Anatomical Nuances and Surgical Finesse in Asian Upper Blepharoplasty

Kyung In Woo Speaker Anatomical Nuances and Surgical Finesse in Asian Upper BlepharoplastyAsian upper blepharoplasty, in our experience, benefits significantly from a profound understanding of the unique anatomical characteristics that distinctly differ from those of Caucasian eyelids. This lecture will focus on the subtle anatomical variations in the Asian eyelid, emphasizing the critical role of meticulous preoperative analysis and planning in achieving successful and natural-looking results. We will delve into key anatomical elements, including hidden ptosis, variations in eyelid heaviness, and epicanthus. Throughout this presentation, we aim to explore various surgical techniques specifically designed to meet the aesthetic expectations of Asian patients while maintaining functional stability. Furthermore, we will share some refined surgical finesse and considerations aimed at minimizing complications and maximizing natural outcomes. We will also share the practical strategies and techniques for addressing complications that can result from blepharoplasty. This lecture is designed to provide insights for ophthalmologists seeking to enhance their anatomical knowledge and surgical proficiency in Asian upper blepharoplasty.
