Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) in the Beverly Hills and Los Angeles Areas
As we age, our eyelids begin to droop and puffiness or bags can develop in the lower eye region, causing us to look angry or tired even when that is not how we feel. Dr. Harrison H. Lee offers a procedure called Blepharoplasty or Eyelid Surgery at his Beverly Hills and Los Angeles area practice that is used to correct drooping eyelids and remove the appearance of lower eye puffiness or bags. In this procedure, excess loose skin, fat, and/or muscle are removed to restore a more youthful appearance to the eyes. Blepharoplasty can also be performed on Asian eyelids to create a better defined crease.
Eyelid Lift Surgery
Every year, hundreds of thousands of men and women undergo blepharoplasty to improve the way they look. Whether caused by genetics or aging, droopy eyelids can make you look older and can also impair your vision. Blepharoplasty corrects these problems and can also remove puffiness and bags under the eyes that make you look tired. In eyelid lift surgery, excess fat, muscle, and/or loose skin are removed. Fine sutures are used to close the incisions, which are strategically placed to minimize the visibility of any scars. This procedure cannot alter dark circles, fine lines, and wrinkles around the eyes, nor can it improve the appearance of sagging eyebrows. To raise eyebrows and smooth the brow area, brow lift surgery is often performed. Based on your individual desires and needs it may be recommended that you combine the eyelid surgery procedure with brow lift surgery.
Asian Eyelid Surgery
There are numerous differences between Caucasian and Asian eyes. Most of them are unseen differences in the muscle and other underlying tissues. For example, Asian eyes have an increased fat content and somewhat thicker skin. Often, the crease of the upper eyelids is less pronounced, allowing the skin to hang over the lashes and conceal much of the eye. Dr. Lee has mastered a method of eyelid surgery in which he creates the crease that often missing or obscured in the eyelids of Asians. In doing so, Dr. Lee gives Asian eyes a refreshed, rejuvenated appearance without violating their unique ethnic characteristics.
