Dr. Kayva Crawford is a fellowship-trained facial plastic surgeon specializing in refined facial procedures, including Upper and Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty.
- Del Mar, CA
A Refined Approach to Eyelid Surgery
Blepharoplasty can help improve heavy upper eyelids, puffiness, under-eye bags, and a tired appearance around the eyes.
Dr. Crawford creates personalized eyelid surgery plans focused on restoring a more open, rested, and balanced look while preserving the natural character of the eyes.
Her approach is precise and conservative, helping patients avoid a hollow, tight, or overdone appearance.
Upper and Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty
Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty
Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty addresses excess skin, hooding, heaviness, and drooping of the upper eyelids. If indicated, Dr. Crawford may remove some protruding fat from the upper eyelid.
Dr. Crawford places incisions within the natural eyelid crease to help them heal discreetly while restoring a more open and rested appearance.
Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty
Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty addresses puffiness, under-eye bags, and contour irregularities beneath the eyes.
The goal is to smooth the transition between the lower eyelid and cheek without creating a hollow or operated look. When indicated, Dr. Crawford often performs fat transfer at the same time to smooth the contour of the lower eyelid and cheek.
