#asian blepharoplasty

It is said that the eyes are the window to the soul. Metaphors aside, the eyes are the first thing we notice when we see a face. The eyes are two of the two most important aesthetic features of the face. The eyes and the lips are meant to be noticed. The rest of the face is merely the frame and the less distracting the better for the overall aesthetics. So, when the skin of the upper eyelids sags, or the lower eyelids get bags, it may be time to consider Blepharoplasty.

The goals of Upper Blepharoplasty are to:

Reduce Upper Eyelid Skin Redundancy Remove or Optimally Position Upper Eyelid Fat Elevate the Saggy Lacrimal Gland Improve Eyelid Symmetry Whenever Possible

The goals of Lower Blepharoplasty are to:

Reduce Lower Eyelid Bags Reduce Lower Eyelid Skin Redundancy Elevate the Saggy Lower Eyelid Improve Eyelid Tone when functionally necessary

as someone that works in the beauty field i can easily say that taylor has a lot of work done.

she had an eye surgery around 2014 or earlier to change her eye shape. if you search old photos, her eyes used to be a lot smaller and very asian like so she did a blepharoplasty combined with a eyebrow lift to open that space and make her appear wide eyed. It’s called an eyelid surgery and it’s popular in Asia.

she had multiple small nose jobs done over the years, rhinoplasty included. but it’s not too noticeable because she’s done small changes over the years so the change doesn’t look as drastic. around 2014-2017 she started with cheek implants and i believe she does them to this today. and around 2012/13 she started doing boob jobs but i can’t tell how many. however, you can tell she underwent another boob surgery before her lasted tour started by inserting boob and butt implants, or maybe the same tissue of other parts of her body were transferred to her boobs/butt to make her look natural and so weight changes don’t affect her.

I believe she had a chin surgery around 2013.

and right now, you can easily tell she’s trying to avoid a lot of aging signs so she’s been doing botox and filters for a while but lately she’s been going overboard with it and you can easily tell by her lips and cheeks. that inflammation is a sign that she’s been picking herself with botox a lot more constant than not.

I’m genuinely fascinated to see what will happen to all these influencers and celebrities who are getting constant procedures and ‘tweakments’ in the next few decades as they age.

Yes because I want to see how getting all these actually very serious changes made will affect how their faces look as they age but also because I am starting to believe that there will be some very real negative consequences when it comes to their actual health.

Someone mentioned to me that their father was an ophthalmologist who regularly performs blepharoplasty procedures (or an eye lift) on older patients whose skin sag around their eyes was interfering with their vision. This was in the context of Ariana Grande getting her, uh…..new look, a while ago (think the race change, Asian bait jokes, especially focused on the change in her eyes). Her father was horrified that someone in their late 20’s at the time would be getting this procedure.

The younger you are when you get something done, the more maintenance will need to be done throughout your life to maintain the ‘look’. So getting an eye lift so young with no real medical reason means you will have to get that procedure redone periodically to maintain it. He said the likelihood that something will become misaligned within the eye structure is high, and very possible that as they age their upper and lower eyelids will no longer align properly leading to chronic dry eye and other complications.

That’s just one procedure too. What about the 19 year olds getting ‘preventative Botox’ (do NOT do this btw), what about the overfilling of skin, what about the constant pulling and stretching of skin with brow lifts and face lifts and every other kind of lift (does it get thinner?? More fragile over time?). Whats going to be the long term health consequences of all this??

If you’re someone with knowledge about this please share with me, I’m genuinely very interested and would like to know more.

This article was first published in Russian by the Siberia-based outlet People of Baikal. The following translation appeared in The Beet, a weekly email dispatch from Meduza in English covering Central and Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, and Central Asia. Sign up here to get the next issue delivered directly to your inbox.

“Don’t close your eyes! I told you: If you close them, I’ll stop doing the operation and send you home!” the surgeon hissed. 

It was 2009, and Natalya Badmayeva was lying on an operating table at the Republican Clinical Hospital in Ulan-Ude. She tried her best to stop trembling and keep her eyes open. After the surgeon made the last stitch, she told Natalya she could get up and go home. In the corridor, other patients were waiting their turn to go under the knife. 

Natalya, then a 20-year-old lawyer, had undergone eyelid surgery on her lunch break. “The operation took place clandestinely. I actually shouldn’t have been in that operating room,” she explained. “The surgery was over in half an hour.” 

Natalya put on a pair of dark glasses and went straight from the hospital to visit a client. At the pre-trial detention center entrance, she showed the duty officer her ID. “What did you get done? Your dabharyashki?” asked the officer, nodding knowingly. 

