Eyelid Surgery in Los Angeles (Blepharoplasty)

Rejuvenate Tired Eyes & Rediscover a Youthful Look with Dr. Babak Moein

Are drooping eyelids, under-eye bags, or fine wrinkles making you look tired, older, or even interfering with your vision? Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a safe and effective cosmetic procedure that restores a refreshed, alert, and youthful appearance.

At Moein Surgical Arts in Los Angeles, Dr. Babak Moein, a dual fellowship-trained cosmetic surgeon, performs advanced eyelid surgery tailored to your aesthetic and functional goals.

What Is Eyelid Surgery?

Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) is a cosmetic procedure that removes sagging skin, tightens muscle, and reduces puffiness around the eyes. This treatment is ideal for addressing:

• Drooping upper eyelids that may impair vision
• Puffy under-eye bags and dark circles
• Wrinkles, fine lines, and excess skin on the lower lids

Whether for cosmetic improvement or enhanced vision, blepharoplasty can help you look more awake, refreshed, and confident.

Who Is a Candidate for Eyelid Surgery?

• Struggling with puffiness, drooping skin, or functional vision obstruction
• Have realistic expectations about results

Both men and women can benefit from eyelid surgery, whether the motivation is aesthetic or medical.

Upper vs. Lower Eyelid Surgery

Depending on your unique needs, Dr. Moein may recommend:

Upper Eyelid Surgery

• Removes excess skin and fat
• Lifts sagging lids
• Improves vision and aesthetic appearance

Lower Eyelid Surgery

• Reduces puffiness and bags
• Tightens skin under the eyes
• Smooths fine lines and wrinkles

For many patients, both procedures can be performed together during the same session.

The Eyelid Surgery Procedure

Eyelid surgery typically takes 1 to 3 hours, depending on the extent of the work.

Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty

• Performed under IV sedation or general anesthesia
• Incisions are hidden in the natural crease of the eyelid
• Excess skin and fat are removed
• Incisions are closed with sutures or adhesives

Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty

• Two incision options:
  • Subciliary (just below the lash line) for excess skin and fat
  • Transconjunctival (inside the eyelid) for fat removal only, minimizing visible scarring
• Tissue is sculpted for a smooth, youthful contour
• Incisions are closed with fine sutures or dissolvable materials

Recovery and Results

• Initial Recovery: 7–10 days of rest with light activity
• Bruising & Swelling: Peak within the first 24–48 hours, then gradually fade
• Stitch Removal: Usually within 3 to 7 days
• Back to Normal: Most patients resume regular routines in 1 to 2 weeks
• Protective Measures: Wear sunglasses and avoid screens or reading for prolonged periods
• Dry Eyes: Common post-surgery and easily managed with lubricating drops

With proper care, results last 5 to 7 years or longer. Many patients only need one procedure in their lifetime.

Cost of Eyelid Surgery in Los Angeles
