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. 

Maximizing Your Treatment Results

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.   

What Can You Expect During Your Blepharoplasty Procedure? 

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. 

• Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty: An upper eyelid lift is an outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia and light sedation, if needed, for your comfort. Dr. Garcia will make an incision in the upper eyelid crease and remove excess skin, fat pockets, and a small strip of muscle before contouring and reshaping your eyelid. You will be amazed at how refreshed and youthful your eyes appear. 
• Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty: A lower eyelid lift is an outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia and light sedation, if needed, for your comfort. Dr. Garcia will make an incision to access, sculpt, and reposition the fat. The procedure smooths out the fatty tissue causing under-eye bags, leaving your eyes with a more youthful, vibrant appearance. 
• Combined Upper and Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty: A combined upper and lower blepharoplasty can create more defined eyelid contours and a youthful, rested appearance. Dr. Garcia always recommends the most conservative solutions to deliver your desired treatment outcomes.

How Does Skin Resurfacing Enhance Your Treatment Outcomes? 

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.
