New York Magazine's Maureen O’Connor recently delved into the world of ethnic plastic surgery in a piece titled “Is Race Plastic? My Trip Into the ‘Ethnic Plastic
Surgery’ Minefield”.
She spoke with plastic surgeons and the people they’ve operated on about the different “ethnic” features coveted in plastic surgery. One of the more common surgeries she wrote about was double
blepharoplasty, often called "Asian eyelid surgery," and its intense racial implications.
The procedure received a lot of attention last year when Chinese-American talk-show host Julie Chen admitted on CBS’ “The Talk” that she had had the procedure done
back in the ‘90s after her former news director because of her "Asian eyes," he had "noticed that when you're on camera, when you're interviewing someone you look disinterested and bored because your eyes are so heavy, they are so small.”
Even before then, CNN , Reuters , and other publications had done exposés on the procedure, and media outlets had covered
everything from eyelid tape or glue (which creates a temporary crease in the eyelid) to eyelid trainers (which claim to make a permanent crease in the eyelid).
But the vast majority of people who get this procedure aren’t trying to fit a Western ideal at all, but an Asian ideal.
They’re not interested in having Caucasian- shaped double eyelids — they want a more open, more alert-looking eyes with a subtle
crease that has always been appealing in their own culture.
Not only are the desired shapes
fundamentally different, but so is the surgery itself.
According to the Asian Plastic Surgery Guide , Asian eyelid
procedures don’t suck out fat (or as much fat) as cosmetic eye procedures on Caucasians, which are commonly done on older individuals whose eyelids have
become droopy due to age.
Asian eyelid surgery, on the other hand, is often performed on younger individuals to simply create a subtle crease — sometimes with just a few carefully placed stitches — that makes the eyes appear larger.
Under the umbrella of “Asian eyelid surgery,” there are a few different techniques. One of the most common is the suture technique, which costs less and has
a quicker healing time. It takes less than an hour for a doctor to place a few well- aimed stitches that compress the eyelid into the ideal shape. The downside is that
it's a less-permanent option, and patients may have to get the procedure done again.
There’s also the incisional technique, which is more customizable, but more expensive
method with a longer recovery time. In this type of surgery excess skin or fat is cut from fuller eyelids, which makes the results permanent.

SYDNEY (AP) — In an almost
incomprehensible twist of fate, an
Australian woman who lost her brother in the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 learned on Friday that her
stepdaughter was on the plane shot down over Ukraine.
Kaylene Mann's brother Rod Burrows and sister-in-law Mary Burrows were on board Flight 370 when it vanished in March. On
Friday, Mann found out that her
stepdaughter, Maree Rizk, was killed along with 297 others on Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, which U.S. intelligence authorities believe was shot down by a surface-to-air
missile.
"It's just brought everyone, everything back," said Greg Burrows, Mann's brother.
"It's just ... ripped our guts again."
Burrows said his family was struggling to understand how they could be struck by such horrible luck on two separate occasions with the same airline.
"She just lost a brother and now a
stepdaughter, so..." he said of his sister, his voice trailing off.
Rizk and her husband Albert, of
Melbourne, were returning home from a four-week holiday in Europe, said Phil Lithgow, president of the Sunbury Football
Club, with which the family was heavily involved. Albert, a real estate agent, was a member of the club's committee, Maree was a volunteer in the canteen and their
son, James, plays on the club's team.
"They were very lovely people," Lithgow said. "You wouldn't hear a bad word about them — very generous with their time in
the community, very community-minded, and just really very entertaining people to
be with."
The club members planned to wear black armbands and observe a minute of silence to honor the Rizks at their game on Saturday, Lithgow said.
Despite the twin tragedies, Burrows said he holds nothing against Malaysia Airlines.
"Nobody could predict they were going to get shot down," he said. "That was out of their hands."