The term dabharyashka (from the Buryat word dabharyaa, which literally means “fold”) refers to the skin fold of the upper eyelid. Apparently, the officer had seen Natalya’s stitches through her sunglasses. She was one of the first people in Buryatia to have surgery to change the shape of her eyes. Three years later, she had another operation to make them even wider. 

The names of some of the people in this story have been changed at their request.

Scalpels, needles, and glue 

Many people of Asian descent are born with monolids — an eyelid shape that doesn’t have a crease. And some people go to great lengths to create this skin fold and widen their eyes. For those who undergo plastic surgery, the operation typically involves an incision along the upper eyelid, the removal of “excess” skin and fat, and the application of sutures to create an “eye-opening” crease (also known as a “double eyelid”). 

Blepharoplasty — the medical term for eyelid surgery — is the third most common plastic surgery procedure in the world, after breast augmentation and liposuction. With nearly half a million surgical procedures annually, Russia ranks ninth globally for the total number of plastic surgeries. But for eyelid surgery, Russia is in third place, with more than 92,000 operations in 2020 alone. 

Researchers in Russia note that the further east a region is from Moscow, the more eyelid surgeries are performed there. In Ulan-Ude — the regional capital of Buryatia, with a population of just over 400,000 people — there are about 10 clinics that offer this procedure for prices ranging from 20,000 to 30,000 rubles (about $225 to $335). 

Then there are the companies that offer “medical tours” to neighboring Mongolia. These packages cover a round-trip bus ticket from Ulan-Ude to Ulaanbaatar, the operation itself, and an interpreter’s services. One popular clinic in Ulaanbaatar offered eyelid surgery for just 18,500 rubles ($210). By comparison, a local Korean clinic charged around 160,000 rubles (about $1,800). Performers, entrepreneurs, and officials who want to get their eyelids done usually travel to South Korea, where the procedure costs anywhere from $1,800 to $3,000. 

Other people try to alter their eyelids themselves — using a needle or a sharpened pencil to damage the delicate skin, hoping that the scarring will form a crease over time. Alternative, less painful methods include using eyelid glue or adhesive tape to create a “double eyelid” temporarily. 

Natalya Badmayeva’s mother, Tamara, used a sharpened pencil to break the skin along her own upper eyelids; when the scratches healed, they formed a crease. Natalya would later try to replicate this procedure herself but found it too painful. “I realized that I wouldn’t be able to ‘draw’ a deep enough cut, and so I didn’t keep doing it,” she recalled.

When Natalya was a teenager, her mother bought her eyelid glue, but Natalya found it uncomfortable to wear. “It feels heavy on your eyelid. If you use glue, you can feel how everything is being pulled together. If you use tape, it’s uncomfortable when you blink,” she said. 

Tamara, who has since passed away, never explained why she gave herself eyelid creases or wanted her daughter to have them, too. “I didn’t want to look narrow-eyed. I wanted to look wide-eyed,” Natalya said, explaining her own thinking. “In my youth, Buryats were [considered] village people. Narrow-eyed, swarthy, uneducated, Buryat-speaking — this was the image I was trying to escape. I specifically didn’t learn to speak Buryat and had my eyelids done twice.” 

‘No one told me to my face’

Several sources told People of Baikal that, as children, they dreamed of being ethnically Russian; when their family members spoke their native language, they felt embarrassed and pretended they couldn’t understand them. 

Natalya remembers encountering aggression due to her appearance when she left Buryatia for the first time at age 18. She and her friends were waiting in line at a food stand in Novosibirsk when some old ladies started harassing them. “These old ladies said, ‘Who are you? We don’t go to your country!’ and they pushed us out of the line. We told them we’re from Buryatia, which is part of Russia. We’re citizens of the Russian Federation, just like them. But the old ladies didn’t believe us,” Natalya said. 

Ivan Romanov, 38, moved from Ulan-Ude to Moscow in 2012. A dentist by training, he spent a year applying for jobs in the capital. However, he found that some dental clinics — including ones at public hospitals — would post job ads explicitly seeking “Slavic” physicians. 

Even clinics that didn’t have this requirement wouldn’t hire Ivan. Having a Russian name and surname was often enough to get him an interview, but they never called him back. All his classmates soon found jobs, but he remained unemployed. “I didn’t understand what was happening. I’d go home, cry because I felt powerless, and get angry,” Ivan recalled. “No one told me to my face that they wouldn’t hire me because I’m Buryat, but the logic was clear.” 

