Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) Huntington Beach, CA | Steve T. Vu, MD - California Aesthetic Center - Huntington Beach

Understanding Blepharoplasty: Revitalizing Your Eye Appearance

Tired or aged eyes may not reflect your true self. Blepharoplasty is a precise surgical technique that revises eyelid features to restore a more rested and youthful appearance. The procedure addresses excess skin that can impact both aesthetic appeal and peripheral vision.

Comprehensive Blepharoplasty Solutions

Dr. Vu offers comprehensive blepharoplasty procedures for Huntington Beach and Orange County patients, focusing on rejuvenating the periorbital area and potentially restoring eye appearance up to 10 years younger.

Key Blepharoplasty Objectives

• Eliminate redundant, drooping eyelid skin
• Smooth fine and coarse wrinkles
• Reduce excess fat causing puffiness
• Potentially improve peripheral vision

Surgical Approach and Expertise

With years of microsurgery experience, Dr. Vu employs meticulous surgical techniques that minimize bruising and swelling while promoting subtle, natural-looking outcomes.

Upper vs. Lower Eyelid Procedures

Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty

• Often performed under local anesthetic
• Removes excess skin
• Corrects eyelid asymmetry
• Removes unwanted fat from inner eye corners

Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty

• Typically performed with conscious IV sedation
• Removes excess skin
• Smooths eyelid area
• Repositions orbital fat

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect minimal discomfort with recommended post-surgical care. Swelling typically peaks around the third day and rapidly subsides. Most patients return to normal activities within one week.

Alternatives and Limitations

While alternatives like BOTOX, dermal fillers, and laser treatments exist, blepharoplasty offers more comprehensive and long-lasting results for significant aesthetic concerns.

Important Considerations

• Does not change eye shape or eyelid orientation
• Cannot lift eyebrows (potential brow lift recommendation)
• Provides natural, attractive rejuvenation
