WESTERNIZATION OF THE ASIAN EYE WITHOUT SURGERY

What is the westernisation of the Asian eye ?

The Westernization of the Asian eye primarily involves subtly modifying the contours and proportions of the eyelid and crease to create a more open gaze and add depth to the eyes. However, the goal is not to create a fully Caucasian eye shape but rather to enhance the natural features of Asian eyes while maintaining harmony with the patient's face.
This procedure is highly sought after by Asian patients who desire a refined yet subtle transformation without undergoing surgery.

Westernization of the Asian eye in Geneva 

Non-surgical correction of the Asian eye, often referred to as Westernization of the eye, is becoming an increasingly popular solution for achieving a more open and defined gaze without invasive surgery. Through botox injections, hyaluronic acid fillers, and non-surgical lifting techniques, it is now possible

to subtly reshape the eyes, lift the eyelids, and enhance the eyelid crease.
Modern aesthetic approaches allow for a gentle and natural transformation, tailored to the unique anatomy of the Asian face, without risks or downtime.

Anatomical differences between Asian and European eyes

The anatomical differences between the Caucasian eye and the Asian eye primarily concern the eyelids, the eyelid crease, and the arrangement of tissues around the orbit.

Asian upper eyelid
In Caucasians, the upper eyelid crease is generally well-defined and located approximately 8 to 12 mm above the lash line, creating a more hollowed-out contour. In Asians, the upper eyelid crease is often less pronounced or even absent, resulting in a smoother eyelid appearance.
The Asian upper eyelid is characterised by :
• More abundant orbital fat.
• A low insertion of the septum, with the levator aponeurosis attaching beneath the upper edge of the tarsal plate. There are no connections between the extensions of the levator aponeurosis and the skin.
• Highly elastic eyelid skin.
• A palpebral fissure that appears narrower.
• An upper eyelid crease that is often absent or positioned very low, close to the lash line.

 

Epicanthus
The combination of skin laxity and the low position (or absence) of the upper eyelid crease creates a medial canthal fold, known as epicanthus. There are four stages of epicanthus, classified according to the extent of the pretarsal skin fold at the canthus.

 

Asian lower eyelid
• The septum inserts high, near the lash line.
• The palpebral muscle is thinner in this area.
• Fat pads appear early but remain stable over time.

 

There are different types of upper eyelid creases

Absence of upper eyelid crease : monolid
There is no crease dividing the upper eyelid into two sections.

The outer part of the eyelid below the crease is wider than the inner part.

Multiple upper eyelid creases
There are several eyelid creases dividing the upper eyelid.

Parallel upper eyelid crease
The crease runs parallel to the lash line, with the inner and outer portions of the eyelid below the crease having the same width.

Partial upper eyelid crease
The upper eyelid crease is not present along the entire length of the eyelid.

Westernization of the Asian eye without surgery

In aesthetic medicine, several non-invasive techniques allow for a gentle transformation of the eye shape.
It is essential to consult an experienced doctor who is skilled in these specialized techniques and understands the subtle morphological characteristics of Asian facial anatomy. By choosing a qualified practitioner, patients receive personalized advice and a tailored treatment, ensuring natural and harmonious results.

Who is this procedure for ?

The Westernization of the gaze through aesthetic medicine techniques is particularly suited for Asian individuals who wish to enlarge and open their eyes while preserving their identity and uniqueness. This treatment is ideal for those seeking an alternative to surgery, allowing for gradual and temporary modifications.

Botulinum toxin injections for the Westernization of the Asian eye

Botox injections help relax specific muscles around the eye, redefine the eyelid shape, and gently open the gaze. Botox® is used to lift the tail of the eyebrows and elevate the entire brow, creating a more open and structured look.

Hyaluronic acid for the Westernization of the Asian eye

Used to fill or reshape certain areas of the eye, hyaluronic acid allows for the redefinition of the upper eyelid contour.
It can also be injected into the brow ridge to add slight volume and create depth in the gaze.
This product is also used to treat aging in the Asian eye. Over time, the upper Asian eyelid hollows out (hollow eye), like all eyelids. The loss of fullness is treated with hyaluronic acid injections. Using a cannula, hyaluronic acid is injected along the orbital rim to replace the fat that has diminished.
The results are immediate and last about two years. The aftereffects are mild, with occasional bruising (rare) and localized swelling.

Advantages of medical techniques for the Westernization of the gaze

Opting for medical techniques offers several advantages :
• Natural results. These treatments allow for subtle and adjustable results, respecting the morphology and proportions of the face.
• Non-invasive procedures. These techniques are less invasive than surgical procedures and do not cause social downtime.
• Personalization. Each treatment is tailored to the patient to achieve the desired goals while preserving the natural harmony of the face.

Comment l’acide hyaluronique est-il utilisé pour rehausser le pli palpébral supérieur ?

L’acide hyaluronique est injecté avec précision dans la paupière supérieure pour créer ou accentuer le pli palpébral. Il redonne du volume, ouvre le regard et imite l’effet d’une double paupière, sans chirurgie.

Les techniques non chirurgicales sont sans cicatrice, réversibles, avec une récupération rapide. Elles offrent un résultat naturel, progressif et personnalisé, sans les risques liés à une opération.

Non, ces techniques sont peu douloureuses. Une crème anesthésiante est appliquée avant les injections, assurant un confort optimal durant la séance.
