Cosmetic Eye Surgery

The blepharoplasty is one of the most popular cosmetic eye surgery options in Los Angeles. This cosmetic surgery alters the appearance of the eyes by removing the excess skin and fat from the upper and/or lower eyelids. The two main distinctions for the blepharoplasty are the targeted location. This cosmetic eye surgery can be tailored to meet the needs of each individual. At CK Plastic Surgery, Dr. Kim offers an Upper Blepharoplasty, targeting the excess skin and fat from the upper eyelid which removes an often tired and heavy look from the eyes, as well as a Lower Blepharoplasty that targets the sagging skin, puffiness, and dark circles under the eye area.

Which Blepharoplasty Treatment is for Me?

Often times, individuals come to Dr. Kim wondering which eye procedure will be best for them. When considering your cosmetic blepharoplasty, it is important to understand the distinctions of each type, as both are tailored for specific desires.

Upper Blepharoplasty

Targeting the appearance of the upper eyelids, this blepharoplasty is for individuals who want to create an upper eyelid fold. During the Upper Blepharoplasty procedure, Dr. Kim creates a small incision along the upper eyelid, removing the targeted excess skin and fat, which will then create a permanent crease.

Lower Blepharoplasty

This procedure is fit for individuals wanting to address their lower eye area to surgically address their sagging skin and dark circles. During the Lower Blepharoplasty procedure Dr. Kim removes and tightens excess fat and skin from the lower eyelid area, which results in less sagging, puffiness, and bags.

In addition to these two procedures, Dr. Kim offers a more personalized treatment aimed at creating a more defined upper eyelid crease, which is called the Asian Eyelid Surgery, commonly referred to as a Double Eyelid Surgery.

What is the Recovery Like?

After our patients have their blepharoplsaty procedure, they experience minimal downtime, alongside discreet scarring. Most patients resume social activities within a 7 day period, as this allows the minimal swelling to further decrease.
