Cosmetic surgery - Changing your eyes by James Wilkinson

How far would you go to change your appearance? Well for some, creating eyelid folds where there were none before isn't too far. In a procedure which is being seen more and more often, the Asian Blepharoplasty to be precise, an extra fold is created in the upper eyelid to make the eye appear bigger and more westernised in appearance.

To begin with it is important to understand what would motivate someone to go for this operation. Firstly - large eyes are considered a symbol of beauty in the Asian community. Some Asians see this procedure as an attempt to look more westernised and with the vast number of men and women undergoing this procedure this may certainly be the case.

With any cosmetic surgery procedure there will always be some controversy attached but if your decision is well thought out and you are undergoing treatment for your own benefit there should be no reason not to go for it. When you delve further into the topic it is surprising to see how much pressure is placed upon people of Asian descent in both Asia and America to go for this procedure. Some parents even offer it as a coming of age present and it is not unheard of for parents to pay for this procedure to be applied to their young children. The procedure was originally created to ward off signs of aging which can be especially visible around the eyes but has now become so popular in the Asian community that 1 in 10 people are thought to undergo this procedure in Korea.

The procedure usually lasts for around an hour and recovery usually takes about a week. All in all, this is not one of the most invasive procedures you can undergo and you can be assured that if you seek out a qualified and experienced surgeon your procedure should run smoothly and recovery progress without incident.

If you are searching for cosmetic surgery procedures online you should look for an experienced and accredited surgeon to ensure that any plastic surgery you opt for is carried out to the highest of standards.
