CLINICAL EXPERIENCE OF BLEPHAROPLASTY: COMPARISON OF ANATOMICAL FEATURES IN ASIAN AND EUROPEAN PATIENTS

Abstract

Upper eyelid blepharoplasty is one of the most sought-after aestethic surgeries worldwide, especially among patients of Asian descent. However, the anatomical features of Asian eyelids, such as the absence of a distinct crease, the presence of subcutaneous fat tissue, and the specific structure of the orbital septum, require an individualized approach to selecting surgical techniques. The article presents a comparative analysis of the anatomical features of 50 patients of Asian and European descent, focusing on anatomical differences, clinical outcomes, and patient satisfaction.
The aim of the study is to examine and compare the effectiveness of various surgical techniques for blepharoplasty in patients of Asian and European descent, as well as to identify factors influencing patient satisfaction with the results of the surgery. All surgeries were performed at the "MaxClinic" for Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. The study used standardized questionnaires, analysis of medical records, and pre- and post-operative photographs. Data were processed using SPSS software.
The relevance of this study for Kyrgyzstan is due to the growing demand for aesthetic surgeries, including blepharoplasty, among the population with predominantly Asian ethnic features. In a multi-ethnic country where both Asian and European anatomical features are present, it is important to develop adapted surgical approaches that take into account the specifics of the local population. Conducting such research will improve the quality of medical services, reduce the frequency of complications, and enhance patient satisfaction, which is particularly important in the absence ofstatistical data in Kyrgyzstan.
The results of the study can be used to develop recommendations for performing blepharoplasty in Kyrgyzstan, as well as to train surgeons in modern techniques that consider the ethnic characteristics of patients.
