Timothy R. Miller practices at Refreshed Aesthetic Surgery in Aliso Viejo, California. His site offers eyelid surgery, ptosis repair and brow lift.
Training and board certification
Miller earned his MD from the University of California, Davis School of Medicine, completed a five-year surgical residency in otolaryngology-head and neck surgery, and trained through the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery fellowship program (https://www.lookrefreshed.com/about/meet-dr-miller/). He is certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (same source). The site states he publishes surgical techniques in scientific journals and lectures at facial plastic surgery meetings, and participates in FACE to FACE: The National Domestic Violence Project, treating facial injuries for patients who cannot afford care (same source).
Eyelid surgery work
The eyelid surgery page describes upper blepharoplasty (removing excess upper-lid skin), lower blepharoplasty (reducing puffiness and tightening loose skin) and a combined procedure. Lower-lid work uses a transconjunctival, internal-incision approach with fat repositioning rather than removal; the site states Miller does not cut the eye muscle (https://www.lookrefreshed.com/facial-plastic-surgery/eyelid-surgery/). Ptosis repair uses an inside-the-eyelid technique that leaves no visible scar, performed under local anesthesia with twilight sedation, with recovery generally 7 to 10 days; it can be combined with under-eye bag correction in the same session (https://www.lookrefreshed.com/facial-plastic-surgery/ptosis-surgery/). The blepharoplasty gallery (https://www.lookrefreshed.com/gallery/aesthetic-surgery/blepharoplasty/) and ptosis gallery, which shows three patient cases (https://www.lookrefreshed.com/gallery/aesthetic-surgery/ptosis-treatment/), both display before-and-after photos.
Other procedures
Brow lift options include a brow/temple lift that elevates the outer brow, a full brow lift adding inner-brow elevation for heavier or more lowered brows, and foreheadplasty to smooth the forehead and reduce overactive muscle activity (https://www.lookrefreshed.com/facial-plastic-surgery/brow-lift/). The brow lift gallery shows four patient cases (https://www.lookrefreshed.com/gallery/aesthetic-surgery/brow-lift/). The practice also offers facelift, neck lift, rhinoplasty, ear surgery, facial implants and fat transfer.
Insurance and cost
The eyelid surgery page states cost typically starts from $4,750 to $10,690, with a personalized quote given at consultation (https://www.lookrefreshed.com/facial-plastic-surgery/eyelid-surgery/). No pricing is published for ptosis repair or brow lift. The practice site has no insurance or Medicare statements.
