Blepharoplasty is one of the most common cosmetic surgery in the United States next to liposuction and breast augmentation. It is often asked for by many Asians to add dimension to their eyelids. It is also a procedure done to reduce eye puffiness and to correct a condition where the eyelid significantly droops, which is called ptosis.

[...] That’s a lot of effort that Facebook is making to figure out the ethnicity of its users. What will it do this data? Some say that Facebook will use it for advertising and marketing purposes. If they do, I hope that keep it relatively tasteful. I’d rather not see ads for the “I love skin whiteners group” or for eyelid surgery. [...]

Plastic Surgeons like to prey on insecure Asian women to have their eyes done.
No Asian women should have resort to eyelids surgery unless they themselves have severe deformities.

Other then that, change your racial esteem from the inside, not outside.

Ironically think about this, if you are a trend follower for double eyelids. Ask yourself what would happen if single eye lids become a trend tomorrow you won't have the troubles of hot ironing your eyes lids out haha

Stay confident!

I like your eyes too Connie! Don’t change them, nothing EVER needs to be done about our gorgeous single-eyelid Asian eyes!

Great film!

Thanks for all the comments

Teresa, I made the film in fall of 2008; you most likeley saw “Never Perfect” by Regina Park–a full feature documentary about eyelid surgery. It's a great, compelling film.

tiennguyen, you're right, I think we all need to celebrate natural beauty much, much more.

I can agree that the double eyelids are an "improved" look, but there's something about knowing someone did it that is unattractive to me.

It's comparable to say getting bigger boobs..I think that universally men are going to be instinctively more attracted to them, but knowing there's a "fakeness" there and that that's not really who you are can be a turn off.

Either way great stuff.
