Techniques named for blepharoplasty: Transconjunctival Lower Eyelid Surgery, Combination Blepharoplasty, Traditional Blepharoplasty.
Upper blepharoplasty removes a measured amount of that skin through an incision designed to sit in the natural eyelid crease.
Discreet Scarring: Transconjunctival lower eyelid surgery is scarless. We conceal upper eyelid scars in the eyelid's natural crease.
A facelift can be effectively combined with other cosmetic procedures, such as brow lifts , eyelid lifts and injectable fillers , for a comprehensive facial rejuvenation strategy.
Blepharoplasty can be performed on the upper eyelids and lower eyelids, depending on the needs of the patient. You may benefit from having a blepharoplasty procedure if you are in overall good health and have no serious eye conditions or diseases.
Cosmetic eyelid surgery can create a more youthful look by removing, lifting, and smoothing excess skin and fat from the upper and lower eyelids.
Because the treatment area is small and the incision follows an existing eyelid crease, upper blepharoplasty is a very different recovery from a large facial operation. Swelling and bruising are real, but the social downtime is usually measured in days rather than months.
In some cases, a patient is a good candidate for upper or lower blepharoplasty alone. However, treating all 4 eyelids at once (quad blepharoplasty) usually gives the best and most consistently refreshed result.
Combination Blepharoplasty: Both the upper and lower eyelids are treated in a single procedure. This approach addresses multiple concerns at once and can create a more balanced appearance.
At Eyesthetica , we specialize in eyelid surgery and can help you achieve the most natural-looking results while preserving the health and comfort of your eyes.
Eyelid lift surgery can be performed on its own or in conjunction with other facial procedures, if more extensive rejuvenation is desired. Dr. Petti commonly performs eyelid lift as a complement to brow lift and facelift surgeries.
During upper blepharoplasty, Dr. Bray, Jr. will remove this excess skin and in some cases remove excess fatty tissue and muscle.
Traditional Blepharoplasty: An incision is made in the supratarsal crease of the upper eyelid . This crease is usually about 10 mm above the eyelashes. A superior incision is then made to remove the excess skin in the upper eyelid .
Another one of the most commonly performed procedures in plastic surgery is lower eyelid blepharoplasty. This surgery can be fraught with complications unless performed by someone who is an expert in the area.
Lower eyelid blepharoplasty can make a significant change in the appearance of the face, improving the appearance of tiredness and old age by eliminating the excess, wrinkly skin or puffiness under the eyes. The eyes appear fresher and more youthful, and the results may last for many years.
Blepharoplasty generally runs $3,200–$7,500 per procedure, and each Torrance clinic sets its own price. The biggest variables are the provider's experience level and the specific device or product used. Newer technology and senior injectors price at the upper end. Pricing is quoted in US dollars (USD). Request a consultation from any of our listed Torrance clinics for a personalized quote.
Maintenance schedules vary. Most Torrance providers recommend periodic refresh sessions every 6–12 months once optimal results are achieved.
Most patients wait 24 hours before applying makeup to avoid irritation on freshly-treated skin.
Pull the skin under your eye gently downward and outward while looking in a mirror. If the darkness or shadow disappears, you are dealing with a hollow or a contour issue, which filler can often address. If a bulge remains or the skin itself is loose and crepey, that is tissue, and only surgery removes tissue. Upper lids follow the same logic: if skin rests on your lashes or folds over the crease, no injectable will lift it meaningfully.
Sometimes, for upper eyelids only, and only when the hooding is severe enough to obstruct vision. That requires a documented visual field test showing the obstruction, performed by an ophthalmologist or optometrist. Lower blepharoplasty is considered cosmetic in essentially all cases. Ask the surgeon's office to run the insurance verification before you assume either way, because the answer varies by carrier and by how much field loss the test shows.
Upper blepharoplasty results typically hold for 10 to 15 years, and many patients never need a revision. Lower blepharoplasty is often effectively permanent for the fat that was removed, since those fat pads do not regrow. What continues is normal aging of the surrounding skin, which is why some patients pair surgery with resurfacing or continue with skincare afterward.
Temporary dry eye is the most common complaint and usually resolves within weeks. Less common issues include asymmetry between the two sides, visible scarring in patients prone to it, and in lower-lid surgery, a pulled-down appearance to the lid margin called ectropion, which is uncommon in experienced hands but is the main reason lower blepharoplasty rewards surgeon selection. Serious complications affecting vision are rare. Discuss your specific risk factors, including dry eye history and thyroid conditions, at consultation.
Both plastic surgeons certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and oculoplastic surgeons, who are ophthalmologists with additional fellowship training in eyelid and orbital surgery, perform this operation regularly. For lower-lid work in particular, oculoplastic training is a genuine advantage worth asking about. Either way, confirm the certification directly rather than relying on a website description.
