San Francisco Asian Eyelid Surgery

In order to rejuvenate and refresh your facial appearance, you may want to consider cosmetic surgery. Joseph A. Mele, M.D., F.A.C.S. often performs eyelid surgery in San Francisco, at his Walnut Creek, to reduce the appearance of “tired-looking” eyes. If you are in need of facial rejuvenation due to sagging skin in the upper eyelids or droopiness in the lower eyelids, Dr. Mele can perform eyelid surgery (“blepharoplasty”).

Eyelid Augmentation Surgery

As someone ages, the delicate skin around the eyes begins to sag and wrinkle. Therefore, in order to correct this, Dr. Mele offers the upper and/or lower eyelid surgery procedure. During this type of surgery, Dr. Mele will remove excess fat and muscle from the upper eyelids and, if necessary, excise fatty tissue from the lower eyelids. The remaining skin is tightened, and the incision is sutured. When performing blepharoplasty, Dr. Mele is also able to improve vision, enhance the appearance of the eyes, and restore a youthful look.

He also offers Asian eyelid surgery. Typically, there is no crease among Asian eyelids, which can make it hard for make-up application. San Francisco Asian eyelid surgery professional Dr. Mele can suture the eyelid to create a more “westernized” appearance or more ethnic appearance.
