Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Upper and lower eyelid surgery to address drooping skin, puffiness, and under-eye bags that create a tired or aged appearance. Upper eyelid lift removes redundant skin along the natural lid crease. Lower blepharoplasty addresses herniated orbital fat via transconjunctival or subciliary approach. Can be combined with brow lift or facelift. Recovery allows return to work within seven to ten days.

Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) at Zarrabi Plastic Surgery focuses on restoring a rested, alert appearance to the upper and lower eyelid region. The eyes are often the first facial feature to show visible ageing: upper eyelids develop excess, overhanging skin that can even impair the superior visual field, while lower eyelids may develop festoons, under-eye bags caused by herniated orbital fat, and fine crepey skin. Upper eyelid blepharoplasty removes a precisely measured strip of redundant skin along the natural lid crease, with the resulting scar concealed within the crease when the eye is open. Excess fatty tissue responsible for lid heaviness is conservatively removed or redistributed. The procedure can be performed under local anaesthesia with sedation or under general anaesthesia depending on patient preference and whether it is combined with other procedures. Lower eyelid surgery targets under-eye bags, puffiness, and skin laxity. A transconjunctival approach (incision inside the lower lid) leaves no visible external scar and is preferred for patients whose primary concern is fat repositioning or removal without significant skin excess. When skin laxity is present, a subciliary (below-the-lash) incision allows for simultaneous skin tightening. Blepharoplasty is frequently combined with a brow lift to correct brow ptosis that contributes to upper lid heaviness, or with a facelift for comprehensive periorbital and facial rejuvenation. Recovery is straightforward — most patients can return to work within seven to ten days; bruising and swelling in the lid area resolve over two to three weeks. The Beverly Hills office is located at 150 S Rodeo Dr #200; consultations are also available at the Santa Monica location.
