AI Article Synopsis
- The Asian eyelid has unique anatomical characteristics that set it apart from the Caucasian eyelid, influencing surgical techniques and patient outcomes.
- In younger patients, Asian blepharoplasty aims to enhance ethnic features, particularly by creating a supratarsal fold, commonly known as the "double eyelid."
- For aging patients, it is important to consider issues like excess skin, drooping eyelids, and brow sagging, with specific techniques like infrabrow excision providing both functional and aesthetic improvements.
Article Abstract
The Asian eyelid has distinct anatomic features that distinguish it from the Caucasian eyelid. These anatomic features are responsible for the ethnic identity of the Asian eyelid and guide operative technique and intervention. In the younger patient, the goal of Asian blepharoplasty often centers on the enhancement of the ethnic eye features and the creation of the supratarsal fold often referred to as the "double eyelid." In the aging Asian eyelid, considerations should be made to evaluate and address dermatochalasis, blepharoptosis, and brow ptosis. In patients with significant lateral brow ptosis and lateral hooding, the infrabrow excision blepharoplasty technique may provide an additional functional and esthetic benefit.

Article Synopsis
- Tarsal heights in Asian eyelids were found to be higher than previously reported, which may clarify issues with traditional double eyelid surgery methods.
- A novel 'MAP method' for creating double eyelid creases was developed, involving specific suturing techniques that preserve important eyelid tissue and provide adjustable crease heights based on individual patient preferences.
- This new technique offers better eyelid mechanics, a quicker recovery process, and longer-lasting results with minimal complications compared to classic procedures.
Recommendations on Ultrasound-Guided Hyaluronic Acid Soft Tissue Augmentation of the Upper Face in Asians.

Modified Infrabrow Blepharoplasty for Periorbital Rejuvenation in Asia Women.
J Craniofac Surg
December 2024
Department of Plastic Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou.
Objective: The infrabrow blepharoplasty is a common surgical operation indicated in Asians for periorbital rejuvenation. This operation alone is difficult to achieve the correction of crow's feet. Therefore, the authors elucidate the authors' experiences of applying infrabrow blepharoplasty combined with the subcutaneous undermining of the lateral periorbital region to treat upper eyelid dermatochalasis with lateral hooding deformity and alleviate crow's feet, including its indications, operative procedures, and postoperative outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the prenatal and postnatal features, along with genetic traits, of Lymphedema-Distichiasis syndrome (LDS) in two Chinese families with FOXC2 gene mutations.
- - Genetic analysis revealed pathogenic variants in the FOXC2 gene for both families, with literature review yielding a total of 117 identified LDS patients, including prenatal signs in 13 cases and postnatal manifestations in 110.
- - Key prenatal symptoms of LDS include increased nuchal translucency and fetal edema, while postnatal symptoms commonly feature distichiasis and lymphedema, with only a few cases exhibiting signs before and after birth.
