Are under-eye hollows or bags leaving you looking tired, aged, or even unwell? Dr. Garcia our highly skilled and experienced oculofacial plastic surgeon at Desert Eyesthetics is pleased to offer dermal fillers and lower eyelid surgery to restore your youthful, rested appearance. So, what’s the best way to treat under-eye hollows? Let’s explore your options.
Under-eye hollows, also known as “tear troughs,” are the sunken areas beneath the eyes that can leave you with dark circles, shadows, and an overall tired appearance. They can result from the loss of hyaluronic acid, fat, and collagen over time, leaving you with a hollow, puffy, or discolored appearance.
The good news is that both dermal fillers and lower eyelid blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) offer effective solutions to address under-eye hollows. The ideal option for you will depend on the severity of your concerns, your unique needs, your personal goals, and your lifestyle.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a substance the body produces that helps maintain skin hydration, volume, suppleness, and elasticity. As the years go by, HA production diminishes, leading to signs of aging, including under-eye hollows, bags, and dark circles.
Hyaluronic acid-based fillers, including Restylane, are ideal for restoring lost volume and minimizing under-eye hollows, lines, bags, and dark circles. The innovative cosmetic injectable will leave you with a more youthful, vibrant appearance, all without surgery or downtime. Treatment results can last for several months, after which periodic touch-ups will help you maintain your rejuvenated appearance.
Lower eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is an outpatient procedure that Dr. Garcia performs under IV sedation and local anesthesia for your comfort. The procedure involves making a small incision on the inner part of the eyelid or in the eyelid skin. Dr. Garcia will sculpt and reposition the fat to restore your natural lower eyelid contours and close the incision with fine sutures.
Recovery may involve some swelling and bruising, which typically subside over 2-3 weeks. The results of treatment are impressive, virtually erasing your under-eye hollows and restoring your youthful, rested appearance.
Choosing between dermal fillers and lower eyelid surgery depends on several factors, including the severity of your under-eye hollows, the presence of excess skin or fat, your desired downtime, and how long you want your results to last. In general, dermal fillers can be ideal for patients with mild to moderate hollows, minimal skin laxity, and no prominent eye bags. They are especially popular among those seeking a quick boost with minimal downtime.
For individuals with more advanced signs of aging, excess skin, or prominent fat pads under the eyes, lower eyelid surgery may offer a more effective solution. Unlike dermal fillers, blepharoplasty delivers long-lasting results, making it ideal for patients wanting a lasting transformation.
Depending on your unique needs, Dr. Garcia may recommend a combination of dermal fillers and surgery. Surgery can correct structural concerns, while fillers can refine and enhance your final treatment outcomes. During your initial consultation, Dr. Garcia will evaluate your under-eye area and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan to deliver beautifully balanced and natural results. Her goal is always to enhance your appearance and help you look like the best version of yourself.
If you are looking for solutions to address under-eye hollows, contact Desert Eyesthetics to schedule a consultation. Dr. Garcia may recommend dermal fillers lower eyelid surgery or a combination of both to restore your youthful, vibrant appearance. Our acclaimed oculoplastic surgeon has extensive experience offering both surgical and non-surgical eyelid rejuvenation, ensuring you achieve the best possible treatment outcomes.

At Desert Eyesthetics, we proudly offer BBL therapy, harnessing the power of light to address a range of skin concerns and enhance your skin’s natural beauty. From erasing the signs of aging and sun damage to lifting sagging skin, eliminating acne outbreaks, and permanent hair reduction, BBL therapy may be the perfect solution to address your specific needs. Dr. Garcia and her team tailor your treatments to reveal your best skin yet.
Broadband Light (BBL) therapy is an innovative, non-invasive technology that uses intense pulsed light (IPL) to target various skin concerns with exceptional precision. Unlike lasers, which use a single wavelength, BBL delivers a broad spectrum of light wavelengths, allowing us to customize your treatments to address specific skin types and concerns.
The controlled delivery of light energy triggers the skin’s natural healing processes, promoting collagen production and skin cell regeneration. Not only does BBL therapy address visible imperfections on the skin’s surface, but it also works at the molecular level, restoring your even, youthful complexion.
