Eyelift (Blepharoplasty) in Los Angeles

Call 310.550.6300 to schedule a consultation

Eyelid surgery or “blepharoplasty” treats drooping or fullness of the upper or lower eyelids. As men and women age, their upper eyelids tend to sag and their lower eyelids tend to become puffy. These developments can lead to a tired and older appearance. Blepharoplasty uses small incisions that are hidden within natural skin folds. Various amounts of excess skin, fat and muscle are removed. Scars are usually almost imperceptible. Sometimes the lower eyelids can be treated using incisions made on the inside of the lower eyelid, with no external scars, in a procedure called transconjunctival blepharoplasty. At Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery, we tailor our eyelid surgery to the needs of each individual patient. Though these procedures usually only last one to two hours, the improvements in appearance are often dramatic.

During your consultation at Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery, your plastic surgeon will examine you and discuss recommendations for the best type of procedure and incision placement to yield the best results. The procedure is usually done as an outpatient, under local anesthesia and sedation administered by a physician anesthesiologist to minimize discomfort during the procedure. Most patients have very little pain following the surgery because long-acting local anesthetic is administered as part of the procedure. Most patients return to work about a week after surgery. There may be some bruising for a week or so and some swelling for a few weeks following surgery. Read more about an eyelid lift in Los Angeles.
