Hooded lids, under-eye puffiness, mascara that smudges where skin folds over your lashes – these are signs of aging that no eye cream or filler can fix. Blepharoplasty can.
Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) removes excess skin, repositions fat, and restores a more open, rested appearance to the eyes. It's one of the most effective facial procedures — and one of the quickest to recover from.
Dr. Liu customizes every procedure based on what your eyes actually need:
Upper blepharoplasty – Removes the hooded skin that weighs down your lid and hides your natural crease. The incision is placed within the eyelid fold, so it's virtually invisible once healed.
Lower blepharoplasty– Smooths puffiness and hollowing beneath the eye by repositioning or removing excess fat. The result is a rested, even under-eye contour.
Combined upper + lower – Addresses the full eye area in a single procedure for patients who want comprehensive rejuvenation.
Dr. Liu will also evaluate whether a brow lift should be considered alongside blepharoplasty — because sometimes what looks like excess lid skin is actually a descending brow. Getting this diagnosis right is the difference between a great result and a mediocre one.
Natural results, not a "surprised" look. Dr. Liu carefully evaluates skin laxity, fat distribution, brow position, and overall facial proportions before removing even a millimeter of tissue. This precision is what prevents the over-pulled, hollow look that makes people look like they've had work done.
A recovery you can plan around. Most patients return to daily activities within 5–7 days. Bruising and swelling are typically manageable with simple at-home care. Many patients are back to light social engagements within a week.
A surgeon who trained for a decade before touching a patient. Summa cum laude from UCLA. Medical degree from Dartmouth. General surgery residency and NIH-funded research fellowship at Yale. Plastic surgery training at the University of Pittsburgh, one of the top programs in the country.
That depth of training is what allows her to deliver precise, natural-looking results – even in the most delicate areas of the face.

Dr. Liu's approach is designed to preserve your natural appearance. The goal is to remove heaviness and restore openness – not change the shape or character of your eyes. Patients consistently say they look like a more rested version of themselves.
Upper blepharoplasty starts at approximately $9,000 and lower blepharoplasty starts at approximately $11,000. Final pricing is determined during your consultation based on your specific surgical plan.
Most patients take about a week off work. Stitches are typically removed within 5-7 days. Bruising fades quickly and is easy to cover with sunglasses. Initial results are visible within 2-3 weeks.
Upper blepharoplasty incisions are hidden within the eyelid crease. Once healed, they're essentially invisible. Lower blepharoplasty can often be performed through an incision inside the eyelid, leaving no external scar at all.
