About

Dr. Giriraj K. Sharma, MD, MS, is a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon practicing in Newport Beach, California. He specializes in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, offering procedures such as deep plane facelifts, deep neck lifts, rhinoplasty, and his Sharma Signature Full-Face Surgical Rejuvenation. Dr. Sharma emphasizes a comprehensive approach to the brow-eyelid complex, aiming for powerful and natural results. He customizes every Upper Blepharoplasty to unique patient anatomy, taking measurements down to fractions of millimeters. Dr. Sharma prefers minimal-access / endoscopic brow lifts, utilizing small incisions hidden behind the hairline, and employs a deep plane tension-free closure technique designed to preserve ear shape. He considers fractional CO2 laser resurfacing, using the UltraPulse ALPHA by Lumenis, as "icing on the cake" for comprehensive facial rejuvenation, noting its ability to erase fine lines and sun damage. His practice values a refreshed and natural appearance, with scars from full-face rejuvenation often nearly invisible. Dr. Sharma communicates upfront that recovery timelines vary and ensures his team provides comprehensive support throughout the process.

Source →
What is mechanical ptosis?
Mechanical ptosis is a condition where the weight of excess eyelid skin holds the upper eyelid down, making the eyes appear small and potentially limiting the visual field.
Source →
How is mechanical ptosis corrected?
Removing excess skin lightens the eyelid and naturally corrects mechanical ptosis, allowing the eyes to open more.
Source →
What are other types of ptosis that require surgical treatment?
Aponeurotic ptosis, congenital ptosis, and traumatic ptosis are other eyelid pathologies that must be surgically treated.

How does aging affect the brows and eyes?
As people age, their brows descend and can crowd their eyes, potentially leading to a fatigued and aged appearance.
Source →
When is a brow lift indicated?
A brow lift is indicated when a patient's external appearance due to brow descent does not match how they feel internally.
Source →
Are non-surgical treatments effective for significant brow descent?
At a certain point, non-surgical treatments like makeup, Botox, filler, lasers, and microneedling are insufficient to correct brow descent.
Source →
Does Dr. Sharma recommend PDO threads for brow correction?
No, the practice advises against using PDO threads for brow correction.
Source →
What is a key technical aspect for an effective brow lift?
For an effective brow lift, the dense ligaments tethering the brow around the orbit must be fully released below the deep plane to allow the brow to relax and be reset.
Source →
What are the incision details for a minimal-access / endoscopic brow lift?
A minimal-access / endoscopic brow lift involves 2 or 4 small incisions that are hidden behind the hairline.
Source →
Which facial region typically shows the first signs of aging?
The eyes are typically the first region of the face to show signs of aging.
Source →
What are the common needs addressed by Upper Blepharoplasty?
Some patients undergoing Upper Blepharoplasty only need removal of excess upper eyelid skin, while others may require adjunct procedures like fat reduction, fat repositioning, brow fat pad suspension, ptosis repair (internal or external), and canthoplasty.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2024)

$119

Payments

1

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Giriraj K. Sharma received $119 across 1 payment in 2024. That is in the lower half for physicians here — totals this size are typically meals at sponsored talks. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was SCPHARMACEUTICALS INC..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
