Does your face feel deflated, and all the skin seems to be sagging? Are those jowls and turkey neck bothering you? Turn back the clock in one simple procedure that reverses the effects of age, sun damage, and gravity to make you look years younger. Our board-certified plastic surgeons will not only smooth out your wrinkles and restore your facial skin tone, but they will also address that part of every woman and man’s body that is the first to give away your age…. your neck. Our doctors will eliminate your turkey neck and make you truly look years younger.
A facelift, a.k.a. rhytidectomy, is designed to reverse the effects gravity, age, sun damage, stress, and other factors may have on the skin and soft tissue of your face and neck. Skin damage may manifest as loose or sagging skin with a plethora of wrinkles. As we age, some of the fatty tissue in our face shrivel and sag, compounding the effects of the aforementioned skin and soft tissue damage. The facelift procedure smoothes out the wrinkled skin, moves around and tightens the underlying fatty tissue, and removes the excess skin to provide a rejuvenated and more youthful appearance.

Full Facelift

Many individuals seek out this procedure to improve the visible signs of aging in the face and neck, including sagging, deep creases, fallen fat, loss of muscle tone, and loose skin. This procedure will help to reverse signs of aging and increase a youthful appearance. Facelifts are usually completed in conjunction with other procedures, such as brow and cheek lifts.

Mid Facelift

The Mid Face Lift can beautifully restore the contours and fullness to the mid-face area. This procedure can be done in conjunction with the traditional Face Lift to address the eyelids, brow, and forehead regions. This complex surgical procedure requires extensive facelifting experience and is growing in popularity because of the more natural results.

Ponytail Facelift

A modern, minimally invasive facelift that refreshes your face while keeping scars hidden in the hairline. Ideal for early to moderate sagging, it lifts the cheeks, jawline, and midface for a natural, youthful look.

Benefits:

Subtle, refreshed contours

Minimal visible scarring

Shorter recovery than traditional facelifts

Ideal for patients seeking natural results

How It Works: Small, hidden incisions allow lifting of deeper facial layers, recreating a natural “ponytail” lift effect.

Neck Lift

The neck is one of two areas on your body where common wisdom says you can see a person’s true age, the other being your hands. Maintaining a youthful neck will transform your image and perceived age. Eliminate sagging turkey necks with a simple neck lift, and never worry about strangers being able to guess your age.
Neck Lift/Liposuction is a procedure to help eliminate facial flaws and signs of aging caused by the loosening of muscles and sagging skin in the neck. There are various procedures for lifting and tightening the neck ranging from minimally invasive to more complex surgery. Patients interested in neck liposuction should have good skin elasticity and be nonsmokers, as both of these are important to achieve an ideal result after healing. If you are suffering from loose skin that has lost its elasticity or have bands hanging from your neck, giving you a turkey neck appearance, neck liposuction alone may not be sufficient to address your concerns. You may be better suited for a Neck Lift procedure with or without platysmaplasty.

Blepharoplasty

Consultations offered at our six convenient locations in Beverly Hills, Alhambra, Irvine, Fremont, Dublin, CA and Bellevue, WA

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that addresses visual field obstructions and the aesthetic appearance of the eye. Depending on your specific condition, blepharoplasty can be performed on your upper eyelid, lower eyelid or both.The procedure involves removing excess skin and adding or removing fat from the eyelids. When the upper eyelid is addressed, a thin incision is made in your natural eyelid crease. The placement of this incision is vital as it allows any resulting scar to be virtually invisible.
When the lower eyelid is addressed, incisions can be made directly below the lash line or on the inside of the eyelid.

Treatable Conditions

  • Loose or sagging skin that creates folds or disturbs the natural contour of the upper eyelid, sometimes impairing vision
  • Excess fatty deposits that appear as puffiness in the eyelids
  • Bags under the eyes
  • Excess skin and fine wrinkles of the lower eyelid
  • Baggy or droopy upper eyelids
  • Droopy lower eyelids, which may cause white to show below the colored part of the eye (iris)
  • Excess skin on the lower eyelids
  • Upper eyelids that are too prominent

Double Eyelid Surgery (Asian Eyelid Surgery)

For many men and women of Asian descent, cosmetic surgery is an important choice in their overall vision and appearance. The procedure, known as Asian double eyelid surgery in Beverly Hills, helps to correct eyelid creases to conform more closely to widely accepted aesthetic norms.
In some cases, the eyelid is so heavy that it covers half of the iris, which can obstruct vision as well as give the appearance of being tired or not engaged. If you are seeking ethnically sensitive Asian eyelid surgery, Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Perry Liu can help you achieve your goals. He is a board-certified plastic surgeon known for his aesthetic and intricate double eyelid surgery procedures.
“Double-eyelid Surgery” or supratarsal crease creation is a very popular procedure among the Asian population. Asian eyelids are structurally different from Caucasian eyelids in several different ways:
  • Lack a supratarsal crease (double eyelid)
  • Thicker and fattier eyelids
  • Hooding of the eyelid skin in the middle corner of the eye (epicanthal fold)