Ivan took screenshots of the job ads from public clinics looking to hire “Slavic” doctors and wrote a complaint to the Russian Health Ministry. In response, ministry officials told him that government institutions don’t place such ads and suggested that the postings had appeared on the website “due to a technical glitch.” (At the same time, they acknowledged that such ads are common among private clinics.)

Ivan believes his dental career didn’t take off because of his appearance. After a year of unsuccessfully trying to land a job in his field, he began working for a company in Moscow selling medical equipment. Today, he runs his own business. 

At 35, Ivan had eyelid surgery to make himself look “European.” A surgeon at a Moscow clinic reshaped his eyelids, creating creases and removing the epicanthus — a skin fold stretching from the upper eyelid, covering the eye’s inner corner. Ivan had dreamed of this since his youth.

No shortage of insults 

The discourse around Asian people’s appearance inevitably leads to a discussion about “narrow eyes,” notes Erzhen Erdeni, a Buryat anti-colonial activist and researcher from the Siberian city of Irkutsk. “The expression ‘narrow eyes’ makes my blood boil,” she said. “Asian eyes can be considered narrow only if they’re compared with European eyes, which are taken as the standard.” 

“Russian speakers have come up with no shortage of insults for Asian eyes,” added Erzhen. 

The activist still remembers the first time she was insulted over her appearance. She was seven years old and walking to school alone in Irkutsk when a group of boys started throwing rocks at her and calling her names. 

People who don’t look “European” encounter racism everywhere in Russia, Erzhen said. After she moved to Moscow to study, for example, uniformed officers stopped her every two weeks or so, asking to see her documents, fishing for bribes, and threatening to take her to the police station. “I could walk with a Slavic-looking friend, and she wouldn’t get asked any questions. But I was stopped all the time — it could happen anywhere,” said Erzhen, who now lives in Tbilisi, Georgia. “I developed a persistent fear of people in uniform that I carry with me to this day. Every time I see a man in a uniform in Russia, my heart sinks, and the anxiety kicks in.” 

According to the SOVA Center, which monitors extremism and hate crimes in Russia, there was a spike in racially motivated attacks in 2023. Researchers recorded at least 60 violent acts last year — up from nine in 2022. In at least 21 of these cases, the attackers targeted people whom they perceived as “Asian.” 

SOVA Center director Alexander Verkhovsky said that while anyone who “looks different” can fall victim to a hate crime in Russia, people of “conventionally Asian appearance” are targeted most often. This includes not only Central Asians but also people indigenous to Russia, such as Buryats, Tyvans, and Kalmyks. “The attacker isn’t asking to see a passport; he’s looking at facial features,” Verkhovsky underscored.  

“If you’re a person of ‘non-Slavic’ appearance in any public place [...] you always have to be on guard. An insult could come your way at any moment,” said Buryat journalist Aleksandra Garmazhapova. “Any old conflict could end with the phrase: ‘Go back to China!’” 

Garmazhapova moved to St. Petersburg with her family at age six. She got involved in political activism in 2005 after far-right extremists murdered 20-year-old anti-fascist activist Timur Kacharava in the city center. She left Russia eight years ago and now heads the Free Buryatia Foundation. 

The Sova Center’s researchers attribute the surge in racially motivated violence in 2023 to Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine. “War inevitably brings about an increase in aggression in society. Legitimizing aggression is a side effect of war,” Verkhovsky explained. 

‘Why am I hurting myself a second time?’

Valentina Radnayeva, the head of the ophthalmology department at the Children’s Hospital in Ulan-Ude, said that people of all ages come in for eyelid surgery. It’s the most common cosmetic procedure in Buryatia, and the hospital accepts not only locals but also patients from Tyva, Khakassia, Altai, and other republics across Russia. “For young people, we don’t remove skin [from the upper eyelid]; we just form a fold. And it turns out beautifully!” the surgeon said with a smile. 

Enkhmaa, a surgeon at a clinic in Ulaanbaatar that patients on medical tours from Ulan-Ude often visit, claimed that eyelid surgery makes people “more beautiful” and more self-confident. She operates on patients 12 and up, so long as minors have parental consent. According to Enkhmaa, there hasn’t been a single case in her 20 years of experience where a patient regretted making their eyes wider (she said that the most common complaints have to do with side effects.) “This surgery changes people’s lives for the better,” the surgeon maintained. 

Natalya, the lawyer from Ulan-Ude, said that she also wanted to have “beautiful” eyes — and that’s why she opted for a second surgery. “I wasn’t satisfied with the results of the first operation. The shape of my eyes looked too natural. I wanted to see a difference. I wanted my eyes to be wider,” she explained. 

