“…It is reported that as many as 30% to 60% of the Oriental population has some form of supratarsal crease (double-fold) procedure. [2][3][4][5] There are several principal methods for double-fold operation. They are the nonincisional, semiopen, and open techniques.…”

“…Western upper eyelids usually have a distinctive eyelid fold at the level of the superior border of the tarsal plate, which is caused by the attachment of the levator aponeurosis to the pretarsal orbicularis bundles and skin (Stewart, ; Saonanon, ). Owing to the lack of any noticeable eyelid crease in the Asian population, the herniated orbital fat can extend beyond the superior border of the tarsal plate, resulting in a thickened appearance of the upper eyelids (Hiraga, ; Liu et al, ). Our present study clearly demonstrated that subcutaneous fat is an essential contributor to the full bulky appearance of Asian upper eyelids.…”

Subcutaneous Fat in the Upper Eyelids of Asians: Application to Blepharoplasty

et al. 2019

The Asian eyelid has distinctive anatomical properties. Although the upper eyelid is reported in the literature to have no subcutaneous fat layer, we have often noticed adipose tissue below the upper eyelid skin during ophthalmic plastic surgeries. The aim of the present study was to examine the anatomical and histological features of subcutaneous adipose tissue in Asian upper eyelids using biopsies and microscopic morphological analysis. A total of 30 Chinese patients (60 upper eyelids) undergoing upper blepharoplasty were evaluated. The subcutaneous fat in the upper eyelids was surgically harvested and examined histologically. This study yielded two main findings. First, upper eyelid subcutaneous fat was found in 28 of the 30 patients. This fat layer was the inferior extension of the eyebrow subcutaneous fat layer, which descended and covered the superior half of the upper eyelid. Second, the lobules of subcutaneous fat in the upper eyelid were surrounded by dense fibrous tissues, and the fat cells were smaller than abdominal adipocytes but similar in size to orbital fat cells. Subcutaneous fat tissue is prominent in the upper eyelids of most Asians and is one important contributor to the bulky appearance of those eyelids. Clin.

“…It is reported that up to 60% of East Asians have a single upper eyelid or a narrow supratarsal crease. 1 The anatomic features of the upper eyelid in East Asians include the absence of supratarsal crease, excessive adipose tissue, epicanthal fold and pretarsal skin laxity. Surgical creation of a double-eyelid crease was first described by the Japanese surgeon Mikamo who employed a suture technique in 1896, which was the time when Japan had opened its doors to trade with the West.…”

Background: Double-eyelid surgery remains a popular esthetic surgery in East Asian people. The partial-incision method provides the benefits of full-incision and nonincision techniques. It can create a predictable and durable double-eyelid crease. Aims: To create a long-lasting double-eyelid crease with a minimal scar, the author has described the modified partial incision technique with a small and minimal incision.
