Unlock a More Youthful You: The Power of Upper vs. Lower Eyelid Surgery in Newport Beach

Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is a transformative procedure that can help you achieve a refreshed look. There are two distinct types of eyelid surgery: upper and lower blepharoplasty. Each targets specific concerns, allowing for a customized approach to facial rejuvenation. In Newport Beach, Dr. Kevin Sadati, a board-certified facial plastic surgeon at the Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery, specializes in these rejuvenating treatments. His expertise allows him to determine whether upper, lower, or a combination of both procedures would best suit each patient’s unique needs and aesthetic goals.

Understanding Eyelid Surgery

Eyelid surgery is a precision-crafted procedure designed to enhance the appearance of your eyes by removing excess skin, fat from the upper or lower eyelids. This can help you look more youthful, alert, and refreshed. In Newport Beach, Dr. Kevin Sadati, a renowned board-certified facial plastic surgeon, specializes in both upper and lower eyelid surgeries.

Upper Eyelid Surgery: Revitalizing Your Upper Eyelids

Upper eyelid surgery focuses on the area above your eyes. As we age, the skin on our upper eyelids can become loose and saggy, sometimes even obstructing vision. This procedure can: 

• Remove excess skin and fat 
• Tighten the remaining skin 
• Create a more defined eyelid crease 
• Improve vision if excess skin is causing obstruction 

If you have droopy or hooded upper eyelids that make you look tired or older than you feel, upper eyelid surgery might be the perfect solution. In some instances, there might be sagging of the brows, causing the corner of the upper eyelids to appear full and sagging. Therefore, a temporal brow lift can help to elevate the lax tissue as well.

Lower Eyelid Surgery: Banishing Under-Eye Concerns

Lower eyelid surgery targets the area below your eyes. This procedure can: 

• Remove or redistribute excess fat causing under-eye bags 
• Tighten loose skin 
• Smooth out fine lines and wrinkles

Lower blepharoplasty is ideal for those struggling with puffy under-eye bags, dark circles, or a sunken appearance beneath the eyes. The incisions are made inside the eyelids, the excess fat is removed or repositioned, then laser resurfacing is performed to smooth out the wrinkles and loose skin without cutting under the eyelashes.

Combining Upper and Lower Eyelid Surgery

In many cases, patients benefit from combining both upper and lower eyelid surgeries. This comprehensive approach can provide a more balanced and harmonious rejuvenation of the entire eye area. Dr. Sadati can assess your unique facial structure and aesthetic goals to recommend the best approach for you.

The Eyelid Surgery Process in Newport Beach

When you choose eyelid surgery in Newport Beach with Dr. Sadati, you can expect a personalized experience. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation, ensuring your comfort throughout. For upper eyelid surgery, incisions are made along the natural crease of the eyelid, making any resulting scars virtually invisible. In lower eyelid surgery, the incision is often made just below the lash line or inside the eyelid, leaving no visible scarring.

Recovery and Results

Recovery from eyelid surgery is generally quick, with most patients able to return to normal activities within 10-14 days. You can expect some swelling and bruising in the first week, but these effects typically subside quickly. The results of your eyelid surgery will continue to improve over the first few months as swelling fully resolves. Many patients report looking more rested, alert, and youthful after their procedure.
