Lower eyelid surgery improves dark circles that are more common in darker skin tones, removes puffy pockets of fat (under-eye bags), sagging skin, as well as wrinkles from under the eyes.

The Lower Blepharoplasty Procedure in Newport Beach
Dr. Ho Taghva’s customized lower blepharoplasty procedures are performed in Newport Beach at the Medicare-accredited GALEA Center for Advanced Surgery, which holds the highest level of accreditation for an outpatient ambulatory surgery center.
The plastic surgeon typically performs lower blepharoplasty as an outpatient procedure with a local anesthetic, however, IV sedation and even general anesthesia may be used in some cases. The procedure may include upper blepharoplasty or additional cosmetic treatments, as per the surgical plan created during the consultation.
Lower Eyelid Surgery
Dr. Goretti Ho Taghva creates a small incision just below the lashes in the natural crease or inside the lower lid. She then redistributes or removes the excess fat and tightens sagging skin and muscle to smooth out bags and wrinkles. After that, the sutures are strategically placed to allow exceptional healing without scars.
Upper Eyelid Surgery
The plastic surgeon may address the upper eye area in addition to the lower lids if the patient requests it. Dr. Ho Taghva makes a small incision along the fold of the upper lid before removing excess skin, fat, and muscle. She strategically closes the incision to ensure exceptional healing without visible scars.