Dr. Liu’s Expertise

Double eyelid surgery and revisional Asian blepharoplasty in Los Angeles is done on an outpatient basis at Avant Aesthetic’s state-of-the-art surgical center under local anesthesia with sedation. This removes the risks associated with general anesthesia and usually results in patients being able to return home shortly after surgery. Additionally, local anesthetic with sedation is necessary to allow interaction between the patient and our doctors during surgery to ensure proper placement of the crease.
Reshaping the upper eyelid requires an in-depth examination of the thickness and quality of the eyelid skin as well as an evaluation of the anatomy of the eye. Other factors that are considered are the amount of fat under the eyelid, healing history, age and gender. With all of this information to hand, Dr. Liu creates a unique surgical plan that will produce a natural crease in the eye without losing the Asian characteristics that define ethnicity.

Asian Blepharoplasty Recovery

Recovery time with sutures is less than with the incision technique. Patients can return to work or school a few days after having a suture technique. Those with incisions will need about a week before they might want to reappear at their normal activities.
Outcome for sutured eyelids is very good but may require revision surgery several years into the future. The sutures can move or aging can change the anatomy of the eyelid making the crease less evident. With the incision technique, outcome is excellent and permanent in the vast majority of cases.
Whether the suture or incision technique is used, patients can be confident that they have chosen world-class specialists for their procedure. Dr. Liu and the entire Avant Aesthetics team strive to provide the most refined Asian eyelid surgery available in all of Beverly Hills.

Lower Eyelid Surgery

Many men and women experience bags under the eyes, puffy lower eyelids, and lower eyelids that droop. These conditions cause you to look older, tired, or just worn down. Dr. Perry Liu is a board-certified plastic surgeon who can drastically improve these conditions using cutting-edge techniques.
He has 15+ years of advanced training in multiple plastic surgery procedures, and they bring this knowledge and experience to every patient they care for. It is no wonder that Avant Aesthetics patients say we deliver among the best lower eyelid surgery in Los Angeles.
Your face has a natural symmetry unique to you; if one part is changed without special attention to how it aligns with your natural symmetry, a poor, unnatural look is the result. Dr. Liu has gained skilled aesthetic eyes throughout his career. Dr. Liu, especially from his years of interest and appreciation for Chinese painting, where balance and harmony are an integral part of the process. That same philosophy of balance and harmony is integrated into every patient on every procedure to rave results.

Lower Eyelid Surgery Recovery

Beverly Hills lower eyelid surgery is done on an outpatient basis; no overnight stay is required, so you’ll go home the same day. After the procedure, it is common to experience discomfort or a small amount of pain. It is not a very invasive procedure, so the healing process is relatively mild. You may also experience slightly blurred vision that usually disappears within 24 hours.
As with all reconstructive surgical procedures, there will also be bruising and swelling, this may last a little over a week, and most patients return to work after one week.

FAQS

Is Blepharoplasty Right For You?

As is with any surgery, a consultation with your doctor is needed to ensure the correct procedure is done. Dr. Liu takes a slightly different approach; he will get to know you and the results that you’re looking for. In the one-on-one consultation, you will have all your questions answered and concerns fully addressed. Dr. Liu will ensure you understand the procedure fully, so there are no surprises. He is dedicated to delivering the best blepharoplasty Beverly Hills has to offer (for men and women!).

What To Ask For On The First Visit?

For your initial consultation, be prepared to discuss your options, treatment suggestions, recovery times and other important details. Some questions you may want to ask include:

 

Is there a non-surgical solution to my issue?
What are the newest treatment alternatives for eyelid surgery?
Am I a good candidate for this treatment?
What kind of side effects and recovery issues might occur?

 

Choosing your Beverly Hills cosmetic surgeon comes down to feeling comfortable, not only on a personal level, but also with regards to his or her credentials as well. Be sure the cosmetic surgeon you choose is board-certified by a reputable board for this specialty. Ask for referrals from friends or colleagues and of course, trust your own instincts. If you find the surgeon to be professional and considerate while taking the time to thoroughly explain every procedure, odds are you will have a good relationship throughout the entire process.

 

Be sure to schedule a consultation well in advance of your procedure. Tell your plastic surgeon of any medical problems you may have, as well as any special concerns or requests. If you are planning your procedure to coincide with a special event in your life (for example, a wedding or other important occasion), schedule your surgery far enough in advance to allow adequate time for healing and recovery. Talk to your surgeon about the best time frame for this. Prior to surgery, it is always advisable to get your eyes checked by your ophthalmologist for underlying visual or globe pressure problems that you may not have noticed. Typically, your eyes will be moderately swollen for 2-3 days. After that, you will have trace swelling for 3-6 weeks before your eyes are back to normal.

Incision Or Suture Technique?

