Hello, bright eyes! If you are looking to lift heavy upper eyelids or smooth under eye bags, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) at our Saratoga, California practice can help. Dr. Laura Phan draws from her extensive training and experience as an oculoplastic surgeon to restore a refreshed, vibrant look to this important area of the face.
Blepharoplasty treats the delicate eye area, targeting the upper lids, lower lids, or both. It’s a great option if your sagging lids or puffy bags are causing you to look aged or tired. For some people, blepharoplasty improves their field of vision.
Keep in mind that each patient is unique and your results may vary.
Depending on your concerns, you may be a candidate for one or more types of eyelid surgery:
Upper Blepharoplasty – Revive tired, hooded eyes. Incisions are hidden in the natural eyelid crease, allowing Dr. Phan to reposition sagging tissue and remove the excess.
Lower Blepharoplasty – Smooth under eye bags and hollows. Dr. Phan uses tiny incisions along the lash line or inside the lower lid to adjust skin and fat.
Double Eyelid Surgery – Create a natural-looking eyelid crease. Dr. Phan performs double eyelid surgery, or Asian blepharoplasty, for patients looking to address a monolid.
Quad Blepharoplasty – Rejuvenate the entire eye area. Dr. Phan treats all 4 eyelids for the most comprehensive improvement.
Ptosis Repair – Make the eyes appear larger. Dr. Phan tightens lax muscles during ptosis repair, giving the upper eyelid more strength to open the eyes wider. This procedure can be done during a blepharoplasty or on its own.
Dr. Phan typically performs blepharoplasty in-office while you are under local anesthesia. She uses tiny, precise incisions to make the desired adjustments, from tightening lax muscles, excising redundant skin, removing fat, and repositioning the tissues for a more youthful, rested look. The specific technique she uses will depend on your unique surgical plan.
Dr. Laura Phan has devoted years of studying and hands-on experience to offer the safest, most flattering eyelid surgery possible. Her mastery of techniques and aesthetics ensures both functional improvements and a natural-looking cosmetic outcome. Dr. Phan specializes in double eyelid surgery (Asian eyelid surgery) and traditional blepharoplasty.
Dr. Phan typically performs blepharoplasty as an outpatient, in-office procedure with local anesthesia or sedation. Here is what you can expect after your eyelid surgery:
