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

BLEPHAROPLASTY HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA | DR. LUU Q. DOAN, MD

UNDERSTANDING EYELID LIFT SURGERY

Eyelid Lift, medically known as Blepharoplasty, is a surgical
procedure designed to address aesthetic and functional concerns
related to aging eyelids. The treatment removes overhanging skin,
excess muscle, and puffy fat from the eyelids, effectively relieving
the tired and aged appearance of the eyes.

AGE-RELATED EYELID CHANGES

As individuals enter their fourth decade of life, eyelid skin
naturally loses tone and elasticity. Factors such as sun exposure,
smoking, gravity, and aging contribute to visible changes, including:

 	* Loss of upper eyelid double crease
	* Skin hooding over the eyes
	* Horizontal wrinkles on lower eyelids
	* Fat protrusion creating under-eye "bags"

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

The Eyelid Lift is an outpatient procedure performed under general
anesthesia at a medicare-accredited surgical center. The surgery
typically takes approximately 90 minutes, with 45 minutes dedicated to
upper eyelids and 45 minutes to lower eyelids.

UPPER EYELID TECHNIQUE

Dr. Doan makes an incision along the natural supratarsal crease above
the eyelash margin. A precise crescent of skin is removed, along with
underlying muscle and potentially puffy fat deposits.

LOWER EYELID APPROACH

An incision is made 2 mm below the eyelash margin. The skin and muscle
are carefully elevated to remove protruding fat, and excess skin is
meticulously excised and closed with fine sutures.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Patients can expect the following recovery timeline:

 	* Initial achy pain managed with prescribed medication
	* Return to work within 5 days
	* Normal exercise routine resumable by six weeks
	* Bruising resolved within two weeks
	* Majority of swelling subsides by two months

POTENTIAL COMPLICATIONS

While complications are rare for healthy candidates, potential risks
include:

 	* Bleeding requiring surgical intervention
	* Temporary difficulty closing eyes
	* Dry eye syndrome
	* Potential infection
	* Minor healing asymmetries
