Why Consider Cosmetic Surgery for the Eyelids or Face?

Cosmetic surgery can restore more than just appearance — it can restore confidence. As we age, changes in skin, fat distribution, and muscle tone can alter how we look and how we feel. Surgical intervention, when performed with skill and subtlety, can help reverse these effects while maintaining your natural character. Cosmetic surgery at our Denver clinic offers a long-term solution for those seeking meaningful, lasting results.

Cosmetic Surgeries Can Provide:

A more rested, youthful appearance
Long-lasting improvement compared to non-surgical options
Correction of sagging skin or under-eye bags
More defined facial contours and symmetry
Custom-tailored results based on your anatomy and goals

BLEPHAROPLASTY

Blepharoplasty is a precision eyelid surgery designed to reduce puffiness, sagging skin, and signs of fatigue around the eyes—revealing a more rested and youthful appearance. Dr. Popham is one of Denver’s most experienced oculoplastic surgeons, performing blepharoplasty procedures weekly in his fully accredited private surgery center.

ASIAN BLEPHAROPLASTY

Asian blepharoplasty, commonly known as double eyelid surgery, is a highly personalized procedure that creates or enhances a natural-looking upper eyelid crease. This subtle refinement can open the eyes and define the upper lid contour while preserving the patient’s unique ethnic features and aesthetic preferences.

How Asian Blepharoplasty is Performed

The procedure may be performed using either an incisional or non-incisional technique, depending on the patient’s anatomy, skin quality, and desired outcome. Incisional techniques involve carefully placed sutures and precise tissue removal for a more permanent result, while non-incisional methods use sutures alone for less invasive reshaping. Each approach is customized to enhance symmetry and create a smooth, natural crease without overcorrection or “Westernization.”

Expected Results of Double Eyelid Surgery

Creation or enhancement of a defined upper eyelid crease
More open and expressive eyes
Improved eyelid symmetry and contour
Retention of natural ethnic features
Subtle, natural-looking refinement without overdone results
A surgical plan tailored to your individual anatomy and goals

FACE LIFT / NECK LIFT

Facelift and neck lift surgery are designed to restore facial definition and reduce visible signs of aging in the lower face, jawline, and neck. These procedures address deep facial sagging, jowls, and skin laxity with a natural, long-lasting approach. Dr. Popham customizes each surgery to the patient’s anatomy, often combining it with eyelid or brow procedures for comprehensive rejuvenation.

BROW LIFT SURGERY

A brow lift is a surgical procedure that elevates the position of the eyebrows and smooths the forehead, helping to correct a tired, heavy, or angry appearance. As we age, the brows can gradually descend, creating hooding over the eyes and accentuating deep horizontal lines across the forehead. A brow lift restores a more open, refreshed expression while preserving natural movement and facial harmony.

How Brow Lift Surgery Works

Brow lift surgery is typically performed endoscopically, using small incisions hidden within the hairline to reposition the underlying brow tissues. This minimally invasive approach allows for precise lifting and reshaping of the brows while minimizing visible scarring and recovery time. The procedure is often combined with blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery to enhance upper facial rejuvenation.

Expected Results With Brow Lifts

Elevated, naturally shaped brows
Reduction in forehead creases and frown lines
Smoother skin and improved upper facial contours
A more rested, approachable expression
Diminished heaviness or hooding above the eyes
Subtle, long-lasting rejuvenation with no “over-lifted” look

SCAR REVISION SURGERY

Scar revision surgery is designed to minimize the appearance of scars and improve the texture, contour, or color of the skin in the affected area. While no scar can be completely erased, surgical revision can significantly refine its visibility and blend it more naturally with the surrounding tissue.

How Scar Revision Surgery Works

Depending on the type, size, and location of the scar, techniques may include surgical excision, realignment of skin tension, or layered closure to promote more even healing. In some cases, scar revision may be combined with laser treatments or injectables to optimize results. Dr. Popham customizes each approach based on the scar’s characteristics and the patient’s goals.

Expected Results of Scar Revision

A smoother, less prominent scar appearance
Improved scar contour and texture
Reduction in tightness or puckering around the scar
Better blending with surrounding skin tone and features
Enhanced confidence and skin appearance
Long-lasting improvement with minimal downtime in most cases

VASER® LIPOSELECTION

VASER LipoSelection is an advanced form of body contouring that uses ultrasonic technology to gently and precisely break down unwanted fat. It offers a refined alternative to traditional liposuction by targeting fat cells while preserving important surrounding tissues – resulting in smoother outcomes, less bruising, and faster recovery.

How VASER LipoSelection Works

A small probe delivers ultrasonic energy beneath the skin, liquefying fat without damaging nearby structures like nerves or blood vessels. The emulsified fat is then removed through gentle suction, allowing for precise sculpting with minimal trauma to the tissue. This procedure is typically performed under IV sedation in our accredited surgical center and is often combined with other facial or body procedures.

Expected Results

Reduction of stubborn fat in targeted areas
Smoother body contours with improved definition
Minimal scarring and faster recovery compared to traditional liposuction
Less bruising, swelling, and post-op discomfort
Common treatment areas: chin and neck, abdomen, flanks, arms, inner or outer thighs
Long-lasting results with a natural-looking finish
