Your eyes are often the first feature people notice and unfortunately, also one of the first areas to reveal signs of aging. Sagging skin, puffiness, and drooping eyelids can make you look older, tired, or even impair your vision. At Tran Plastic Surgery in Huntington Beach, CA, Dr. Tuan Tran offers advanced eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) to restore youthful, refreshed, and natural-looking eyes.
What Is Eyelid Surgery?
Eyelid surgery, also called blepharoplasty, is a precise surgical procedure that rejuvenates the upper and/or lower eyelids. By removing excess skin, tightening muscles, and repositioning fat deposits, the procedure restores smooth contours around the eyes. Patients enjoy brighter, younger-looking eyes while maintaining a natural, balanced appearance.
At Tran Plastic Surgery, Dr. Tran tailors every eyelid surgery to the patient’s facial structure, goals, and unique needs. With his expertise in facial rejuvenation and reconstructive surgery, patients can trust that their results will be both safe and aesthetically harmonious.
Why Patients Choose Eyelid Surgery
1. Rejuvenates Your Appearance
Fine lines, sagging skin, and drooping eyelids can prematurely age your face. Blepharoplasty smooths the skin and tightens underlying tissues, helping you look rested, youthful, and vibrant.
2. Brightens Tired-Looking Eyes
Even if you’re well-rested, puffy under-eye bags or heavy eyelids can make you look fatigued. By removing or repositioning fatty deposits, eyelid surgery restores a more alert, energized appearance.
3. Improves Vision Impaired by Drooping Eyelids
For some patients, excess skin on the upper eyelids droops low enough to obstruct their field of vision. Upper eyelid surgery removes this obstruction, improving both functionality and aesthetics.
Types of Eyelid Surgery
At Tran Plastic Surgery, Dr. Tran offers several approaches depending on your needs:
Upper Eyelid Surgery
-
Removes sagging skin that can create a “hooded” look.
-
Reduces heaviness of the upper eyelids.
-
Enhances eye shape and may improve vision in severe cases.
Lower Eyelid Surgery
-
Targets puffiness and bags beneath the eyes.
-
Repositions or removes fat deposits.
-
Smooths wrinkles for a firmer, more youthful under-eye area.
Combined Upper and Lower Eyelid Surgery
For patients with concerns in both areas, combining the procedures delivers comprehensive rejuvenation with just one recovery period.
The Eyelid Surgery Procedure
Dr. Tran performs blepharoplasty with precision and an eye for balance. Here’s what patients can expect:
-
Consultation
Your journey begins with a personal consultation at our Huntington Beach office. Dr. Tran evaluates your eyelids, facial anatomy, and overall health before recommending a customized plan. -
Anesthesia
The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, ensuring patient comfort throughout surgery. -
Incisions
-
For the upper eyelids, incisions are placed in the natural eyelid crease.
-
For the lower eyelids, incisions are hidden just below the lash line or inside the lower eyelid.
-
-
Tissue Adjustment
Excess skin is trimmed, muscles are tightened, and fat deposits are repositioned or removed. -
Closure
Dr. Tran closes incisions meticulously, leaving scars that are nearly invisible once healed.
Recovery and Results
-
Initial Recovery: Most patients experience mild swelling and bruising for about 1–2 weeks.
-
Downtime: Many return to work within 7–10 days.
-
Final Results: As swelling subsides, the eyes appear brighter, more youthful, and naturally refreshed.
Dr. Tran provides detailed aftercare instructions and schedules follow-up visits to ensure safe healing and optimal outcomes.
