Eyelid Surgery/ Blepharoplasty in Beverly Hills
In a world where first impressions matter, the eyes play a pivotal role in how we are perceived. Often called the “windows to the soul,” our eyes communicate emotions, energy, and vitality. However, over time, the delicate skin around the eyes is among the first to show signs of aging. For those seeking to rejuvenate their appearance, eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, offers a highly effective solution. At Beverly Hills Physicians, we pride ourselves on delivering exceptional results tailored to each patient’s unique needs.
Known medically as blepharoplasty, eyelid surgery seeks to remove any flaws from eyelids that may distract from the beauty of the eyes themselves. This may include correcting dark, puffy circles under the eyes through a lower blepharoplasty procedure, dealing with an issue that can make a patient look tired or as if he or she is not getting enough sleep. For upper eyelids, BHP surgeons can address double hooded, heavy eyelids which make the eyes look smaller and more tired looking.
What is Eyelid Surgery?
Eyelid surgery, medically referred to as blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic or functional procedure designed to improve the appearance and functionality of the eyelids. The surgery can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on the patient’s needs. Common concerns addressed by this procedure include:
– Sagging or drooping upper eyelids: This condition may impair vision in severe cases.
– Puffiness or bags under the eyes: Often caused by fat deposits or fluid retention.
– Excess skin and fine wrinkles around the eyes: These are typically signs of aging or sun damage.
Procedures typically involve the removal of excess skin and fat on the eyelids and allow the surgeon to create a far more attractive setting for the eyes. This type of procedure is highly effective for treating eyelids that may appear droopy and can typically create a dramatically more youthful and vibrant appearance.
At the same time, blepharoplasty is not always a strictly cosmetic procedure. Sagging eyelids can actually interfere with peripheral vision, a particularly important matter while driving, playing sports, and participating in a range of activities. The procedure is extremely safe and visible scaring is so minimal as to be nonexistent.

Types of Blepharoplasty surgeries
Upper Eyelid Surgery
Upper eyelid surgery focuses on removing excess skin and fat that cause drooping or sagging. The incision is strategically placed along the natural crease of the eyelid to minimize visible scarring. This procedure not only rejuvenates the appearance but can also improve vision obstructed by overhanging skin.
Lower Eyelid Surgery
Lower eyelid surgery addresses puffiness, under-eye bags, and wrinkles. The incision is typically made just below the lash line or inside the lower lid, depending on the technique used. This allows for the removal or repositioning of fat, as well as tightening of the skin, resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Double Eyelid Surgery
Popular among patients seeking an enhanced eyelid crease, this procedure creates a defined fold in the upper eyelid. It is especially common among individuals of Asian descent and is tailored to preserve natural characteristics while achieving the desired look.