The following are the BBL treatment options we offer at Desert Eyesthetics:
BBL Hero: BBL Hero is a powerful, intense pulsed light (IPL) device that offers a quick and effective solution for rejuvenating aging and sun-damaged skin on the arms, legs, chest, shoulders, and virtually anywhere on the body. The innovative technology reverses the visible signs of aging and sun damage, including age spots, sunspots, redness, or dull-looking skin. BBL Hero can rejuvenate your skin with little to no discomfort or downtime.
Forever Young BBL: Forever Young BBL targets a wide range of skin concerns at the molecular level. BBL light therapy, also known as photorejuvenation, softens the visible signs of aging and sun damage, leaving you with a more even skin tone and texture. Treatment areas are those most exposed to the sun’s harmful rays, including the face, neck, back of the hands, shoulders, and chest.
Forever Clear BBL: Forever Clear BBL is a non-invasive acne treatment that uses a unique, 3-step treatment protocol to effectively clear teen and adult acne without creams or medication, delivering your clearest, most radiant skin. The world’s most powerful IPL device delivers intense pulsed light deep into the skin, eliminating acne-causing bacteria deep within the pores, clearing acne breakouts, and reducing the risk of future ones. The results? A beautifully clear and radiant complexion.
SkinTyte: SkinTyte offers a revolutionary solution for lifting sagging skin without surgery or downtime. Infrared light heats the skin’s deeper layers, while controlled cooling keeps the surface layers protected. Light energy, delivered in rapid, gentle pulses, helps activate the body’s natural healing processes, lifting and tightening the skin from within and leaving you looking your best from every angle.
Forever Bare: Forever Bare is a safe and comfortable hair removal system that can permanently reduce hair from different areas of the body, including your underarms, bikini line, back, chest, face, and legs. The device delivers concentrated light into unwanted hair follicles, where it is absorbed by pigments called melanin. This helps destroy the hair follicles while leaving your surrounding skin intact. A series of treatments will leave you with smooth, silky, and hair-free skin with no downtime!

Are you seeking a powerful skin rejuvenation solution for noticeable results with minimal downtime? Desert Eyestheticsis pleased to offer Halo Hybrid Fractional Resurfacing, your key to achieving a healthy, radiant complexion. The revolutionary laser technology targets the signs of aging, sun damage, and uneven skin tone, leaving you with smoother, brighter, and more youthful-looking skin.
Halo hybrid fractional resurfacing is a cutting-edge skin treatment that uses ablative and non-ablative laser wavelengths to address a wide range of skin concerns. This dual approach allows us to treat the deeper layers of skin to stimulate collagen while also refreshing the surface layer, all in one treatment. Unlike traditional laser resurfacing, Halo offers less downtime and faster healing, making it a sought-after choice for those seeking excellent results without missing work or everyday activities.
Halo hybrid fractional laser resurfacing is effective on the face, neck, chest, hands, or any area where you want smoother, healthier-looking skin. Many patients choose the Halo Laser in Gilbert, AZ, to address a wide range of complexion concerns, including the following:
Our patients love the Halo Hybrid Fractional Laser because it offers stunning transformations with minimal downtime compared to traditional laser treatments. One of the greatest advantages is that Halo is fully customizable. Dr. Garcia can adjust the intensity of treatment to suit your specific skin type and your aesthetic goals. Halo is safe for most skin tones and offers long-lasting results that unfold over time as the skin continues to produce new collagen.
Unlike traditional laser treatments, Halo often delivers noticeable improvements in fewer visits. Whether you’re preparing for a special event, want to refresh your look, or simply want healthier, more radiant skin, Halo delivers impressive, visible results with minimal recovery.
When you visit Desert Eyesthetics for Halo Hybrid Resurfacing, we begin with a personalized consultation to discuss your skin goals and determine if Halo is right for you.
Here’s a look at what you can expect:
After your transformative procedure, you will begin to notice smoother, brighter skin within a matter of days. The stunning results will continue to improve over time as your body produces more collagen.
Halo laser treatments provide long-lasting improvements to your skin’s appearance and texture. To maintain those results, it’s important to use UV sunscreen to protect your treated skin from the sun’s harmful rays.