There are two established methods of double eyelid surgery in Los Angeles; sutures or incisions. Each method has advantages and disadvantages both in outcome and recovery time. Prior to surgery, depending on your doctor, Dr. Liu will discuss both techniques, and depending on how much excess skin or fat exists in the eyelid, he’ll make his recommendation.

 

If sutures are the procedure of choice, the crease will be formed by creating small openings through which stitches are used to attach muscle and tissue forming the crease. For patients who choose the incision technique, an incision is made where the eyelid would naturally crease. Excess skin and fat are removed, and when the incision is closed, the double eyelid is created. The incision is placed within the crease so that there is no scar visible after healing.

Is Lower Eyelid Surgery An Option For Me?

The most common reasons people seek treatment of their lower eyelids are:
Puffy lower eyelids
Excess wrinkles on the lower eyelids
Dark circles under the eyes
Drooping of the lower eyelids
These conditions can happen at any age and be the result of genetics, heredity or injury and in the majority of cases can be treated easily by Dr. Liu’s skilled hands.

Brow Lift

Consultations offered at our six convenient locations in Beverly Hills, Alhambra, Irvine, Fremont, Dublin, CA and Bellevue, WA
 
Are you frustrated with sagging skin in your forehead region? Then the forehead lift and eyebrow lift, also called “the brow lift,” may be just what you’re seeking. This popular procedure is used to help reverse the aging process (all those deep wrinkles and creases across your forehead caused by years of facial expressions and environmental effects). A forehead lift can be performed using one of three common procedures: an endo-brow lift performed through an endoscope, an open brow lift, or a temporal lift. The procedure cosmetically corrects sagging in the forehead skin, upper eyelids, and eyebrows. The goal of the brow lift is to enhance existing beauty and give a more youthful, rested appearance.

Facial Liposuction and Jaw Contouring

Consultations offered at our six convenient locations in Beverly Hills, Alhambra, Irvine, Fremont, Dublin, CA and Bellevue, WA

Many Asian women prefer thin slim faces rather than having wider, squarish faces. Botox can slim down the face by reducing the size of the masseter muscles, which are located directly above the angle of the mandible. Non-surgical jaw and facial slimming using botox is quite effective, especially when the squarish facial features are due to hypertrophy of the jaw (masseter) muscles. This occurs in people who like to chew a lot or grind their teeth at night. As an added benefit, it also helps with nighttime teeth grinding, especially for those individuals who can’t keep the night guard in their mouth at night.
When slimming down the masseter muscles does not produce enough of a jaw reduction, surgical jawline reduction is the only alternative. Surgical reduction of the mandibular angle by shaving down the prominent angle is very effective in changing a square-shaped facial profile to a slimmer oval or triangular shape. This is often performed in conjunction with a chin augmentation procedure, especially when the chin is underdeveloped.

Cheek Augmentation

Consultations offered at our six convenient locations in Beverly Hills, Alhambra, Irvine, Fremont, Dublin, CA and Bellevue, WA Chin and cheek augmentation can provide the necessary definition to balance out and give proportion to a face. It can also correct the loss of facial volume and associated youthful appearance. Chin augmentation can be performed by either placing an implant or moving your chin. For those fearful of surgery, filler injections are a viable alternative, but you will not get the same chin projection and definition that you will with a chin implant. Similarly, cheek augmentations can be performed by placing an implant or taking fatty tissue from other body parts and replacing the lost facial volume.

Rhinoplasty

Consultations offered at our six convenient locations in Beverly Hills, Alhambra, Irvine, Fremont, Dublin, CA and Bellevue, WA Nose surgery can serve two purposes: improve your breathing and make it look more aesthetically appealing. Not only can we improve the appearance of your nose, but if you have breathing difficulties, nose surgery can alleviate the obstruction and improve your breathing. This procedure can address various aspects of your nose, including length, height, and width, along with the tip and overall shape of your nose. Insurance will often cover nose surgeries if it was traumatically injured or if you have breathing difficulties. However, any surgery that does not address a breathing problem is considered cosmetic and not covered by insurance.

Implant Rhinoplasty

Traditional nose surgery using silicone or gore-tex implants.

DCF Rhinoplasty

Diced Cartilage Fascia Graft Rhinoplasty in Los Angeles uses your own ear and rib cartilage to form your nose.

Hump Removal

Shaving down of nose hump for smoother bridge.

Ear Surgery

Consultations offered at our six convenient locations in Beverly Hills, Alhambra, Irvine, Fremont, Dublin, CA and Bellevue, WA

Ear surgery can correct ears that appear too prominent for a variety of reasons. Although this procedure is most commonly performed on children, it is frequently performed in adults as well. Prominent ears can be reduced by either setting the ears further back against the skull, folding the ear cartilage back, or removing excess cartilage. The procedure of choice depends on the ear anatomy and why the ear appears to “stick out.”
Reasons For Having Ear Surgery:
  • Prominent ears that “stick out”
  • Correct congenital ear deformities (folded ear, hidden ear, etc.)
  • Fix traumatic ear deformities
  • Fix torn ear lobes
