristics of the patient’s eyes. For instance, in Asian eyelid surgery (also known as double eyelid surgery), the goal often involves creating a crease in the upper eyelid that is not naturally present, which can make the eyes appear larger and more open while preserving the natural ethnicity. On the other hand, Western eyelid surgeries often focus more on removing excess skin and fat to restore a more youthful appearance. Techniques and considerations vary significantly across ethnicities, emphasizing the importance of a surgeon's understanding of the unique anatomical differences and cultural aesthetics.