A single Halo session can produce a significant improvement in your skin’s health and appearance. However, additional treatment sessions can further enhance your results over time. Dr. Garcia will evaluate your skin’s unique needs and recommend the ideal number of sessions to deliver your best skin yet. You may opt for one or two deeper treatments or a series of less intense treatments over a period of time to achieve your desired aesthetic goals. We typically recommend follow-up treatments every 1-2 years to maintain your skin’s youthful glow.

Looking for solutions to soften the signs of aging, including fine lines and wrinkles? If so, you may want to consider wrinkle relaxers, such as Botox or Jeauveau, proudly brought to you by Desert Eyesthetics. Dr. Garcia, our experienced physician, will tailor your treatment to address your unique needs, restoring your youthful contours. Be prepared to be amazed!
Repeated expressions or facial movements like smiling, laughing, frowning, or drinking through a straw can leave you with dynamic lines and wrinkles, and we at Desert Eyesthetics are here to help. We may recommend wrinkle relaxers, such as Botox or Jeauveau, to reduce forehead wrinkles, “frown” lines between the eyebrows, crow’s feet around the eyes, and unwanted lines in other areas.
But how do wrinkle relaxers work? These injectable neuromodulators are derived from a purified form of the botulinum toxin type A. They safely and effectively block nerve signals to muscles responsible for contractions, visibly reducing folds, lines, creases, and wrinkles while maintaining natural facial expression.
Dr. Garcia will thoroughly evaluate your unique needs and aesthetic goals to plan treatment. Next, she will use ultra-fine needles to inject Botox or Jeuveau into targeted muscles with minimal pain or discomfort. You will not require downtime, meaning you can go about your daily activities right after treatment without interruption.
You can expect minimal discomfort, and depending on the treatment area, only minor swelling and slight bruising may occur for a few hours. Your facial lines and wrinkles should start fading within two or three days, with the full effects of treatment apparent in about two weeks and peaking in about a month.
The dramatic results of treatment typically last three to four months, after which the lines, folds, and wrinkles gradually appear once again. Touch-up treatments will ensure you continue to enjoy your wrinkle-free, youthful complexion. With continued treatments, the muscles are trained to relax, meaning the effects of treatment will last longer, requiring less frequent maintenance in the future.
Aside from their cosmetic uses, our injectable neurotoxins offer therapeutic applications, including addressing blepharospasm, a condition characterized by repeated blinking or uncontrollable eyelid twitching. Moreover, some patients suffer from hemifacial spasms, which can cause muscle shaking and spasms that start with the eyelid and extend to the cheek and mouth. Botox or Jeuveau can relax the facial muscles that cause the twitching, helping relieve your symptoms and enhancing your quality of life.
During treatment, Dr. Garcia will inject tiny amounts of botulinum toxin into your eyelid muscles to relax them and relieve the spasms. The exceptional treatment results can last three to four months, after which you will need retreatment to keep those twitches under control.
Botulinum toxin treatment can often enhance the effects of other cosmetic treatments. Many of our patients here at Desert Eyesthetics choose the “Wrinkle-Fighting Duo,” a combination of botulinum toxin and filler. We typically use Juvederm or Restylane products to fill in existing wrinkles and Botox or Jeuveau to prevent new wrinkles from forming. The two cosmetic injectables can work together to leave you looking more youthful for longer.
Trusting our board-certified, fellowship-trained oculofacial plastic specialist for your cosmetic injectable needs will ensure the best possible outcomes and minimize the risk of complications. Dr. Garcia’s extensive experience, exceptional skill, steady hands, and eye for balance and beauty provide precision and confidence you can count on for safe, natural-looking results.
Looking for solutions to soften the signs of aging, including fine lines and wrinkles? If so, you may want to consider botulinum toxin injections, proudly brought to you by Desert Eyesthetics. Dr. Garcia will personalize your treatments to skillfully and artistically deliver your desired outcomes. We invite you to call us at 480-454-7130 to schedule your appointment today!