Natalya’s first surgery, at the Republican Hospital in 2009, took place without a consultation and only cost three or four thousand rubles. For her second surgery, she saved up about 20,000 rubles and went to a private clinic. But somehow, she found it scarier. “I remember lying on the operating table and saying to myself, ‘Stupid me! Why am I hurting myself a second time?’ The doctor was polite, he explained everything, there was good anesthetic, but it was still unpleasant,” she recalled.

After the operation, Natalya remained under observation at the clinic for 30 or 40 minutes. Then, her brother picked her up and took her home. She was on maternity leave at the time, so she didn’t have to go back to work. Natalya says the bruises and swelling from the second surgery went away after a few weeks — but to this day, she remains sensitive to bright light. 

“My friends don’t see a big difference between how I looked before and after the operation. But I think that I’ve changed,” Natalya said. “It’s possible that this is how I feel on the inside. I’ve lived with my eyelid folds longer than I lived without them. I’m more comfortable this way.”

Ivan, the dentist, paid 85,000 rubles (more than $950) to go under the knife in Moscow in 2020. “I was conscious, under local anesthesia, and I heard everything the doctor said. He explained what was happening in detail and commented, ‘You were right to get the surgery. You have a large accumulation of fat, and it weighs down your eyelids. It makes you seem sad. We’re going to correct it now, and you’ll look just great!’”

However, Ivan wasn’t happy with the end result. “I went through every circle of hell. It took a long time for everything to heal. I spent a lot of money to remove the scars left over from the stitches. Moreover, the surgeon didn’t stitch the skin of the upper eyelid on one eye properly,” he complained. “My life didn’t change at all. People who know me well noticed that something was different, but it’s usually difficult for them to say what exactly.” 

‘At least you can influence how you look’

Anna Tsyrenova, a 38-year-oldfrom Ulan-Ude, was surprised when she recently learned that all her friends her own age had undergone eyelid surgery by the time they were 20. “Many people hide the fact that they’ve had this surgery. It’s such a sensitive topic that even friends don’t want to talk about it,” she said. “When I finally started asking around, they said they had their eyelids done to look more kempt.”

Anna says it never occurred to her to have eyelid surgery. And she rejects the notion that she has experienced discrimination in Russia — even though she’s been mistaken for a tourist, told that she “speaks Russian well,” and stopped by police officers in Moscow and St. Petersburg. “I don’t judge people who’ve gone to the plastic surgeon and made their eyes wider. I just don’t understand them,” she said.

According to social scientist Maria Vyatchina, plastic surgery can give patients a sense of control over their own lives — even when they feel powerless to influence the world around them. “There are things you cannot change, but you can at least influence how you look. This gives you a sense of agency,” she explained. 

The development of new medical technologies is another powerful driver behind the popularity of plastic surgery, making it less risky, less painful, and cheaper. Indeed, certain surgeries are becoming more accessible and even “fashionable,” with trends transcending borders. For example, the eyelid surgery industry in Russia and Mongolia is heavily influenced by South Korea, which, in turn, is largely guided by standards adopted in Japan. 

Vyatchina also pointed to the work of anthropologists Sara Lenehan and Carmen Alvaro Jarrín, who found that the popularity of “nose jobs” in Iran and Brazil reflects shifts in how people signal their wealth and aspirations of upward mobility. The same is true in Russia, where poverty, a lack of social mobility, and patriarchal norms make one’s appearance a type of social currency. 

In this context, what eye shape is considered “beautiful” is directly related to popular attitudes. But, as Vyatchina underscored, beauty standards are far from neutral or implicit — on the contrary, they’re politically charged. “Racism and xenophobia take different forms, including defining dominant beauty standards that leave no room for acceptance and discussing diversity,” she said. “There is so much racism in Russian society.” 

‘Don’t become the dragon’

In the spring of 2022, Free Buryatia Foundation president Aleksandra Garmazhapova launched a campaign for the “Denazification of Russia.” On Instagram, she asked her followers to share stories of their encounters with racism and xenophobia. Over the next three weeks, she received some 4,000 testimonies. 

The responses show that even indigenous people who resemble ethnic Russians — including Udmurt, Chuvash, and other peoples — have to contend with racism in Russia. People recounted how, from childhood, they were censured for speaking their native language. One person said he had internalized the idea that it was “shameful” to be Mari. The campaign received countless emotional accounts: many people had never had the opportunity to talk openly about racism, while others had previously failed to recognize that what they experienced constitutes discrimination. 

