The popularity of cosmetic treatments among Asians is evident in the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons estimate that Asians last year had such procedures at a rate of 5.5 treatments for every 100 people<\/strong>. In comparison, the rate for Latinos was 3.2 per 100 and for blacks was 2.5 per 100. The rate for whites was lower than the Asian figure, at 4.4 procedures for 100 people.<\/p>\n

The ranking of the three ethnic groups mirrors the findings of the AACS survey, which asked respondents, “Is cosmetic surgery popular among members of the same racial\/ethnic background as yourself?”<\/strong> Yes, said 31 percent of Asians, 27 percent of Latinos and 19 percent of blacks.<\/p>\n

The ASPS survey concluded that cosmetic medicine is gaining popularity among Latinos, but not among Asians. For more on that survey, see the blog post “Latinos loving plastic surgery, Asians not.”

\nAmong Asians<\/strong>, the AACS says facelifts are most popular. No, it’s nose jobs, says the ASPS. Both surveys agree that eyelid surgery is also popular among Asians.<\/p>\n

Besides the more general face lift<\/a>, any individual of Asian descent are choosing to have cosmetic plastic surgery on their eyes for aesthetic reasons. Both men and women are electing to have upper eyelid creases and more defined eyes to enhance their unique eyes. Because the eyes of Asians are small, Asian eye surgery can recreate them into bigger, fuller eyes. With the rise in Asian children being adopted by American adults, some of these new parents are choosing to arrange for their adopted Asian children to have Asian eye surgery.<\/strong> This plastic surgery removes the Asian look of small, narrow eyes, making them appear more western. With much controversy on this subject<\/a>, some people are suggesting that adoptive parents have no right to take away these children\u2019s ethnic identity. <\/p>\n

Asian eye surgery consists of creating a fold in the upper eyelid<\/strong>. Some patients also have fatty deposits removed from under the eyes. This cosmetic plastic surgery can take anywhere from thirty minutes up to two hours according to the extent of the chosen surgical procedure. With Asian eye surgery there is a risk of complication or poor results as proper surgical techniques and close attention to aesthetics must be performed. Depending on the surgeon, there are two different types of Asian eye surgery that is popularly being used today.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

The incision technique consist of using a scalpel to incise the skin and remove skin, orbicular muscle and orbital septum to change the shape, depth and height of the new crease in the eyelid. This is done with the use of local anesthesia and a light sedation so patients can follow surgeon\u2019s instructions during the plastic surgery for opening and closing eyes. Most American plastic surgeons<\/a> use this method. The other popular method is with the use of sutures, which is often performed in Asian countries by surgeons with less experience. This technique only takes fifteen minutes to complete and is not long lasting. It consist of making small incisions at the front and back of the surfaces of the eyelid and placing sutures internally to cause an indentation in the eyelid. <\/p>\n

It has been reported that Asian people who are born with a weak or low crease or without a crease who do choose to have Asian eye surgery are not choosing this procedure to look more western, but want eyes that are more consistent and harmonious with other facial features. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
