As we age, many of us notice the puffiness of our lower eyelids. This is due to excess fat accumulation. Not uncommonly, this worsens with allergies or the time of the day.
To minimize these bags, a minor surgical procedure is performed. This procedure is called (Blepharoplasty) or commonly known as eyelid surgery. Blepharoplasty can be peformed on the upper eyelid, lower eyelid, or both.
A small incision is made on the inside of the lower eyelid, and the excess fat is removed. The overlying skin shrinks and contracts leaving a flat lower eyelid. Occasionally, laser therapy is performed at the same time to smooth the skin and minimize the wrinkles. When there is a lot of excess lower eyelid skin, some skin is removed.
Patients are back to work within a few days. There is essentially no discomfort following this procedure.
I find that patients are extremely satisfied with the results of this procedure.

While most patients seeking cosmetic surgery are females, men are also excellent candidates for facial and body rejuvenation.

Men commonly develop bags of the lower eyelids and loose skin of the neck and are common candidates for Rhinoplasty. My male patients constantly complain of all the loose skin in their necks. This is corrected with a necklift. In some patients, a direct excision of neck skin is indicated.
Male patients have less bruising of their skin than women. Recovery is fast!!!! Most men are back to work at one week. After performing hundreds of these surgeries, and being considered an Orange County Male cosmetic surgery specialist; I have found my male patients to be extremely pleased with this surgery.