The Russian language often lacks the terminology for discussions about racism and xenophobia. During her interview, Garmazhapova drew attention to how she sometimes slipped into using “not just literal translations but English terms.” Yet, Vyatchina says it’s still important to use these words, even if they seem complex or incomprehensible. Researchers believe that terms more suitable to Russian realities will emerge when Russian society begins to discuss racism actively. 

At the same time, Garmazhapova warned against going to rhetorical extremes, which she believes are just as harmful as not discussing racism at all. “The media, activists, and everyone else must work to avoid becoming xenophobes like Vladimir Putin. When fighting a dragon, you cannot become that same dragon yourself,” she said. “We must make every effort to fight narratives of hatred, racism, and xenophobia and not to end up producing the same ideas, just in a different sauce.” 

Now a mother of two, Natalya says she fears for her son and daughter because they are Buryat and feels the need to protect them from harmful stereotypes. “I understand the attitude the world has developed towards Buryats. The word ‘Buryat’ has become a symbol of savagery and cruelty. People need someone to hate, to take out their anger on. It will be difficult to rehabilitate this general perception and attitude,” she said. 

Natalya remembers how her own mother cared for her, buying her eyelid glue and encouraging her to get “folds.” Assuming her children would share her own insecurities, she tried to take the same approach with them. “I thought, Why don’t I tape my six-year-old daughter’s [eyelids],” Natalya said. “Thank God my child has a brain! She ran around a little and then took off the strips [of tape] I had stuck on her. She thinks she’s beautiful the way she is. She has insecurities, but they have nothing to do with the shape of her eyes.”

Double Eyelid Surgery: Enhancing Natural Beauty

Double eyelid surgery, also known as Asian blepharoplasty, is a popular cosmetic procedure that creates a visible crease in the upper eyelid. For individuals with monolids or poorly defined creases, this surgery offers a way to enhance the natural beauty of the eyes, making them appear larger, more symmetrical, and more vibrant. Here’s everything you need to know about double eyelid surgery.

What is Double Eyelid Surgery?

Double eyelid surgery is a specialized type of blepharoplasty aimed at creating a defined crease in the upper eyelid. This procedure is commonly sought by individuals with monolids (eyelids without a crease) or those who want to enhance an existing but less prominent crease. The results are subtle yet transformative, offering a refreshed and youthful appearance.

Benefits of Double Eyelid Surgery

Enhanced Eye Appearance: Creates a more open, defined, and symmetrical look.

Improved Confidence: Boosts self-esteem by enhancing natural beauty.

Natural Results: Maintains the unique features of the individual while refining the eyelids.

Customizable Options: Tailored to suit each person’s preferences and anatomy.

Techniques for Double Eyelid Surgery

Incisional Method

Ideal for individuals with thicker skin or excess fat in the eyelids.

A small incision is made to create the crease, and excess skin or fat is removed if necessary.

Results are long-lasting and precise.

Non-Incisional (Suture) Method

Best for individuals with thinner skin and no excess fat.

Sutures are used to create the crease without making an incision.

This technique has a shorter recovery time but may not be as permanent as the incisional method.

Double eyelid surgery is suitable for those who:

Have monolids or faint upper eyelid creases.

Want to enhance their eyelid definition while maintaining a natural look.

Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations.

Wish to reduce puffiness or sagging in the eyelid area.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Consultation

Your surgeon will assess your eyelid anatomy, discuss your goals, and recommend the best technique for your desired outcome.

Surgery

Performed under local anesthesia with sedation, the procedure takes about 1-2 hours.

The surgeon carefully creates or enhances the crease based on your preferences.

Recovery

Initial swelling and bruising are common but subside within 1-2 weeks.

Most patients can resume normal activities within 7-10 days, with full results visible after a few months.

Risks and Considerations

As with any surgery, double eyelid surgery carries potential risks, including:

Swelling and bruising

Temporary dryness or irritation of the eyes

Asymmetry or uneven results

Rare cases of infection or scarring

Choosing an experienced and qualified surgeon can minimize these risks.

Why Choose Double Eyelid Surgery?

For many individuals, double eyelid surgery is more than just a cosmetic enhancement—it’s a way to boost confidence and achieve a desired look while maintaining cultural and personal identity. The procedure is highly customizable, ensuring results that complement your natural features.

Choosing the Right Surgeon

Selecting a skilled and experienced surgeon is crucial for achieving the best results. Look for:

Board Certification: Ensure your surgeon is certified and specializes in eyelid procedures.

Experience: Ask about their experience with double eyelid surgery.

Patient Reviews: Read testimonials and view before-and-after photos to understand their work.

