Life-Changing Results
Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) in Newport Beach
Your eyes are often the first place people notice signs of aging. When the upper lids feel heavy or the lower lids look puffy, you may look more tired than you feel.
At Pacific Center for Plastic Surgery, eyelid surgery in Newport Beach is designed to refresh the eye area in a way that looks natural—never overdone—while also improving function when needed.
What Is Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)?
Blepharoplasty—commonly called eyelid surgery—is a procedure that removes or repositions excess skin and fat around the eyes.
Your blepharoplasty in Newport Beach is fully customized based on what you’re noticing:
Why Patients Choose Eyelid Surgery
The eye area is often one of the first places where small changes become noticeable. Eyelid surgery is designed to address those changes in a way that feels natural—helping you look more rested and aligned with how you feel, without altering your overall appearance.
Brighter, More Rested Eyes
Excess skin on the upper lids or puffiness under the eyes can create a heavier look. Eyelid surgery removes that weight, helping the eyes appear more open, alert, and naturally refreshed.
Improved Field of Vision
For some patients, loose upper eyelid skin can begin to interfere with peripheral vision. Removing that excess skin not only improves appearance, but can also make everyday activities like reading or driving feel easier.
Smoother Under-Eye Contour
Lower eyelid surgery addresses under-eye bags and puffiness by repositioning or removing fat. The result is a smoother transition from the lower eyelid to the cheek, rather than a hollow or bulging appearance.
Reduction in Fine Lines and Skin Laxity
By tightening and refining the skin around the eyes, eyelid surgery can soften fine lines and improve overall skin texture, especially along the lower lids.
Long-Lasting Improvement
Because the procedure addresses excess skin and underlying structure, results tend to hold over time, often lasting for years without the need for ongoing treatments.
How Eyelid Surgery Is Performed at Our Newport Beach Clinic
Eyelid surgery with our board-certified surgeons in Newport Beach is designed around your specific anatomy and what you’re looking to improve. We typically perform the procedure on an outpatient basis and it takes about 1–2 hours.
Step 1: Consultation and Planning
Your surgeon evaluates your eyelids and overall facial balance to design a plan that removes or repositions only what’s necessary, keeping results natural.
Step 2: Anesthesia and Comfort
Most procedures are done with local anesthesia and light sedation, with general anesthesia as an option if desired, so you’re comfortable and relaxed throughout.
Step 3: Discreet Incisions
Incisions are placed within natural creases or inside the eyelid, allowing access to the underlying tissue while keeping them well concealed.
Step 4: Refinement of Skin and Fat
Excess skin is removed, and fat is either repositioned or reduced to create a smoother, more even contour without overcorrection.
Step 5: Closure and Healing
Fine sutures support clean healing, with the goal of minimal visible scarring and a natural result as the area settles.
What Is Recovery Like After Eyelid Surgery?
Recovery after blepharoplasty in Newport Beach is typically quick compared to many other facial procedures.
| Timeframe | What to Expect | Care Tips |
| First 3–5 Days | Swelling, bruising, mild discomfortSensitivity to light or watery eyes | Use cold compressesKeep head elevatedUse prescribed eye drops |

Your surgeon will guide you through recovery based on your specific procedure and healing process.
Who Is a Candidate for Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)?
You may be a good candidate for eyelid surgery in Newport Beach if you:
Have excess upper eyelid skin
Notice puffiness or bags under your eyes
Feel your eyes look tired or heavy
Experience vision obstruction from drooping lids
Are in good overall health
The best way to know what’s right for you is through a personalized consultation with one of our board-certified plastic surgeons. In some cases, eyelid surgery alone is enough, while in others, combining it with a brow lift can create a more balanced, natural-looking result.
Why Choose Pacific Center for Eyelid Surgery in Newport Beach?
The eye area is one of the most delicate and visible parts of the face, which makes precision especially important in eyelid surgery. Choosing the right surgeon is key to achieving natural, balanced results.
Here are some reasons patients trust us for eyelid surgery:
Board-Certified Surgeons in Newport Beach
Your procedure is performed by surgeons with extensive experience in upper and lower eyelid surgery.
100+ Years of Combined Experience
That experience shows in how much tissue is removed and how much is left alone. Our beautiful, natural results speak for themselves.
A Conservative, Balanced Approach
Taking too much skin or fat is what creates that hollow look. We avoid that.
Performed In-Office Under Local Anesthesia
Most eyelid procedures are done in our Newport Beach office with local anesthesia and sedation.
Advanced Techniques for Minimal Scarring
Incisions are placed in natural creases or inside the eyelid, where they heal extremely well.
Balanced, Natural Results
Rather than focusing on a single area, we consider how the brow and eyes work together to create a result that feels natural and in sync.

Hear From Our Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) Patients in Newport Beach
“I was comforted by the fact that I didn’t have to do general anesthesia, and of course, I only wanted to see a board-certified plastic surgeon in Newport Beach.”
Amazing results!! When I was considering plastic surgery, I had been feeling like my eyelids made me look tired. I did research, had my consultation and looked at the results for the upper eyelid blepharoplasty (they called it an “eyelid lift”). The whole consultation experience was very informative! Everyone at the office is warm and kind. I was comforted by the fact that I didn’t have to do general anesthesia, and of course, I only wanted to see a board-certified plastic surgeon in Newport Beach. The team was wonderful in helping me prepare for the procedure and what I needed to do when I went home after. When I had my surgery, it went wonderfully! It’s been a year, and I’m so happy with my choice!! You cannot see the incision lines at all. And more importantly, the results are so natural and beautiful. My eyes look brighter and more open. Can’t recommend enough!
Coco S.“The recovery was easier than I expected, and I love how refreshed and natural my eyes look now!”
I had an eyelid lift with Dr. Andre about 10 months ago, and I am absolutely thrilled with my results! I had been considering blepharoplasty for a while, and I’m so glad I finally went through with it. The entire experience at the Newport Beach office was incredible. Everyone was so kind, professional, and made me feel completely at ease. The recovery was easier than I expected, and I love how refreshed and natural my eyes look now! I was so happy with the outcome that I’ve already booked a surgical lip lift with Dr. Andre (hehe), which I’ll be doing under local anesthesia too! I’ll be seeing him this week and couldn’t be more excited 🙂
Amber M.“I was pain-free after my surgery and healed even quicker than I expected. I barely had any bruising! 5 stars all the way!!”
I am so glad and happy that I chose Pacific Center for Plastic Surgery! The entire experience was top-notch! I had been thinking about it for years before I had my blepharoplasty (eyelid lift) and chin liposuction. I had multiple consultations with surgeons, from Beverly Hills to Irvine to Newport Beach. Ultimately, I chose this place because I really trusted my surgeon; he was not pushy and did not tell me what I wanted to hear. I ended up doing a CO2 laser too, and I am so glad that I did. That wasn’t even something I thought that I needed, but WOW, what a difference!
Also, I didn’t need general anesthesia (which I have not had a good experience with in the past). I could literally do everything in their office. I wasn’t budget shopping, but that did save me some money, and it was what I preferred anyway, so it was a win-win.
It’s been almost a year since my facial rejuvenation, and I am very satisfied and happy with the results. It turned out better than I expected. I’ve tried a few treatments at the MedSpa too, and I buy my sunscreen there now, and everything has been great!
I totally recommend Pacific Center and the staff at their surgical center. They were so professional, kind, and my surgery went smoothly. I was pain-free after my surgery and healed even quicker than I expected. I barely had any bruising! 5 stars all the way!!
