Blepharoplasty with Dr. Kouros Azar

Our eyes convey the emotion and meaning behind the words we speak. Beautiful, expressive eyes are assets worth taking care of. Puffy pockets of fat and droopy or sagging eyelid skin have an aging effect that can make you look tired or angry and affect the way you express yourself to others. Board-certified plastic surgeon Kouros Azar, M.D., offers blepharoplasty in Thousand Oaks to help Simi Valley, Westlake Village, and Newbury Park women and men restore a well-rested and refreshed look. If blepharoplasty is right for you, request a consultation with Dr. Azar to discuss the possibilities. Or you can call our office at (805) 373-7073, and one of our knowledgeable, friendly staff members will schedule your appointment.

When skillfully performed by Dr. Azar, eyelid surgery can have a subtle yet significant effect on your eyes. This procedure can renew the eye area in a variety of ways, which include:

Lifting drooping upper eyelids to restore the natural eyelid crease and eliminate hooding of the upper eyelids
Removing excess upper eyelid skin
Reducing puffy lower eyelid bags and reduce wrinkles of the lower eyelid
Providing an alert, more refreshed look
Improving peripheral vision

Refresh and Renew

What is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty tightens and lifts saggy-looking eyelid skin and can be performed on the upper or lower eyelids.

The procedure may also include removing or redistributing fat beneath the skin, giving the eye area a tighter, less puffy, and more youthful appearance. Upper and lower eyelid surgery can be performed separately or simultaneously using local or general anesthesia. The procedure usually takes between one and three hours. Dr. Azar will need to do a complete history and physical exam of the eye and eyelids to determine the best procedure for you. Thousand Oaks blepharoplasty provider, Dr Azar, may also discuss your goals and, if making the eyes look more awake or open, he may discuss a brow lift procedure to be done at the same time to achieve what you are looking for. This can be done with natural results and not a “surprised look”, please see the brow lift section of the website.

Enhancing Eyes & Vision

Blepharoplasty Benefits

In addition to achieving a more youthful appearance, patients who have had blepharoplasty may experience other benefits, such as improved vision and a reduction in headaches. Depending on which procedure(s) you choose, eyelid surgery can be performed in under an hour under local anesthesia, significantly reducing your recovery time. A more complicated eyelid surgery procedure will require general anesthesia. Overall, this is a relatively simple procedure with minimal discomfort or pain to the surgical site. Usually, the only pain a patient will experience during eyelid surgery is from the anesthesia shot if done awake.

At a glance:

Upper blepharoplasty: Corrects hooding, lifts droopy skin, restores natural eyelid crease, and improves peripheral vision.
Lower blepharoplasty: Reduces puffiness, tightens skin, smooths wrinkles, rejuvenates under-eye area.
Overall: Creates a more rested and alert appearance, boosts self-confidence, can reduce headaches caused by eyelid strain, minimal scarring, long-lasting results.

Are You a Candidate?

Blepharoplasty Candidates

Non-smokers with drooping or puffy skin in lower eyelids or hooded, heavy-looking, or asymmetrical upper eyelids make great candidates for this procedure. In addition, if you experience headaches due to problems with your vision—you may benefit more than cosmetically alone—and may be a great candidate for eyelid surgery. Severe cases of eyelid drooping with very loose lower eyelids may require additional procedures to tighten the lower eyelid. This will be determined by Thousand Oaks eye lid surgery expert, Dr. Azar at the time of your consultation

Inside Eyelid Surgery

Your Blepharoplasty Treatment

Blepharoplasty usually involves the removal or adjustment of the eyelid skin, muscle, and fat. It can be performed on either the upper or lower eyelids or both. For the upper eyelids, incisions are concealed along the crease of the upper eyelids. Excess skin is removed, and the incisions are then closed, leaving only very thin scars that will fade over time.

When correcting the lower eyelids, Dr. Azar uses the transconjunctival technique, where he removes the pockets of fat that cause puffy under-eye bags through an incision inside the lower eyelids. Some of the lower eyelid fat may also be repositioned (orbital fat repositioning) to treat hollowing of the inner aspect of the tear trough or lower eyelid volume loss. When appropriate, Westlake Village eyelid surgery expert, Dr. Azar combines the procedure with a pinch eyelid surgery, which removes a “pinch” of skin along the lower lash line. This technique reduces skin laxity under the eyes. Dr. Azar prefers the pinch technique over other types of lower eyelid surgery because it does not impact the eyelid supporting structures and keeps the eyes looking natural.

Look Refreshed, Feel Renewed

Results, Recovery, and Aftercare

Blepharoplasty can give a more youthful, tight appearance to the skin around the eyes, helping you look refreshed and alert. Blepharoplasty incisions are minimal and difficult to detect once healed because of their location in the creases of the skin. Dr. Azar will provide personalized aftercare instructions to help you achieve and maintain the procedure results.

Some Westlake Village blepharoplasty patients may experience swelling and bruising for a week after the procedure. You should limit strenuous exercise during this time and wear sunglasses to protect the eyes as the skin heals. Most people find the swelling and bruising decrease enough to feel comfortable going out in public about two weeks after the procedure.

The Price of Comfort

How Much Does Blepharoplasty Cost?

Blepharoplasty cost varies based on the number of eyelids treated, type of anesthesia, surgical complexity, and facility fees. Costs may include surgeon and anesthesiologist fees, the operating facility, medications, and post-operative care. Because each patient’s needs are unique, Dr. Azar provides individualized pricing during your consultation in Thousand Oaks, CA. Insurance may cover surgery if it improves vision.