Conclusion

Double eyelid surgery is a safe and effective way to enhance the natural beauty of the eyes while maintaining harmony with your unique features. Whether you’re seeking a more defined crease or a refreshed appearance, this procedure offers long-lasting, natural results tailored to your preferences.

If you’re considering double eyelid surgery, schedule a consultation with a trusted cosmetic surgeon to explore your options. With the right care and expertise, you can achieve a look that boosts your confidence and highlights your natural beauty.

The Different Types of Blepharoplasty Surgery

Blepharoplasty surgery, commonly referred to as eyelid surgery, is a popular procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the eyelids or correct functional issues that may arise due to aging, genetics, or other factors. While many people are familiar with the general concept of blepharoplasty, fewer are aware that there are different types of this surgery, each tailored to address specific concerns. This article will explore the various types of blepharoplasty surgery available and help you understand which one might be right for you.

1. Upper Blepharoplasty

Upper blepharoplasty is the most common form of eyelid surgery. It focuses on the upper eyelids and is primarily performed to remove excess skin that may be drooping over the eyes. This drooping can cause a tired appearance and, in some cases, impair vision. The procedure involves making an incision along the natural crease of the upper eyelid, removing excess skin, and sometimes adjusting the underlying muscle and fat.

This type of blepharoplasty is particularly beneficial for individuals who experience hooded eyelids or have difficulty applying makeup due to excess skin. It's also the go-to option for those experiencing vision impairment due to sagging upper eyelids.

2. Lower Blepharoplasty

Lower blepharoplasty targets the lower eyelids and is typically performed to reduce puffiness, bags, and sagging skin beneath the eyes. This procedure is often sought by those who feel that under-eye bags make them look tired or older than they feel. The surgeon will make an incision either just below the lower lash line or inside the lower eyelid, through which excess fat, skin, or muscle is removed or repositioned.

Lower blepharoplasty can be a standalone procedure or combined with upper blepharoplasty for a more comprehensive rejuvenation of the eye area.

3. Double Eyelid Surgery (Asian Blepharoplasty)

Double eyelid surgery, also known as Asian blepharoplasty, is a specialized form of blepharoplasty that creates a crease in the upper eyelid. This procedure is particularly popular among individuals of East Asian descent who naturally lack a visible upper eyelid crease. The surgery aims to create a more defined eyelid fold, enhancing the overall appearance of the eyes.

Unlike traditional blepharoplasty, which primarily focuses on removing excess skin, double eyelid surgery is more about reshaping the eyelid to create a desired aesthetic effect.

4. Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty

Transconjunctival blepharoplasty is a less invasive form of lower eyelid surgery. It involves making an incision inside the lower eyelid, allowing the surgeon to remove or reposition fat without leaving any visible external scars. This technique is ideal for patients who need to address under-eye bags but do not have significant excess skin.

Because transconjunctival blepharoplasty avoids external incisions, it is a popular choice for those concerned about scarring or seeking a quicker recovery time.

Choosing the Right Blepharoplasty Surgeon in Delhi

Selecting a skilled blepharoplasty surgeon in Delhi is crucial for achieving the desired results. The right surgeon will assess your unique needs and recommend the most appropriate type of blepharoplasty. They will also provide a clear understanding of the procedure, recovery time, and potential risks.

Understanding Blepharoplasty Surgery Costs in Delhi

The blepharoplasty surgery cost in Delhi can vary based on the type of procedure, the surgeon's expertise, and the complexity of the surgery. On average, the cost ranges from INR 70,000 to INR 1,50,000. It's essential to discuss all aspects of the cost with your surgeon, including what is included in the fee and any additional expenses.

Conclusion

Blepharoplasty surgery offers several options to address both cosmetic and functional concerns. Whether you're considering upper blepharoplasty to correct droopy eyelids, lower blepharoplasty to reduce under-eye bags, or a more specialized procedure like double eyelid surgery, it's important to consult with a qualified blepharoplasty surgeon in Delhi. Understanding the different types of blepharoplasty and the associated blepharoplasty surgery cost in Delhi will help you make an informed decision and achieve the best possible outcome for your needs.

Exploring Different Types of Eyelid Surgery in Singapore

Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a popular cosmetic procedure aimed at enhancing the appearance of the eyelids. In Singapore, a country renowned for its advanced medical facilities, various types of eyelid surgery are performed by different plastic surgery clinics to address specific concerns and achieve desired outcomes. This article delves into the different types of eyelid surgery available in Singapore, providing valuable insights for those considering this transformative procedure.

