Blepharoplasty & Facelift

Facial rejuvenation procedures restore a more youthful, refreshed appearance. Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) addresses drooping upper eyelids and puffy lower eyelids, while facelift surgery tightens sagging facial skin and repositions underlying tissues for a naturally rejuvenated look.

Dr. Mora approaches facial surgery with subtlety, aiming for results that make you look refreshed and rested—not ‘done.’ His technique focuses on natural tissue repositioning rather than excessive tightening that creates a pulled appearance.

Enhance Your Beauty Safely

Facial procedures can dramatically refresh your appearance while maintaining your natural look.

Blepharoplasty (Eyelids)

Upper blepharoplasty removes excess skin that may impair vision. Lower blepharoplasty addresses puffiness and dark circles. Can be done separately or together.

Facelift (Rhytidectomy)

Addresses jowls, loose neck skin, and deep facial folds by repositioning underlying tissues and removing excess skin.

Dr. Mora's technique avoids the 'windswept' look. Results should make you look like a rested, younger version of yourself.

Why Dr. Mora

Dr. Mora favors deep plane facelift techniques that reposition underlying tissue rather than simply pulling skin tight. This creates more natural, longer-lasting results. For blepharoplasty, he takes care to preserve adequate skin to ensure complete eye closure—an essential function that overly aggressive surgery can compromise.
