What is "单眼皮" or "双眼皮"？ Is there "三眼皮"？

donzhtm

In Chinese, "单眼皮" (dān yǎn pí) means monolid, which refers to an eyelid shape where the upper eyelid doesn't have a crease, and the skin covers the eyelashes. In contrast, "双眼皮" (shuāng yǎn pí) refers to the double eyelid shape where there is a crease on the upper eyelid, creating a fold that exposes some of the eyelashes.

As for "三眼皮" (sān yǎn pí), it's not a common term in Chinese and doesn't refer to a specific eyelid shape. It could potentially be used as a creative or humorous way of describing someone with a unique or unusual eye shape, but it's not a standard term.


In China, the beauty standards have varied over time, and there has been a growing trend in recent years of embracing diverse features, including monolids. However, historically, double eyelids have been considered more desirable in China, and many people have opted for cosmetic procedures to create double eyelids.
That being said, there are also many Chinese celebrities with monolids who are considered beautiful or handsome, such as actress Zhang Ziyi, actor Hu Ge, and singer Wang Junkai. Additionally, some beauty brands in China have started featuring models with monolids in their advertising campaigns to reflect changing beauty standards.


Like any medical procedure, there are potential risks and complications associated with double eyelid surgery. However, if the procedure is performed by a qualified and experienced surgeon in a reputable clinic or hospital, the risks can be minimized.
Complications from double eyelid surgery can include infection, bleeding, scarring, asymmetry, and changes in eyelid shape or position. More serious complications, such as vision loss, are rare.
To minimize the risk of complications, it is important to choose a qualified and experienced surgeon who uses proper techniques and equipment. Patients should also carefully follow all pre- and post-operative instructions provided by the surgeon.
