What to Expect...What to Expect...

Eyelid and browlifts are almost always performed on an outpatient basis using local anesthesia.

Before surgery, Dr. Higa will perform an eye examination and make recommendations. For some clients, their procedures may be covered by insurance.

If you are planning to have surgery, be sure to tell Dr. Higa if you are taking aspirin or aspirin-containing drugs or blood thinners or if you have a bleeding problem. This surgery is generally safe; however, as with any surgery, there are some risks.

Dr. Higa will attempt to make both eyes look similar, but differences in healing between the eyes may cause some unevenness in appearance following surgery.

A “black eye” is common but will resolve quickly.

You may use ice packs to relieve swelling post-procedure, and antibiotic ointment will be applied to prevent infection.

Welcome to Aesthetic Vision Center

Welcome to Aesthetic Vision CenterAloha,

I dual trained as an eye doctor and a

plastic surgeon specializing in the midface area, which includes, eyes, eyelids, brows, and the area around the mouth and cheeks.

I take a conservative approach to upper eyelid rejuvenation so that the Asian lid retains its natural look. I have found that clients want to avoid the “wide-eyed” look and enjoy positive results that are noticeable but don’t look “done”.

I invite you to take a look at Aesthetic Vision Center’s Eyelid Rejuvenation results in this brochure and ask about a free consultation.

1 ~ Elective Services Not Covered By Insurance. However some upper eyelid rejuvenation candidates may be covered by insurance after passing an in-office field of vision evaluation.

See how good you look!

~ Hugo Higa, M.D.

Eyelid Rejuvenation MenuEyelid Rejuvenation MenuConcern: Droopy “Sleepy” Eyes1

Over time, your upper eyelid may droop only slightly or it may cover most of the pupil. In some cases, this droopiness can restrict and even block normal vision. Dr. Higa will perform upper eyelid surgery to “open” the eyes for a more alert, youthful result.

Concern: Puffy Lower Eyelids In the case of lower eyelids, puffiness, bags, and wrinkles are the most common problems. Fat may be removed or redistributed, and skin wrinkles may be smoothed with the Fraxel® 1500 Skin Rejuvenation Laser.
