Blepharoplasty in Beverly Hills: What You Need to Know
Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to address changes in the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both. As the skin loses elasticity over time, excess skin may begin to droop along the upper lids, while fat deposits can contribute to puffiness or hollowing beneath the eyes. These changes may cause a patient to look fatigued or older than they feel, and in some cases, excess upper eyelid skin may begin to interfere with the visual field.
During upper blepharoplasty, a surgeon typically removes or repositions excess skin and, when appropriate, underlying fat through carefully placed incisions within the eyelid’s natural crease. Lower blepharoplasty may involve removing or redistributing fat deposits and addressing laxity in the lower lid skin through either an external or transconjunctival incision, depending on each patient’s anatomy and goals.
Dr. Hassanzadeh approaches every blepharoplasty consultation in Beverly Hills with a focus on preserving the patient’s natural facial harmony. Her training in facial and reconstructive surgery, combined with her academic background in Neuroscience from Duke University and her medical degree from the University of Arizona College of Medicine, informs a meticulous, anatomy-driven technique.
Are You a Candidate for Blepharoplasty?
Ideal candidates for blepharoplasty are adults in good general health who are experiencing visible changes around the eyes that non-surgical approaches have not fully addressed. A thorough consultation with Dr. Hassanzadeh will confirm whether eyelid surgery is appropriate for your anatomy, skin quality, and aesthetic goals.
Patients who tend to benefit most from blepharoplasty often describe one or more of the following concerns:
- Excess skin along the upper eyelids that may contribute to a heavy or hooded appearance
- Puffiness or persistent under-eye bags that remain regardless of sleep or skincare
- Fine lines and crepey texture along the lower eyelid area
- A tired or aged appearance that does not reflect how the patient actually feels
- Loss of definition in the upper eyelid crease
- Upper lid fullness that may affect the peripheral visual field
Patients who smoke, have certain eye conditions, or have unrealistic expectations about outcome may not be ideal candidates. During your consultation, Dr. Hassanzadeh will review your medical history, examine your eyelid anatomy, and discuss realistic outcomes based on your individual anatomy. Results vary by patient, and a personalized evaluation is the only way to determine candidacy. You are also encouraged to review patient testimonials from Dr. Hassanzadeh’s Beverly Hills practice to understand the range of experiences patients have had.
What to Expect at Dr. Hassanzadeh’s Practice
Your blepharoplasty Beverly Hills journey begins with a thorough one-on-one consultation with Dr. Hassanzadeh. During this appointment, she will listen carefully to your concerns, evaluate your eyelid anatomy, discuss your goals, and explain the surgical approach she recommends based on your specific needs. This is also the time to ask questions about the procedure, anesthesia, recovery, and expected outcomes.
Most patients undergo blepharoplasty as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia with sedation, though the approach will be tailored to each individual. The procedure itself typically takes one to three hours, depending on whether one or both eyelid pairs are being treated. Dr. Hassanzadeh places incisions within the natural contours of the eyelid to help minimize visible scarring over time.
Following surgery, most patients experience swelling, bruising, and some mild discomfort in the days immediately after the procedure. These effects are typically well-managed with prescribed aftercare and tend to improve meaningfully within the first one to two weeks, though individual recovery timelines vary. Most patients feel comfortable returning to light activity within seven to ten days, though strenuous activity is typically restricted longer. Final results, including full resolution of swelling, may take several weeks to several months to fully appreciate. Individual results may vary.
For patients who may benefit from complementary, non-surgical treatments around the eye area, Dr. Hassanzadeh may also discuss options such as Botox and neuromodulators in Beverly Hills or lasers and microneedling in Beverly Hills during your consultation.