At Desert Eyesthetics, we understand the concern that eyelid skin cancer diagnosis can bring. Dr. Garcia, our board-certified oculoplastic surgeon, has the skill, experience, and expertise to repair your eyelids and restore their function and natural appearance. You can always expect personalized, compassionate care and service that exceed your expectations!
Your eyelids play an important role in enhancing your appearance and protecting your eyes from environmental factors. They also help maintain moisture, spreading tears each time you blink.
Healthy cells sometimes change, forming masses called tumors, which are often benign, meaning they can grow but will not spread. Cancerous growths, on the other hand, can spread to different parts of the body, posing a health risk.
The following are the most common types of eyelid cancer:
The leading cause of eyelid skin cancer is prolonged ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun, making it a particular concern in our sunny Arizona climate. Factors such as age, fair skin, and family history can also increase the risk, as can a weakened immune system. The sooner eyelid cancer is diagnosed and treated, the better the long-term outcomes.
Symptoms of eyelid cancer may include the following:
If you notice any of these symptoms or if you have any other concerns, contact Desert Eyesthetics for a prompt evaluation. Treating eyelid cancer in its earliest stages offers the best chances to stop its spread.
Diagnosing eyelid cancer begins with a biopsy, which involves collecting a tissue sample for examination under a microscope. Sometimes, a biopsy completely removes the tumor, eliminating the need for further treatment. Melanoma and sebaceous gland carcinomas typically need more aggressive treatment protocols to prevent them from spreading.
Depending on your unique situation, Dr Garcia may recommend referral to a Mohs Surgeon for complete cancer excision. After removing the tumor, our experienced oculoplastic surgeon will reconstruct your eyelid to enhance its appearance, ensure proper function, protect your eyes, and preserve your vision.
Contact Desert Eyesthetics to learn more about eyelid cancer diagnosis and repair. Treatment and reconstruction require delicate, highly skilled techniques to remove the cancer in its entirety and reconstruct the area for optimal function. Dr. Garcia is an experienced oculoplastic surgeon with the skill and expertise to deliver the best possible outcomes. We invite you to call us at 480-454-7130 to schedule your appointment today!
At Desert Eyesthetics, we proudly offer dermal filler options to address under-eye hollows and bags and restore your youthful, rested appearance. We customize your treatments to your unique needs, ensuring you achieve beautifully natural, lasting results. Here’s a look at how dermal fillers can turn back the hands of time and reduce under-eye hollows.
Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance in the body that helps maintain hydration, volume, suppleness, and elasticity. As the years go by, the skin naturally produces less hyaluronic acid, leading to tell-tale signs of aging, including under-eye hollows and bags. These changes can result in shadows and dark circles under the eyes that leave you with an aged, worn-out, exhausted appearance.
At Desert Eyesthetics, we offer hyaluronic acid-based fillers, including Restylane, to restore lost volume and minimize under-eye hollows, bags, dark circles, and fine lines. Our fillers rejuvenate the entire under-eye region, restoring your vibrant, youthful appearance with beautifully natural results.
Restylane is an FDA-approved dermal filler specifically formulated to act like the hyaluronic acid your body produces, providing natural support. The innovative filler formulation can address the delicate under-eye area. Its unique texture allows for targeted product placement, delivering exceptional treatment outcomes. Restylane has years of clinically proven safety worldwide and is ideal for virtually all skin types and tones.
Restylane is ideal for those wanting to smooth under-eye hollows, minimize dark circles, and refresh their under-eye appearance without surgery and the associated downtime. Treatment results can last for months, after which touch-ups will help you maintain your rejuvenated appearance.
The best way to determine whether dermal filler injections for under-eye hollows are right for you is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Garcia. Our skilled and experienced Oculofacial Plastic Surgeon will evaluate your under-eye area and recommend the ideal treatment option to help you achieve your desired goals. Dr. Garcia is always happy to discuss your concerns, answer any questions, and create a custom treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.
The dermal filler process is quick, with minimal discomfort. Before treatment, we recommend avoiding blood-thinning medications or supplements. On the day of treatment, please come ready for your transformation with a clean face and no makeup.
