Brighter, More Youthful Eyes
The eyes are a focal feature of the face. Over time, our eyes can develop puffy, dark circles and drooping eyelids that convey the appearance of fatigue and a loss of vitality.
Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, can eliminate sagging eyelids and puffiness for a dramatically rejuvenated appearance. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Boris Ackerman in Newport Beach, CA, performs the procedure with nuance, artistry, and precision to help you achieve your ideal look.
View Before & Afters
The area around the eyes is one of the first places to reveal signs of aging. If you are frustrated by drooping upper lids or puffiness and discoloration in the lower lids, you may be an excellent candidate for eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty. The surgery not only revitalizes your appearance but can also expand your field of vision, restoring peace of mind and quality of life.
With upper eyelid surgery, tiny incisions are made within the fine creases of the upper lids, where scarring is less likely to be conspicuous and well-concealed. Through your incisions, Dr. Ackerman will remove excess fat, tissue, and skin, creating a more inviting, energized facial expression.
With lower blepharoplasty, Dr. Ackerman creates incisions along the lower lash lines or on the insides of the lower eyelids. He is then able to reposition or remove pockets of fat, correct the appearance of dark circles and puffiness, and create a smoother, more rested countenance.
Ideal candidates for eyelid surgery must be in good health and have realistic expectations about their results. You will also be asked to stop smoking a few weeks before and after your surgery.
Many men and women struggling with significant aging of the eyes may often look tired or angry. This is because the skin and muscles surrounding the eyes become lax, and fat becomes displaced. Eyelid surgery can eliminate dark circles and puffiness around the eyes to create a more rested and relaxed facial appearance.
The tissues of the upper eyelids can begin to droop and interfere with a person’s eyesight. Eyelid surgery can remove overhanging tissue from the upper eyelids to restore a full field of vision.
Wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging that have developed around the eyes can make a person feel self-conscious about their overall appearance. Eyelid surgery not only improves the appearance of your eyes for an aesthetically pleasing look but can also boost your self-esteem. As in like
