  • How is eyelid surgery done?

    Eyelid surgery is done through tiny incisions on the inside of the eyelid as well as on the eyelash line and in the upper crease.On average, 90% of patients are back to normal within 2 weeks. Typically, there is some redness in the eyelid area especially where the incisions are made, which improve over the first 3-5 days. There are no sutures that Dr. Nguyen removes after the surgery, since they are all dissolvable sutures. There is very mild discomfort after this type of surgery and some patients may not require pain medication after. There can be some minimal swelling and bruising the first week, however within our practice, our patients heal pretty quickly due to the surgical vitamins they take before and after the surgery to help expedite the swelling & bruising. READ MORE

  • How long does it take to recover from eyelid plastic surgery?

    We ask patients to take a week off of work for the initial recovery period. There will be swelling and some mild bruising within the first few weeks. We do have our patients on vitamins to speed up the recovery process! After the first week, you can go back to work and do your normal daily activities. NO WORKING OUT FOR AT LEAST 6-8 WEEKS! Other than that, a week should be plenty of time. If you talk in front of people or if you are concerned with the swelling/bruising, you can request time off of work for a longer period. Hope this helps! READ MORE

  • What will happen if you don't replace breast implants?

    The FDA recommends that you get your implants switched out every 10 years but this is not a requirement. The implants that are made now are very cohesive and they come with a lifetime warranty. Get examined by your doctor every 5-10 years but if you are happy with the size, shape, and feel, you can leave them in. READ MORE
