    AbstractThere are subtle anatomical differences between the oriental and occidental eyelids. Creation of upper eyelid crease, otherwise known as "Double Eyelid" has been the single most popular cosmetic surgical procedure among the affluent Asians to enhance the beauty of their eyelids. It is important for the surgeon to be familiar with the anatomical differences in order not to westernise their facial features but to blend his creation with the existing facial features. This is true of any surgical procedure in the lids, be it ptosis correction or blepharoplasty for excess skin and bags in the eyelids, in order to produce good cosmetic results.
