Hispanic Blepharoplasty in Newport Beach
Hispanic eyelids are incredibly diverse, with features that can vary significantly from person to person. While it’s true that Hispanic patients often have thicker eyelid skin, their eyelid shapes range widely.
Some individuals have eyelids that closely resemble those of Caucasian patients. Others share characteristics more commonly associated with Asian eyelids, such as a slight Mongolian fold or heavier tissue that creates a pseudo-monolid appearance. This diversity means a simple one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work for Hispanic blepharoplasty.

How is Hispanic Blepharoplasty Different?
As an experienced plastic surgeon in Orange County treating patients in San Clemente, Newport Beach, and surrounding areas, Dr. Goretti Ho Taghva is deeply attuned to the variations of Hispanic eyelids and emphasizes the importance of tailoring each procedure to the unique anatomy and aesthetic goals of her patients.
For younger Hispanic patients in particular, she’s noticed a growing trend toward a more “fox eye” or almond-shaped aesthetic. “A lot of young Hispanic patients these days also opt for concurrent temporal ‘foxy eye’ lift in addition to upper eyelid surgery,” Dr. Ho Taghva said. “The goal is to create a more almond eye shape instead of a sad, downward slanting puppy eye look.”
This shift highlights the importance of customizing every step of the process. Dr. Ho Taghva’s approach to Hispanic blepharoplasty often involves careful consideration of the fat in the eyelids. She uses a conservative approach to fat removal to avoid hollowing and maintain a natural, youthful look. Depending on the patient’s anatomy and goals, she may also recommend a temporal lift or other subtle enhancements to achieve the desired, lifted appearance.
Her philosophy is rooted in balance and harmony. Enhancing the patient’s natural beauty while respecting the unique features of their ethnicity.

Unique Techniques for Hispanic Blepharoplasty
For many Hispanic patients, the goal isn’t to conform to traditional beauty ideals but to refine and elevate their natural features. Whether it’s creating a more almond-shaped appearance or simply reducing heaviness in the upper eyelids, Dr. Ho Taghva’s approach is all about balance.
There is no cookie-cutter approach with Hispanic eyelids. It’s about respecting the diversity within this group and bringing out the best version of each patient’s natural beauty.
Dr. Ho Taghva’s expertise lies in personalization and precision. She takes extra care when removing fat to avoid over-reduction, which can lead to hollowing.
