Abstract

Rejuvenation of the aging Asian face mandates a unique set of strategies that differs from that of the Occidental face. There are discussions on cultural issues, strategies for the aging Asian eyelid including aging Asian eyelids with a natural supratarsal crease, aging Asian eyelids without a supratarsal crease, and aging Asian eyelids with a man-made crease, and strategies for the aging Asian face. Specific application of these techniques to the Asian face requires a combination of cultural sensitivity and expressed artistry. Understanding the Asian face and its problems may provide some thoughtful guidelines for the Western surgeon unaccustomed to dealing with the Asian patient except on rare or infrequent occasions.
