Upper Eye Lid Lift

Upper eye lid lift, also known as blepharoplasty, is one of the most common procedures performed in a Facial Plastic Surgery Office. Most men and women start to see the signs of aging around their eyes in their early thirties. As time progresses the upper eye lid skin becomes more prominent and in some instances may interfere with their vision.

The procedure to correct this issue involves a surgical procedure that is usually performed under local anesthesia. For the upper eye lid lift, an incision is made in the crease of the upper eye lid to remove the excess skin and fat as needed. The objective is to bring back a more youthful and natural look. The incision is place in the fold and as time progresses it usually becomes very difficult to detect.

The recovery from eye lid surgery is very rapid and one can usually return to normal activity within a week.

Like any other surgery the surgeon needs to be experienced in facial plastic surgery to obtain the best result.

Zerona Laser

Melt Fat With Zero Pain and Zero Down Time Using Zerona

Zerona Laser is a low level laser that penetrates through the skin and is specifically absorbed by the fat cells. The laser beam releases the liquefied fat molecules from the fat cells. Some of these liquefied fat molecules are excreted through the feces and urine and others are taken back up by the fat cells. Repeating the Zerona treatment causes more of the fat molecules to be excreted, helping to further reduce the size of the area treated.
The most common areas treated with Zerona are the thighs, hips and lower abdomen. After six sessions of Zerona the majority of the patients report a significant reduction in the fat. One can expect a combined loss of 3-9 inches from the waist, hips and thighs and a reduction in the size of clothes.
Zerona treatments are completely painless and each session takes 40 minutes.

Face Lift Gimmicks

Currently there are several Face Lift procedures being advertised in the media which promise a very short surgical time and fast recovery. These procedures include the Life Style lift and the MAC-lift. Patients need to be aware that Face Lift surgery is a very specialized procedure requiring expertise and training. Each individual has a different facial characteristic and thus requires a different Face Lift that is specific to him/her.

The Facial Plastic Surgeon evaluates the patient for a Face Lift considering the medical history, skin type, facial structure, and patient’s desires.

He will prepare the patient for the surgery, perform the appropriate face lift and keep a close eye on the patient as she recovers. Patients need to select their Facial Plastic Surgeon carefully and speak to the prior patients. Dr. Moradi is a San Diego Facial Plastic Surgeon and has been performing Face Lifts in San Diego for the last 9 years. Dr Moradi’s patients volunteer to speak to other patients regarding their experience with their surgeries.