Upper Eyelid Surgery

Upper eyelid surgery focuses on rejuvenating the upper eyelids by removing excess skin and fat, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed appearance. This procedure not only enhances aesthetics but also improves vision obstructed by drooping eyelids. In Singapore, highly skilled plastic surgeons employ advanced techniques such as the incisional or non-incisional method to tailor the procedure to each patient's needs.

Lower Eyelid Surgery

Lower eyelid surgery targets concerns such as under-eye bags, puffiness, and wrinkles. By carefully removing or repositioning excess fat or tissue, this procedure can create a smoother, more rejuvenated lower eyelid contour. In Singapore, experienced surgeons employ innovative techniques like transconjunctival blepharoplasty or the traditional incision method to restore youthfulness and improve facial harmony.

Double Eyelid Surgery

Double eyelid surgery in Singapore, also known as Asian blepharoplasty, is highly sought after in Singapore, reflecting cultural preferences for a defined upper eyelid crease. This procedure involves creating or enhancing the double eyelid fold to accentuate the eyes' beauty and create a brighter, more expressive appearance. Skilled surgeons in Singapore offer several techniques, including the incisional or non-incisional method, to meet individual patient preferences.

Canthoplasty

Canthoplasty is a specialized eyelid surgery that focuses on correcting eyelid laxity or malposition. This procedure involves modifying the outer corner of the eyes to achieve a more desirable shape and position. In Singapore, canthoplasty is performed by experienced plastic surgeons who meticulously tailor the technique to each patient's specific needs, ensuring optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes.

Combined Upper and Lower Eyelid Surgery

For individuals desiring comprehensive rejuvenation of the entire eye area, combined upper and lower eyelid surgery offers a holistic approach. This procedure addresses both the upper and lower eyelids, effectively reducing sagging, puffiness, and wrinkles for a more harmonious and youthful appearance. In Singapore, skilled surgeons perform this comprehensive surgery with precision, ensuring natural-looking results and minimizing downtime.

Take-away

As demand for eyelid surgery continues to rise in Singapore, it is important for individuals considering such procedures to be aware of the different types available. Whether it be upper eyelid surgery, lower eyelid surgery, double eyelid surgery, canthoplasty, or a combination thereof, Singapore offers a wealth of talent and expertise within its medical community. To achieve optimal outcomes, it is crucial to consult with a qualified plastic surgeon who can tailor the procedure to your unique needs, ensuring safe and satisfying results.

Week 8: Body Modification on Visual Social Media

Hello! It’s been a while, I hope everyone is doing well. Welcome back to my blog~  

Before I start, has anyone ever experienced comparing our looks with influencers/celebrities on the Internet? Well, I’m sure the majority of us have gone through this stage, especially during puberty. Sad to say that I, myself have gone through it too. However, I walked out of that stage! With this being said, I would like to dive into body modification on visual social media in this blog.

As we all know, social media users like to present their best side and will go to any length to appear as the most flawless version of themselves in order to meet social media standards (Linton 2023). Body changes have been increasingly severe throughout time, and they may now be affecting younger generations. It all began with influencers and celebrities undergoing cosmetic surgeries such as the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) and rhinoplasty. 'What is BBL?' you might wonder. It is a surgical treatment in which fat is extracted from the stomach or back and injected into a woman's buttocks to achieve a larger, more shapely behind and a smaller waist (Greenwood 2021).

BBL is more commonly found and done in the West because Westerners’ body standards lean towards the wider aspects. As for Asians, they focus more on facial surgeries rather than body surgeries. For example, South Korea has been famous for getting rhinoplasty (nose job), liposuction and blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) for almost a decade and people would travel all the way there just to undergo the procedure (Peterson 2023). 

However, other than plastic surgery, there are various ways to showcase your good qualities on the Internet. There have been an increasing number of editing tools that allow people to transform their appearance into a completely different person. Individuals who solely care about how they appear on social media might choose to edit because it is free and takes only a few minutes. Meanwhile, people with a strong desire to modify their appearance in real life and in the long run will choose cosmetic surgery to boost their confidence and self-esteem.

The widespread acceptance of body modification has made people so insecure about their natural appearances that they strive to transform themselves into what is deemed as 'perfection' on social media. Despite this, I feel that as social media users, we must remember and be mindful that nearly anything posted online is false and never represents reality. What we see on social media reflects only a fraction of a person's life. We should never compare ourselves to others, especially strangers, because we do not know their entire story. In contrast, we should begin to prioritise our well-being and seek out things that bring us happiness and positivity rather than pessimism (How to Cope if Social Media Affects Your Body Image 2023). 

