Let Your Eyes Reflect How You Feel Inside

At Adoro Medical Spa, Dr. Elba Pacheco, board certified, fellowship-trained in eyelid surgery and renowned for her meticulous technique and artistic touch—performs eyelid surgery to restore openness, softness, and light to the eyes. The goal? A refreshed, expressive gaze that looks like you—only more rested, radiant, and aligned with how you truly feel.

What Is Eyelid Surgery at Adoro?

Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) is a delicate procedure designed to refine and rejuvenate the upper and/or lower eyelids. With time, the skin around the eyes can become lax or puffy, changing the way others perceive your energy and emotion. At Adoro, this procedure is never about altering identity—it’s about restoring harmony, vibrancy, and natural elegance to one of your most defining features.

Dr. Pacheco uses a CO2 laser to perform every aspect of her eyelid surgery, which is a unique, signature approach. Every eyelid surgery is thoughtfully tailored to your anatomy, age, and goals, ensuring results that are timeless and personal.

Upper vs. Lower Eyelid Surgery

Eyelid surgery can focus on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both—depending on your anatomy and aesthetic goals. Dr. Pacheco carefully evaluates each area to create a plan that feels seamless and integrated.

Upper Eyelid Surgery

Ideal for lifting sagging or hooded lids that contribute to a heavy, tired look or that makes your makeup less fun to wear. This procedure restores openness, gently defining the upper lid for a more alert, natural expression.

Lower Eyelid Surgery

Designed to smooth puffiness, soften under-eye bags, tighten crepey skin, and reduce dark shadows. Dr. Pacheco uses a C02 laser and  advanced repositioning techniques to preserve volume and achieve a refreshed, elegant result, and to preserve the natural eyelid position and function.

Combined Approach

For many patients, the best outcome comes from a combination of upper and lower eyelid surgery—creating a beautifully balanced, fully rejuvenated eye area that still feels unmistakably you.

FAQ Eyelid Surgery

What's the difference between upper and lower eyelid surgery?

Upper blepharoplasty removes excess skin/fat creating hooded lids, while lower blepharoplasty addresses under-eye bags and hollows. Performed together, they provide comprehensive periorbital rejuvenation.

How do I know if I'm a good candidate?

Ideal candidates experience functional or aesthetic concerns like obstructed vision, persistent puffiness, or tired-looking eyes. Dr. Pacheco evaluates lid position, skin quality, and facial harmony during consultation.

Will my results look natural?

Dr. Pacheco's precision techniques preserve natural lid contours and expressions. Results appear refreshed yet authentic - no 'overdone' or surprised looks.

What is recovery like?

Typical recovery involves: Days 1-3 (moderate swelling), Days 4-7 (suture removal), Days 7-14 (socially presentable). Most resume light work in 5-7 days, with strenuous activity after 2-3 weeks.

Will I have visible scars?

Incisions are strategically placed in natural creases (upper lids) or just below lash lines (lower lids). When healed properly, scars become nearly imperceptible fine lines.

How long do results last?

Surgical results typically last 10+ years. While aging continues, patients maintain significant improvement long-term compared to untreated peers.

Can eyelid surgery be combined with other procedures?

Yes. Common combinations include: CO2 laser for skin texture, brow lift for upper face harmony, or facial fillers for volume restoration - all customized during your surgical plan.
