San Diego Eyelid Surgery

The eyes are one of the most prominent features of the face, which is why many individuals who show early signs of aging often opt to undergo cosmetic plastic surgery. At Del Mar Plastic Surgery in San Diego, eyelid surgery is performed by Larry H. Pollack, M.D., F.A.C.S. This facial rejuvenating procedure can help to diminish the appearance of aged, tired-looking eyes. Along with a warm and professional staff, Dr. Pollack provides patients with personalized care throughout their surgical experience.

What can cosmetic eyelid surgery do for me?

Designed to achieve a more refreshed and youthful appearance, eyelid surgery (“blepharoplasty”) can help to improve sagging eyelids, both upper and lower. Excess skin and fat in the upper eyelids may cause vision problems, which can be corrected by removing a crescent-shaped piece of skin and muscle from the middle of the eyelid. Incisions are hidden in the natural crease and scarring is minimal post-surgery. Lower eyelid surgery can be performed through an incision made along the lower lash line or inside the lower eyelid. Based on the cause of bulging, the appropriate technique will be chosen. In addition, patients of Asian descent who lack a crease in the upper eyelids may undergo “double eyelid surgery.” Further information regarding this procedure can be obtained during an appointment.

Along with eyelid surgery, La Jolla and San Diego patients have combined other facial procedures in order to achieve an overall enhancement, such as a browlift surgery (“forehead lift”) and facelift surgery (“rhytidectomy”). By combining these surgeries, a younger-looking appearance may be achieved.

Examples of patient results can be viewed in before and after eyelid surgery photos, and insight to the care provided by Dr. Pollack and his staff can be gained from reading patient testimonials.