As the saying goes, “Everyone has imperfections and insecurities, that is what makes us humans!”. With this blog, I hope people will start to appreciate their natural beauty and accept themselves for who they are. If you are still reading, thank you for scrolling all the way here. I will see you in my next blog, byebye!

What is Double Eyelid ?

Twofold eyelid medical procedure is a restorative system to treat monolid — a condition where there's no regular crease in the upper eyelid between the eyelashes and the eyebrow. By making a wrinkle (or overlay) in the upper top, the medical procedure expands the space between the upper and lower covers, causing the eyes to seem bigger.

Monolids will quite often be more normal in Asian people group. Certain individuals with monolids look for twofold eyelid medical procedure to make a more "Westernized" eye appearance, which can be questionable — many individuals firmly go against the strategy.

Knowing how the system functions — as well as the dangers and choices — is a significant initial phase in choosing if twofold eyelid medical procedure is appropriate for you.

Monolid Versus Twofold Eyelid The principal contrast between a monolid and a twofold eyelid is restorative — that is, it commonly doesn't influence eye wellbeing or vision.

A great many people with monolids who decide to get twofold eyelid medical procedure do in light of the fact that they favor the vibe of a twofold eyelid. Also read double eyelid surgery malaysia.

Twofold eyelid medical procedure isn't completely surface level all the time. At times, individuals getting twofold eyelid medical procedure may likewise need to address an underlying issue, like a saggy eyelid (ptosis) or internal developing eyelashes (trichiasis), that can cause eye bothering or make it more hard to wear contact focal points.

Likewise, not every person has either single or twofold eyelids. Certain individuals have eyes that "in the middle between," with an extremely slight wrinkle that is not exceptionally conspicuous. In those cases, it is feasible to get a medical procedure to make a more clear eyelid wrinkle.

Twofold eyelid medical procedure versus blepharoplasty Twofold eyelid medical procedure — now and again called Asian eyelid medical procedure or Asian twofold eyelid medical procedure — is one sort of blepharoplasty ("BLEH-fuh-line plas-tee"), which is the clinical term for eyelid medical procedure.

Twofold eyelid medical procedure regularly includes just the upper top and is performed for at least one of the accompanying reasons:

Make the presence of a wrinkle over the eye

Change the eye to a greater amount of an "almond" shape

Cause the eye to seem bigger

Decline eye puffiness by eliminating fat around the eye

Fix a useful issue with the eye, like an overabundance skin that hangs over the eye, or an eyelid position that makes the eyelashes brush against and bother the eye (trichiasis).

Each case is unique, and your corrective eye specialist will make an arrangement in light of your objectives.

The anon hate made me think a lot since yesterday.

Are we consuming too much Korean content and unconsciously becoming one with the Korean identity? Like I can’t remember last time I had any interest outside the kpop world and it’s creeping me out. Also as a white people we definitely must be crossing a lot of lines.

I’m sure if kpop was an industry by black people or even middle eastern, the love and adoration for the artists wouldn’t be this much.

We think of them as these cute angels that can do no wrong, because ultimately that’s how we view Asians, as kind and polite populations. We wanna protect them, coddle them… just infantilization from all angels. While other POC are the aggressive ones, the not visually appealing and uncivilized ones. You can’t deny there isn’t double standards.

So while I agree that anon was a raging racist bitch, but some of what they said about the worlds view of kpop idols… are ultimately truth.

I feel horrible now and I’ll definitely try to distance myself from this industry.

Anon I'm glad you're able to step away from it since you clearly need to at this point. Korean entertainment and especially k-pop do create an eco-system where most of your emotional needs can be met: music, tv-shows, gossip, sexual attraction, shopping addiction, community, hatred for a common enemy with that community, you name it. It's understandable you might get caught up in that

I don't think white people "unconsciously become one with the korean identity", I think they (I'd hope to humor the idea that I personally don't) treat korean culture and mentality as theatrical decorations that exist for their pleasure. Korean language is there to mistify idols, aegyo is there to mock and act morally superior about, the suffocating work culture is there to make up trauma porn etc etc etc. That's partially why the infantilization is so rampant — if koreans aren't real people to you, why wouldn't you treat them as fictional characters? And who cares if a fictional character is racist if they're hot

Plus with all the colorism, blepharoplasty and new high nose bridges it's very easy to pretend idols are white enough you can't be racist to them

I responded to the hate asks a little too seriously, and while I meant most of what I said, I did end up sounding kinda smug with my wording.

Kpop hammers in the numbness that I try to avoid. When I start to ignore bigotry because I think it's entirely outside of my control I become complacent. If you actively push against bigotry you might actually feel less helpless and lost than when you're acting as if it's none of your business
