Reversing Asian eyelid surgery

It is somewhat possible to reverse the Asian eyelid surgery by revision surgery to lower the creases. Sutures need to be placed at the level of the tarsal crease to create the fold underneath the skin. Small fat grafts to the orbital area could probably be attempted with only moderate success.

Asian eye lid

Reversing the asian eye lid may not be possible. Muscle is taken out, and sutures are used between the skin and the tarsal plate to create the new fold. This will create a scar simulating the caucasian fold.The standard for most plastic surgeos now is the fold to be no higher than 9 mm. Usually between 6-9 mm
