Eyelid Surgery Orange County

Beautiful, engaging, inviting eyes are one of the most essentials components to a youthful appearance and are often the most colorful feature of the face. Our eyes are unique and allow for an incredible range of emotional expression. Age-related changes appear in the eyes – more than any other part of the body – due to squinting, sun damage and genetics. The skin of the upper eyelid loses its elasticity creating a wrinkled, saggy appearance while the lid starts its downward descent resulting in a tired expression that dramatically emphasizes aging.

What Is Upper Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty is a surgery performed to restore the upper eyelids to their more youthful, vital appearance. During the procedure, Dr. Yeh uses advanced techniques to remove excess fat, skin and muscle that are responsible for the aged appearance of the upper eyelids. Upper Eyelid Surgery does not correct Crow’s Feet, forehead wrinkles/ furrows or sagging eyebrows. Patients often choose to have a Forehead/Brow Lift and Injectable treatments to correct these issues.

Why Upper Eyelid Surgery?

  • The natural contour of the upper eyelid is restored
  • Excess skin that is impairing vision – is removed
  • Fatty deposits that cause upper eyelid puffiness are eliminated
  • Rejuvenates the upper face which restores a vibrant, youthful appearance
  • Is commonly done in tandem with other anti-aging procedure

Your Consultation

Dr. Yeh believes that the initial consultation is most important and should be done face to face with your surgeon. After listening closely and carefully to your concerns, Dr. Yeh is able to do a critical evaluation and make the correct recommendations to address your specific needs. It is during the consultation that you both arrive at a mutual understanding and trust than enables Dr. Yeh to tailor the treatment plan that is best suited to you – not somebody else.

Upper Eyelid/Blepharoplasty Procedure

Dr. Yeh typically uses local anesthesia with or without sedation to keep you comfortable during your surgery. Small, well hidden incisions are made in the crease of the upper eyelid and Dr. Yeh works through these to reposition fat, tighten muscles and remove excess skin if needed. This achieves a natural, youthful upper eyelid contour. Dr. Yeh may recommend cold compresses to help minimize and reduce swelling.

What are the Benefits of Eyelid Surgery

While eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) is often associated with cosmetic enhancement, many patients are surprised by the additional functional and emotional benefits that come with the procedure. Beyond restoring a youthful, refreshed appearance, eyelid surgery can improve quality of life in several meaningful ways.

Benefits of eyelid surgery may include:

  • Improved Vision: Excess skin on the upper eyelids can droop over the lashes and impair peripheral vision. Removing it can expand your visual field and enhance daily comfort.
  • Reduced Eye Fatigue: Heaviness in the eyelids often forces the forehead muscles to work overtime, leading to tension and fatigue. Eyelid surgery helps relieve this strain.
  • More Engaged Appearance: Tired, droopy eyelids can create the impression of fatigue or disinterest. Lifting them creates a more open, alert, and approachable expression.
  • Boosted Confidence: Many patients feel more self-assured in social and professional settings after surgery, enjoying a refreshed look that still feels like themselves.

At Yeh Facial Plastic Surgery, Dr. Yeh carefully customizes each eyelid procedure to support both form and function, helping patients not only look better, but feel better too.