Dr. Garcia will start by gently numbing the eyelid area using a nerve block, allowing for a pain-free treatment experience. When you are ready, she will use ultra-fine needles to inject your filler into the targeted area with precision. Next, Dr. Garcia will carefully sculpt the filler to create natural-looking results.
After treatment, you may experience mild tenderness, swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection sites, which typically subside within a few days. We recommend avoiding strenuous activity and sun exposure in the days following the procedure. Our team will provide you with aftercare instructions to help promote healing and ensure optimal treatment outcomes. If you have questions or concerns in the days following treatment, please don’t hesitate to contact our team at Desert Eyesthetics.
If you are looking for solutions to significantly improve under-eye hollows and restore your rested, vibrant appearance, contact Desert Eyesthetics to schedule a consultation.

As the years go by, the natural aging process, environmental factors, and sun damage can lead to droopy and saggy eyelids that not only alter the natural shape and appearance of your eyes but can also affect your vision. At Desert Eyesthetics, we offer upper and lower blepharoplasty, or eyelid lifts, to restore your youthful, refreshed appearance. Here’s an overview of what to expect, how to prepare for surgery, and tips for a smooth recovery.
Blepharoplasty, or an eyelid lift, is a surgical procedure designed to lift your eyelids, improving their appearance and function. It involves removing any excess skin or fat to reduce under-eye puffiness, rejuvenate tired-looking eyes, minimize dark circles, and reduce or eliminate peripheral vision problems. Depending on your unique needs, you may require an upper or lower eyelid blepharoplasty procedure or both.
A blepharoplasty is an outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia. We are happy to offer light sedation, if needed, for your comfort. During an upper eyelid blepharoplasty, Dr. Garcia, our accomplished Oculofacial Plastic Surgeon, will make a small incision in your upper eyelid crease, remove excess skin, fat, and muscle, and reshape your eyelid. A lower eyelid blepharoplasty, on the other hand, involves sculpting and repositioning the fat in the area, reducing under-eye bags, and leaving your eyes looking refreshed and rested.
Preparing for your blepharoplasty can help ensure a smooth procedure and the best possible outcomes. The following are some general guidelines:
Your eyes may feel blurry, and you may experience mild to moderate swelling and bruising, which typically resolve over a couple weeks. Most people are able to return to work in about a week. Your incision should look well healed in 2-3 weeks, with complete healing taking a few months.
Here are some things you can do to promote healing and recovery:
If you’re considering blepharoplasty, Dr. Garcia and her team at Desert Eyesthetics are committed to providing you with the best care and patient experience. We’re always happy to answer your questions and address your concerns to ensure you are well-informed about your options. Ready to see the world with fresh eyes? We invite you to call 480-454-7130 to schedule your appointment today!
Are you considering eye surgery to rejuvenate your appearance or improve your vision? If so, you are in good hands. Dr. Garcia, our accomplished Oculofacial Plastic Surgeon at Desert Eyesthetics, will skillfully and artistically address your unique concerns, restoring your youthful and refreshed appearance. She may also recommend laser resurfacing before or after surgery to enhance your treatment outcomes.
At Desert Eyesthetics, we offer surgical and non-surgical solutions to transform the appearance of your eyes. One of our most sought-after procedures is blepharoplasty, also known as a lower or upper eyelid lift. The procedure addresses droopy, saggy eyelids, restoring your eyelid function and your refreshed and youthful appearance.
While blepharoplasty can produce dramatic results as a standalone treatment, combining it with laser resurfacing can maximize its benefits. Halo Hybrid fractional laser resurfacing is customized to your unique needs, further improving the appearance of your eyes. The revolutionary technology eliminates years of damage, improving the appearance of tone, texture, fine lines, wrinkles, and dark circles around the eyes, restoring your skin’s youthful glow. We also offer Contour TRL, a more aggressive resurfacing option that provides dramatic results, especially for the lower eyelid skin, but comes with a longer recovery period.
A blepharoplasty, or eyelid lift, refreshes the appearance of your eyes by removing any excess skin or fat, which helps reduce under-eye puffiness, rejuvenates tired-looking eyes, and minimizes dark circles. It can also reduce or eliminate peripheral vision problems resulting from droopy eyelids.
