Older asian woman without natural eyelid crease complaining about saggy eyelid skin both upper and lower. An upper Asian eyelid blepharoplasty was performed to create a crease and remove excess skin. Laser Fractionated CO2 was used for her lower eyelids to tighten up the skin.
Young Asian female who desired creation of an eyelid fold (Asian blepharoplasty). Because of her age and amount of excess skin, "suture technique" would not have given her a lasting, satisfactory result. Instead, an "open incison technique" with anchoring stitches was performed.
Older Asian patient who had eyelid surgery elsewhere that damaged her right upper eyelid causing it to droop (ptosis). She also had over aggressive removal of fat that caused her to look "hollowed" or "skeletonized". This over aggressive removal of fat also causes multiple eyelid folds to occur (as you can see).

This patient had a prior double eyelid surgery in Japan in her 20's. She came in for a consultation for double eyelid surgery and lower eyelid surgery. She wanted a nasally tapered crease, narrow width. She also wanted her lower eyebags corrected, which was performed transconjunctivally with an arcus marginalis release (no external incision, incision on the inside of the lower eyelid to remove some fat, please contact me if you want further explanation of an arcus marginalis release.)
