    Youthful Features Are Restored Naturally by HAPPYNESS

    Facial expressions communicate. Lines, furrows, shadows, and subtle contours express emotions, sentiments, confidence, insecurity, intentions, and age. Down-turned and deep lines or shadows indicate aging, fatigue, and sadness. Upturned lines, angles, and shapes can be restored surgically with a San Diego facelift to communicate youth, vitality, and happiness.

    What is a Eyelid?

    For those who aren’t ready for a full, traditional facelift, the less-invasive mini facelift is a safe, quick recovery alternative. If you see mild to moderate wrinkling and loose skin on your face and neck or you’re developing incipient jowls and creases between your nose and the corners of your mouth, a mini facelift offers.

    Our Eyelid Procedures Questions:

    UAL is a technology that uses ultrasonic energy to gently liquefy fat. As the cannula is passed through fat deposits, ultrasonic energy breaks open the fat cell walls. This allows fat to flow more freely, where it can be suctioned out and removed.

    Regarding Blepharoplasty, what methods are used? What about “laser blepharoplasty”? What’s the difference?

    Conventional upper eyelid blepharoplasty in San Diego involves a crescent-shaped excision of skin along the upper eyelid fold. Eyelid surgery removes excessive skin and repositions fat for youthful contours. Eyelids may be lifted and opened more if “bedroom eyes” are causing or contributing to a “sleepy” appearance.  For Asian patients, type and location of the upper eyelid crease can be adjusted with eyelid blepharoplasty. Fat can be used to lighten shadows if the upper eyelid appears hollow. Other techniques can be applied as indicated.

    There are multiple plastic surgery options for the lower eyelid. If you have mild skin excess or wrinkles, laser treatment tightens and smooths the skin.  Patients with significant skin excess benefit more from surgical removal, but DON’T BE SCARED, this is a common procedure, and the results can be a dramatic improvement! Through an opening just below the eyelashes, Dr. Steve Laverson, a San Diego plastic surgeon removes fat or rearranges it to sculpt the desired result so your lower eyelids reflect light youthfully rather than absorbing it into a crease or hollow. San Diego eyelid surgeon Dr. Laverson elevates and repositions the aging, sagging cheek through the lower eyelid to a more youthful, attractive contour and secures the lifted cheek to bone for durability. Skin excess is trimmed and the resulting scar from the eyelid surgery disappears along the eyelashes. Implants, fat grafting, biocompatible fillers, and other measures are incorporated as necessary for the best result.  Office revision procedures are occasionally necessary for eye lid surgery.

    Does blepharoplasty affect how contact lenses fit?

    No. Eyelid (blepharoplasty) surgery affects skin and soft tissue of the eyelids, but should not affect ocular structures upon which contact lenses fit. Although you won’t apply contacts for two weeks or longer after surgery (to allow healing), blepharoplasty surgery doesn’t normally change how your contact lenses fit or function.

    Why are eyebrows and upper eyelids considered together?

    Your upper eyelids and brows should be evaluated together because their function and aesthetics are intimately related.  If low eyebrows have descended extra skin on the upper lid, lifting the brows is more appropriate relief than removing skin from the upper eyelids and leaving your brows low, especially if sagging brows cause a hostile, aged, angry, or tired appearance.  If you’re compensating by lifting your brows voluntarily to improve your vision, deep forehead creases develop over time.   If eyelid skin is removed instead of lifting descended brows, brow muscles may then relax, allowing skin to drape again over the upper eyelids, obscuring the upper eyelid surgical result.   This sequence is common, but is best avoided by recognition of brow sagging and treatment by brow lift or forehead lift.

    How does a lower eyelid rejuvenation work?

    Lower eyelid rejuvenation works by smoothing the contour between the lower lashes and the cheek through a combination of skin tightening, lifting, repositioning of fat bulges, and the removal of loose, wrinkled skin. In some cases, the deep soft tissues of the lower eyelids are rearranged to better reflect light for a more youthful appearance. If it is necessary, volume is added to the lower eyelid and upper cheek with small implants.
