Blepharoplasty or Eyelid surgery?
Blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery, also known as cosmetic eyelid surgery is a surgical procedure that rejuvenates the eyelids. It can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both. This is perhaps the area in cosmetic surgery that requires the surgeon to be the most "ultra conservative." Aggressive surgery in the eye can leave the patient with irreversible changes that may severely affect the function and the aesthetics of the eye.
Dr. Araya customizes the Blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery for each individual. He avoids removal of too much fat to avoid the "sunken eye" look. On certain patients he uses fat or filler to fill the tear trough and smooth the eyelid-cheek junction. He is meticulous and conservative so that the shape of your eyelids will never change. He has over 15 years of surgical experience and over 20 years of cosmetic surgery research. All his surgeries are performed under local anesthesia with oral sedatives that minimizes risk of IV sedation and General Anesthesia.
