TLDR More East Asians are accepting and getting facial plastic surgery, with a focus on natural-looking results and using both surgical and nonsurgical methods.
The document from 2016 examines the growth of aesthetic facial plastic surgery in East Asia, noting a cultural shift towards acceptance of physical alterations for success due to globalization. It details common surgeries like double-eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty, and facial bone contouring, as well as nonsurgical techniques such as fillers and laser treatments, emphasizing a trend towards natural enhancements that maintain ethnic features. The document also discusses the unique anatomical features of East Asians that necessitate modified surgical techniques and the rising popularity of autologous grafts over synthetic implants. Additionally, it highlights the importance of understanding the risks associated with nonsurgical interventions like filler injections and the need for prompt treatment of complications. The conclusion suggests that while new trends and techniques are rapidly developing, further research is needed to validate these approaches, with a significant emphasis on the integration of nonsurgical techniques to improve outcomes.
