Facelift (Meloplasty)
Facelift surgery addresses age-related changes in the face and neck by tightening skin and underlying tissues. Ideal for patients with sagging jowls, loose neck skin, or deep creases, this procedure restores a youthful contour. Dr. Choi's expertise ensures natural-looking results that enhance facial harmony while preserving individuality. Recovery typically takes 2-4 weeks, with long-lasting outcomes.
Asian Eyelid Surgery
This specialized procedure creates or enhances upper eyelid creases to achieve a more open, defined eye appearance. Dr. Choi offers both surgical and non-surgical techniques tailored to individual anatomy, with particular expertise in addressing epicanthal folds. Results are customized to maintain ethnic characteristics while improving symmetry and vision clarity, with recovery times varying by method.
Ultherapy
Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production for non-invasive facial tightening. FDA-cleared for lifting the brow, neck, and under the chin, this treatment delivers gradual results over 2-3 months with no downtime. It's ideal for patients seeking subtle rejuvenation without surgery, offering a 'liquid facelift' alternative.
Kybella
Kybella injections dissolve submental fat to improve jawline definition. This FDA-approved treatment uses synthetic deoxycholic acid to permanently destroy fat cells, requiring 2-4 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Ideal for patients with moderate to severe 'double chin,' it offers a non-surgical alternative to liposuction with minimal recovery time.
Blepharoplasty
Eyelid surgery rejuvenates puffy, sagging upper lids or baggy lower lids to create a more alert appearance. Dr. Choi specializes in both functional and cosmetic blepharoplasty, addressing vision obstruction and aesthetic concerns. Techniques preserve natural eyelid function while achieving harmonious results that complement facial features, with recovery typically lasting 2-3 weeks.

Questions
Will people notice I've had cosmetic surgery?
A successful procedure enhances your natural features subtly. Most patients report friends notice a refreshed appearance rather than specific surgical changes unless disclosed.
Why do I have premature aging around my eyes?
The delicate skin around eyes shows aging first. Botox injections effectively reduce dynamic wrinkles by temporarily relaxing the underlying muscles with minimal downtime.
Is plastic surgery painful?
Modern anesthesia ensures comfort during procedures. Post-operative discomfort is typically managed with medication and subsides within days, with detailed recovery protocols provided.
Why choose a board-certified surgeon?
Board certification by the American Board of Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery ensures specialized training and rigorous evaluation, crucial for safety and quality outcomes in California's unregulated surgical landscape.
What non-surgical options do you offer?
We provide BOTOX, fillers, Kybella, Ultherapy, and RF microneedling with exosomes to address wrinkles, volume loss, and skin texture concerns without surgery.
