Abstract

Updates on the Theory of Upper Eyelid Crease Formation in Eastern Asians

Haiping Wang*

Surgical theories serve as a guide for surgical techniques and reflect our understanding of anatomical structures and functions. Among Eastern Asians, double eyelid surgery is the most common cosmetic procedure. The hypothesis of upper eyelid crease creation has evolved throughout time, from the quest for a fixed crease to the reconstruction of an elastic crease that corresponds with ethnic traits. The background, content and surgical significance of these beliefs are summed up in this review.
