San Diego Eyelid Surgery
The most common characteristics that patients wish to correct with San Diego eyelid surgery (“blepharoplasty”) include upper eye hooding and lower eye puffiness. After examining the eyes during a consultation, Dr. Sherman will recommend the most appropriate surgical technique to help meet the patient’s goals.
In order to remove excess fat and reduce bulging from the lower eyelids, incisions can be made either inside the eyelid or along the lower lash line on the outer area. In some cases, excess skin is removed as well. Those who have excess hooding in the upper eyelid oftentimes experience vision impairment, which requires excision of fat, muscle, and skin. Incisions for upper eyelid surgery are made along the natural crease in order to reduce the appearance of scarring. Dr. Sherman removes excess fat and skin, which alleviates the droopy eyelid look and provides a more youthful and alert appearance.
Del Mar, La Jolla, and San Diego eyelid surgery patients who wish to achieve an overall facial rejuvenation may inquire about other cosmetic surgery procedures. Dr. Sherman performs face lift surgery (“rhytidectomy”), nose surgery (“rhinoplasty”), and brow lift surgery (“forehead lift”) to provide patents with a younger-looking appearance.
Examples of previous patient results can be viewed in before and after eyelid surgery photos. In addition, patient testimonials may provide further insight to the care given at Del Mar Cosmetic Medical Center.