Laser resurfacing with Halo is fully customized to fit your lifestyle. It creates small thermal injuries that trigger the skin’s healing processes, encouraging the growth of healthy, new skin cells to replace the old, damaged ones. The procedure significantly improves the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and discoloration and improves your skin’s tone and texture. Halo is frequently done to the entire face, with healing typically taking about a week.
Contour TRL, on the other hand, penetrates deep into the skin, minimizing the most stubborn imperfections, such as the appearance of scars, wrinkles, and rough texture, delivering a vibrant, healthy complexion. It can be performed just on the lower eyelid skin or on the entire face, with healing typically occurring over several weeks.
Laser resurfacing can be performed before or after your blepharoplasty procedure, depending on your unique needs. When performed before surgery, it helps improve your skin’s texture, making it more pliable and easier to manipulate during surgery. When performed after your blepharoplasty, it helps smooth out any remaining lines, wrinkles, or unevenness in the skin around the eyes.
Contact Desert Eyesthetics to learn more about refreshing your eyelid appearance. Dr. Garcia will evaluate your unique needs and recommend the most conservative solution to deliver your desired outcomes. She may recommend a combination of laser resurfacing and eyelid surgery to enhance your treatment results. Looking to restore your rested and rejuvenated eye appearance? We invite you to call 480-454-7130 to schedule your appointment today!
Are you looking for solutions to lift and rejuvenate sagging or drooping eyelids? If so, an eyelid lift, a procedure known as blepharoplasty, may be right for you. Dr. Garcia, our experienced Oculofacial Plastic Surgeon at Desert Eyesthetics, will skillfully and artistically address your concerns to restore a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
Over time, the natural aging process and years of exposure to the sun’s harmful rays can lead to the eyelids stretching and the muscles supporting them weakening. This often leads to excess fat accumulation above and below the eyelids, resulting in droopy upper eyelids, sagging brows, and under-eye bags. Not only do droopy eyelids leave you with an aging appearance, but they can also reduce your peripheral or side vision.
A blepharoplasty, or eyelid lift, refreshes your eyes by removing excess skin or fat, refreshing the appearance of your eyes, and leaving you with a more youthful, vibrant appearance. It helps reduce puffiness under the eyes, rejuvenates tired-looking eyes, and minimizes dark circles. Most importantly, an eyelid lift can reduce or even eliminate vision problems, enhancing your quality of life.
Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty: An upper eyelid lift is an outpatient procedure we perform under local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. We also offer light IV sedation, if needed, to help you relax during treatment. Dr. Garcia will start by making a small incision that’s hidden in the upper eyelid crease and gently removing any excess skin, small pockets of fat, and a small strip of muscle. Next, she will contour and reshape your upper eyelid, leaving you with a more youthful, refreshed appearance.
Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty: The outpatient procedure is performed under local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. We also offer light IV sedation, if needed, to help you relax during treatment. Your lower eyelid blepharoplasty involves making an incision on the inner part of the eyelid or in the eyelid crease. If you have excessive skin in the lower lid, Dr. Garcia will make the incision right below the lashes. Next, she will sculpt and reposition the fat to restore the lower lid’s natural contours and close the incision with fine sutures. The procedure eliminates the excess fatty tissue causing under-eye bags, leaving you with a more energetic and less tired appearance.
Combined Upper and Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty: An upper and lower blepharoplasty can be performed together, delivering a more defined eyelid contour and a youthful, refreshed appearance. Dr. Garcia will recommend the most conservative solution to help you achieve your desired treatment outcomes.
Following your eyelid lift, you’ll need to cover your eyes intermittently with cool gauze and sleep in an elevated position for a few days. Your eyesight may seem blurry, which is perfectly normal and no cause for alarm. You may have minimal discomfort, which you can easily control with pain relief medication. You may also have mild swelling and bruising, which should resolve within seven to ten days. If you have any questions or concerns in the days following surgery, make sure to contact us for guidance.
Most people are able to return to their normal daily activities in about a week. The incision should look much better in two to three weeks, with complete healing taking a few months. Upper and lower eyelid lifts deliver long-lasting, beautifully natural outcomes.
