Your eyes are one of the most noticeable features of your face. Unfortunately, they’re also one of the first areas to show signs of aging. Loose skin, droopy upper lids, under-eye hollows, and fine wrinkles can make you look tired, sad, or older than you feel.
If you want to restore a more youthful, lifted appearance without undergoing surgery, a non-surgical eyelid lift (non-surgical blepharoplasty) may be the ideal solution. At her oculoplastic practice in Irvine, Dr. Melanie Ho Erb offers advanced, minimally invasive options to rejuvenate the eyelid area without incisions or downtime.
I’ve been a patient of Dr. Erb for over 10 years now and she’s been amazing from day one. I followed her from an old office to her current one in Irvine that’s an hour away from me, that’s how awesome she is.
I get Botox/Dysport for my migraines and anti-aging effects and her placement is perfect. I have also started getting lip fillers as well, and my results are natural and proportionate to my facial features.
She and her staff are always super friendly and welcoming. Getting appointments is easy and she doesn’t have long wait times.
I’ve been to may places over the years, including high end places in Beverly Hills on Rodeo Drive, and Dr. Erb is leagues above my other experiences.
There is really something positive to be said about an actual Doctor/Surgeon placing your botox/fillers as apposed to someone with less training (even if they are technically qualified).I would 100% recommend Dr. Melanie Erb to everyone, and I have. She’s worth the travel time.
What Is a Non-Surgical Eyelid Lift?
A non-surgical eyelid lift is a customized, combination treatment that addresses sagging, puffiness, and wrinkles around the eyes using non-invasive techniques. While it will not remove excess skin as a surgical blepharoplasty would, this procedure can dramatically improve the appearance of:
- Droopy or hooded eyelids
- Under-eye bags and hollows
- Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes
- Tired, aged eye appearance
According to the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, non-surgical cosmetic procedures have increased by over 78% in the past decade, with many patients choosing treatments like non-surgical eyelid lifts for their convenience and natural results.
Non-Surgical Techniques Dr. Erb Uses for Eyelid Rejuvenation
Each patient’s treatment is tailored based on their anatomy and concerns. Techniques may include:
- Dermal fillers to restore volume in upper eyelid hollows or under-eye tear troughs
- Neurotoxin injections (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Jeuveau) to soften fine lines and subtly lift the brows
- Radiofrequency microneedling or laser skin rejuvenation to tighten skin and improve texture
- Topical skin care products to brighten and firm the eye area
- Kybella® (in select cases) to reduce small fat pockets contributing to puffiness
This multi-modal approach allows Dr. Erb to provide subtle, natural improvement without the need for surgery.
