The Durable Non-cutting Double Eyelid Procedure for Asians

New York, NY - An improved non-incisional technique to create double eyelids in Asian patients is reported in the year 2000 issue of Aesthetic Surgery Journal (ASJ), the peer-reviewed publication of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS).

Double-eyelid surgery is the most popular cosmetic surgical procedure in Japan. Whereas most surgeons in the United States perform cutting-type double eyelid surgery, Japanese women prefer non-incisional techniques. According to the authors of a study appearing in ASJ, current non-incisional techniques for creating double eyelids are either technically complex or do not produce lasting results.

Doctors in Japan and the USA describe an improved procedure that uses double sutures and twists (called DST technique) to create double eyelids in Asian patients. They say the non-incisional procedure is “simple, durable, and virtually scar free.” As described in the article, the method uses only two sutures on each upper eyelid, with the durability explained by the areas of ties and the central twists that result in more secure and therefore longer-lasting results.

The authors performed 1108 cases using the DST method during the past ten years, with no loss of double eyelid line after follow-up periods ranging from one month to seven years (with a mean follow-up time of 32 months). The average operative time ranged from 20 minutes (one side) to 60 minutes (bilateral). Most patients did not require sedation, and the surgeries were performed with only local anesthesia. Complications were minor and rare.

眼睑手术 (blepharoplasty)

外貌影响着我们如何感觉我们自己和这个世界。人们对容貌的审视，首先从眼睛开始。一个人的眼睛，特别是微妙的变化常常是表达各种感情和体现人的内在 美和外在美的窗口，故有眼睛为“心灵之窗”的美称。著名作家老舍先生曾写到过：“眼睛能替她的口说出最难以表达的心意与情感”。

美学家称人的双眼是“美之窗”。一双清澈明亮、抚媚动人的眼睛，不但能增添容貌之美，也使人更具魅力和风采，而且能遮去或掩饰面部其它器官的不足和缺陷。
 
如果你的眼睛看起来下垂、有眼袋，眼睑成形术将帮助你去除浮肿的眼睑，恢复你的青春容貌。另外，对亚州人而言，双眼皮手术是一项目非常盛行的眼睑手术。

在亚州，尽管约有一半的人有双眼皮，而另一半却没有。针对没有双眼皮的个人，睑成形术即在亚州称为双眼皮手术，能帮助他们拥有自然的眼睑皱折——即双眼皮。

传统的双眼皮手术分为 割 与 缝 两种方式。 割式双眼皮意味着在上眼睑利用手术刀切开一道痕，效果永久但会闭上眼时难免会看见其疤痕，有失美观。

缝式双眼皮适合上睑眶隔脂肪少、皮肤薄而紧的年轻人，处理方式是将皮肤的真皮和睑板或上睑提肌腱缝合在一起依靠其手术创伤所形成的瘢痕粘连，形成重睑。好处是简单，易操作，术后恢复快，缺点是双眼皮易随着时间而消失。

而日前最新的技术：交叉式勾双眼皮（Double sutures and twisting method /DST) 手术法则是最复杂的双眼皮手术 。 除了效果持久、还可以保有缝合法的优势，如皱折几乎无痕、自然，并有潜在的可逆性、恢复迅速快，是传统割式与缝式远远无法相比的双眼皮最佳制成术。
