Plastic surgery
Eyelid Lift in Los Alamitos, CA
A person’s eyes are a beautiful feature of the face that deserves to be visible, but sometimes, an excess of skin around the eyes can produce a tired and unflattering facial appearance. Triple board-certified plastic surgeon Raman Mehrzad uses eyelid surgery (known as blepharoplasty) to reduce excess skin and rejuvenate the lower or upper eyelid, creating an awakened appearance. Many men and women receive eyelid surgery at Ocean Plastic Surgery Center to eliminate saggy eyelids, which leads to improved facial functionality and appearance. Blepharoplasty, whether lower or upper, creates a more “bright-eyed” look and can give you natural-looking yet noticeable improvements. If you want to learn more about refreshing your eyes with eyelid lift surgery, contact us to schedule a consultation with Dr. Mehrzad at his practice in Los Alamitos, CA.
Based in Los Alamitos, we welcome patients from Orange County, Los Angeles, and all surrounding areas.
Neurotoxins and dermal fillers may help maintain and optimize surgical results over time. Ask during your consultation whether they are a good fit for your plan.
Patient success stories and transformations
Ideal candidates for an eyelid lift
Many patients who seek blepharoplasty feel that their eyes make them look old or tired. Many problems with the eyelids can be due to aging skin, but blepharoplasty is not reserved for older patients. Younger people with hereditary traits, trauma, and even chronic eye infections can also greatly benefit from this surgery. Upper or lower blepharoplasty is a surgical facial enhancement that is performed on both women and men. It can help improve the shape of the eyelids by trimming excess skin and sculpting the deeper layers of fat and muscle.
What to expect from an eyelid lift
Blepharoplasty can take up to two hours, depending on whether one or both eyes are treated. After this outpatient surgery, you should plan about a week to recover and rest at home. A cold compress can assist in reducing discomfort, swelling, and bruising. The outcomes from blepharoplasty may last a decade or longer, but while they are long-lasting, aging does not stop. To preserve your surgical outcomes, other nonsurgical cosmetic treatments at Ocean Plastic Surgery Center, such as fillers, peels, and lasers, can be used to maintain your youthful-looking appearance.
