Statement: Dr. Goretti Ho Taghva is a board-certified, Ivy League-educated reconstructive and plastic surgeon in Newport Beach, California. At her Orange County plastic surgery practice, LEA Plastic Surgery, Dr. Ho Taghva performs conventional and aesthetic procedures, as well as reconstructive surgeries. Her areas of expertise include eyelid enhancement (especially Asian eyelid crease surgery), mommy makeovers, and breast enhancement. She also offers a wide variety of nonsurgical treatments, such as dermal fillers, Botox, Thermage, Vivace and Emsculpt.

After earning her undergraduate and medical degrees at Brown University, Dr. Ho Taghva completed her plastic surgery training at the University of Southern California. She is a fellow of the American College of Surgeons, a member of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, and a diplomate of the American Board of Plastic Surgery. She is fluent in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese and conversational in Spanish and French.

Dr. Ho Taghva recently opened her new boutique practice, located centrally in beautiful Newport Beach. The facility includes a fully Medicare-accredited ambulatory surgery center, full-service medical spa, and dedicated care staff.

As a mother of three, Dr. Ho Taghva offers a different perspective than many plastic surgeons—one that does not focus on what a woman’s body “should” look like, but on building each patient’s self-confidence and improving their appearance with a deeply personalized approach.

Medial Epicanthoplasty
Jul 7, 2019

In general, medial epicanthoplasty would elongate the eyes and the distance between the eyes would appear closer. Unfortunately, I can't see the photos you posted. Please repost :)Goretti H. Taghva MD

What suggestions can I take to my provider for Sculptra?

Sculptra
Jun 29, 2019

Sculptra works very well and it’s one of the most popular fillers in my practice. However, it is not for everyone. If you are looking for a dramatically “filled look” this should NOT be your filler of your choice. Most patients choose sculptra over other fillers (e.g. HA) because the results look more natural. I think you may be better off exchanging the next few vials with other types of fillers. Best of luck!Goretti H. Taghva MD FACS

Is there an eyelid surgery that can be performed to fix the shape of my eye and my eyelid f

Multifolds on upper eyelids
Jun 29, 2019

Thank you for sharing your photo. First of all, I would not call your eyelids “non traditional” since 50% of Asian patients do not have monolids and a lot of patients seeking Asian eyelid surgeries actually have a lid crease but have similar complaints like yours! Multifolds/ inconsistent folds can be annoying to patients and eyelid surgery can help with creating a more consistent, more aesthetically pleasing upper lid crease. But to restore symmetry in your case, you may need a ptosis ...

Does microneedling/PRP plump the face or does it just build collagen that works on the skin

Microneedling with PRP
Jun 29, 2019

The goal of microneedling with PRP treatments is to stimulate collagen growth on the skin in order to improve its overall quality and texture. It does not make your face plump the way fillers do. Some patients elect to have PRFM (platelet rich fibrin matrix - a more solidified form of PRP) to be injected at the same time and that can be used for volume augmentation. Goretti H. Taghva MD FACS

Eyelid asymmetry after eyelid surgery
Jun 29, 2019

The asymmetry appears to be due to insufficient ptosis repair of the smaller eye. You should follow up with your primary surgeon and a revision surgery is most likely warranted. Best of luck!Goretti H. Taghva MD FACS

Is it better to use ear cartilage or rib for an Asian rhinoplasty?

Ear vs rib cartilage for Asian Rhinoplasties
Jun 29, 2019

Thank you for your question. Typically, ear cartilage is used to increase projection and refine the tip of the nose whether you use an implant/ autologous tissue for bridge augmentation. If only a conservative augmentation is needed for the bridge, ear cartilage can be used in conjunction with temporalis fascia as well. Looking at your photos, more cartilage may be needed than just using the ear to increase the bridge and radix height to look like your wish photo. Longevity wise both...

Did my doctor mess up my Asian double eyelid surgery?

Pretarsal crease height at 7 weeks
May 10, 2019

It sounds like what happened is that now that the swelling has subsided, you find that the crease height has decreased substantially compared to immediately post-op. This is not unusual. How high the crease sets has to do with surgical planning/ design and your own anatomy. I would not call this a “‘mess up”, your surgeon may not feel comfortable giving you an unnatural crease, or your anatomy may limit formation of a high crease. I agree there is some asymmetry that may or may not impr...

What can I do about the filler in my nose glowing red in the sun?

Glow in the sun nose filler
May 1, 2019

Hyaluronic acid is a translucent gel. When a lot is placed under thin skin, it can appear translucent like what we see on your photos. If you like the shape of your nose, you can try to see if BB cream/ foundation can do a better job covering it. If you really can’t stand the look of it, then dissolving it would be a good option. You may then consider trying a different filler that isn’t HA based, or surgical rhinoplasty. Good luck!Goretti H. Taghva MD FACS

3 weeks post-op. My radix is too high. Will it get lower after time?

Too early to tell
May 1, 2019

Hello! Swelling can be quite prominent at 3 weeks post op. Fascial grafts may hold onto the swelling a bit longer compared to implants. The radix area should appear less swollen over the next 4-8 weeks. Be patient! Goretti H. Taghva MD

What procedure do you recommend for an Asian nose with hanging alar and retracted columella

Asian Rhinoplasty
Mar 14, 2019

A typical Asian rhinoplasty usually involves dorsal augmentation (either with an implant or autologous tissue), a tip plasty to increase tip projection and in your case also lengthen the tip to decrease the appearance of a "retracted columella". A tip-plasty is typically sufficient to refine your nasal tip, but you may also benefit from reducing the alar base which is quite common in Asian rhinoplasty as well. An in-person consultation would be necessary to render you a more accurate ass...

Is it possible and safe having fat grafting to enhance chin implant projection?

Fat grafting over chin implant
Mar 14, 2019

Yes, it's safe to undergo fat grafting to increase projection of your chin implant. The fat will not be placed directly over the implant but will be embedded in the soft tissues to increase the survival rate. Good luck!Goretti H. Taghva MD FACS

1 year post op - double eyelid surgery revision to lower crease height and depth?

Revision upper eyelid surgery to lower crease height
Mar 14, 2019

Hello! Pretarsal crease height can be lowered surgically to decrease pretarsal show. It may be unrealistic to lower to the same height as before surgery but it can be lowered to make the eye shape appear more almond and less round. Goretti H. Taghva MD FACS

6 weeks post-upper eyelid surgery
Mar 14, 2019

It's a bit more swollen than usual at 6 weeks post-op. However, it is not unusual for the swelling to be prolonged after a revision eyelid surgery. You can try warm compress, bromelain supplement, head elevation and decrease sodium intake and see if that'd speed up the healing. In my practice, I find LED light therapy to be very beneficial as well. It's also important to follow up closely with your surgeon. Good luck!Goretti H. Taghva MD FACS

Revision upper eyelid surgery
Mar 14, 2019

Thank you for sharing your photos! If the double line is what concerns you the most, it may be fixed with less invasive methods and perhaps a bit of skin excision. If you are happy with the other eye, then it may be best to match the left eye to the right and not re-operate the right eye. However, a more detailed physical exam would be necessary to assess the options. Goretti H. Taghva MD FACS

Maintenance recommendations for Vivace
Feb 16, 2019

You look great! I'm happy to hear that you love the Vivace treatments. For maintenance treatments, if you are doing it for fine lines/ anti-aging, then 4 treatments yearly may be sufficient. Some patients love the Vivace + PRP treatments so much they do it every 3 months, but i think ultimately it really depends on your skin type and your budget. Goretti H. Taghva MD FACS
