Types of Europeanization century



The Europeanisation of the eyelids is a popular procedure in people with an eastern eye slit.

In particular, this is the most popular plastic surgery among residents of Yakutsk.

Since many Asians have single eyelids or very small double eyelids (skin fold in the upper eyelid) and a shallow orbit, their eyes look small, tired, sleepy, and sometimes cruel.

There are three main types of Europeanization of the century:

1. Epicantoplasty (surgery of the inner corner of the eyelid) - removal or mitigation of the epicanthus. This is a small fold of skin (it is also called the Mongol fold for the prevalence of the Mongoloid race among people), located between the inner angle of the eye and the nose. It does not affect eye or tear function. After surgery, the eyelid may look longer, and the eye will appear wider. Epicantoplasty should be treated very carefully, because the inner eyelid is one of the most sensitive parts of the eyes. Ideal candidates for epikantoplasty are people with a cut of eyes of the Mongoloid type, who have a large distance between the eyes or small eyes. The operation takes, on average, 30 minutes.
2. Oriental blepharoplasty is the medical term for plastic surgery on the upper and lower eyelids. The purpose of this operation is to create a crease on the upper eyelid using various methods. When creating a natural-looking double age, the surgeon must take into account such factors as the patient's age and gender. Candidates for Asian blepharoplasty: those who want to have a more pronounced crease in the eyelid, people with hung upper or lower eyelids, people with fatty bags in the eyelids. It is important to understand that age can be a factor on which the surgical method depends. For example, a 60-year-old woman is likely to need a different type of operation, compared to a 30-year-old man. The operation takes up to an hour, and after it a small scar may remain.
3. Non-surgical Europeanization of the eyelids by flashing with special threads. This method gives a temporary effect. It is recommended for those who have thin eyelid skin, a small amount of fat over the eyelids and stretched eyelid skin. Although the non-surgical approach to Europeanization of the century is still popular in some parts of Japan due to its fast implementation, short recovery time, and low cost, the stitching method has not taken root in most Asian or Western countries.

The price of Oriental blepharoplasty in Moscow, Rostov-on-Don, Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, Tyumen, Angarsk, Ulan-Ude and other large Russian cities ranges from 50 to 80 thousand rubles. The cost of epikantoplasty - from 20,000 to 50,000 rubles.

In clinics in Almaty, Bishkek and other major cities of Kazakhstan, the price of Oriental blepharoplasty is 205,000 tenge and higher. The cost of epikantoplasty is from 130,000 tenge.



How to prepare for the operation on the eyelids of the Asian eyes: how the plastic of the Asian eyelids is done

As in the case of the plastic contour of the lips and most other cosmetic operations, the plastic of the Asian eyelids is possible if the patient is in good health. It is important that he has normal blood pressure, and he did not take drugs or dietary supplements that thin the blood.

Before surgery, you need to consult a plastic surgeon, an ophthalmologist and a therapist, as well as providing the results of a general blood test, blood clotting and blood for RW. Depending on the patient's health condition, other tests may be prescribed.

During communication with the plastic surgeon, various factors will be evaluated, including:

• skin thickness and condition;
• the amount of fat under the skin;
• the presence of past cosmetic procedures;
• unique anatomy around the eyes;
• the patient's age;
• sex of the patient.

How is the operation done on the eyelids of the Asian eyes (blepharoplasty)?

Surgical procedure aimed at changing the shape of the upper eyelid. Depending on the amount of extra fat and skin under the upper eyelid, the doctor will choose a non-incisional, partially incisional or incisional method.

• From a technical point of view, the non-incisional method is related to surgery, but instead of making an incision and removing the skin from the upper eyelid, the doctor makes 3-5 small holes in the superficial and deep tissues of the upper eyelid. A suture thread passes through them. A crease is always present (static crease), regardless of whether the eyes are open or closed. There are no scars after such a procedure, recovery takes place in 2 days.
• With the partially incisional method of plastics of the Asian eyelids, a small incision is made to remove the fat, and the fold is made with the help of a thread. At the same time, a scar is almost invisible, and recovery takes up to 5 days.
• With the incisional version , a full incision is made in the eyelid, excess fat is removed and the surgeon manipulates the eyelid tissues to create a beautiful fold. Recovery takes 1-2 weeks.

The first two procedures are done under local anesthesia with sedation. The incision procedure is performed under both local and general anesthesia. During epicantoplasty, the eyelid fold is formed at a distance of 6 to 10 mm from the ciliary edge of the eyelid. The surgeon makes an incision in place of the fold, removes a narrow strip of muscle, excess fatty tissue and a small strip of excess skin.

Asian eyes blepharoplasty - contraindications and post-operative care

Contraindications to blepharoplasty Asian eyes:

• diabetes and other endocrine diseases;
• problems with blood clotting;
• increased eye pressure;
• severe somatic diseases.

The first day after the incisional blepharoplasty of the Asian eyes, the patient is in the hospital.

• Three days after the operation, antibacterial drops are instilled into the eyes and cold compresses are applied to the eyelid.
• Women after blepharoplasty Asian century two weeks can not paint the eyes, apply mascara on the eyelashes and wear contact lenses.
• Sunglasses should be worn for the same amount of time.

Is the eastern eyelid plastic result always good?

Eyelids without double folds and epicanthus are not unique to East Asian people and can be found in other ethnic groups, such as the indigenous people of North and South America.

Moreover, for many people of Asian descent, the "characteristic" East Asian features are dimly expressed, especially in the eye area.

In other words, the plastic of the eastern eyelids will be individual for each person.

• Many plastic surgeons consider the plastic of the eastern eyelids the least simple of all cosmetic procedures. Its results can vary greatly depending on the level of skill and the doctor’s experience and the patient’s physical limitations, such as skin thickness, wrong eyelash growth direction, eye asymmetry, etc.
• Incomplete patient satisfaction with the end result is a result of difficulties in performing the operation, as well as, often, unrealistic expectations from the procedure. The effect of the operation may disappear after 7-8 years, and then a second operation will be required.
• While serious complications of eastern eyelid plastics, such as infections, visible scars, permanent tearing, lower eyelid reversal, and loss of vision, are very rare, all types of surgery to create a double eyelid can create aesthetic problems, such as an unnatural appearance. eye or double fold too high.
