A Youthful, Energized Appearance

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

What is eyelid surgery?

Eyelid surgery 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 eyelid surgery provider, Dr Azar may also discuss your goals and if making the eyes look more awake or open, he may discuss a browlift 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 browlift section of the website.

Look Refreshed and Awake

What are the benefits of eyelid surgery?

In addition to achieving a more youthful appearance, patients who have had eyelid surgery may experience other benefits, such as improved vision and a reduction in headaches. Depending on which procedure(s) you choose, blepharoplasty (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.

Am I a good candidate for eyelid surgery?

Non-smokers with drooping or puffy skin in lower eyelids or hooded, heavy-looking, or asymmetrical upper eyelids make great candidates for this procedure.

Life-Changing Results, Fast

Your Eyelid Surgery Procedure

Eyelid surgery 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 The incisions are 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, 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.
