Each patient is unique and individual results may vary*
Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance and sometimes function of the upper and/or lower eyelids. This versatile surgery can address various concerns around the eye area, creating a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
For patients with excess skin and fat in the upper eyelids, upper blepharoplasty removes hooding and creates a more open, youthful eye appearance. This procedure can also improve vision when drooping skin significantly blocks the field of sight. The incisions are hidden in the natural crease of the eyelid, making scars virtually invisible once healed.
Lower blepharoplasty addresses under-eye bags, puffiness, and dark circles by removing or repositioning fat deposits for a refreshed look. This procedure can also tighten loose skin in the lower eyelid area. Incisions may be placed just below the lash line or inside the eyelid for minimal visible scarring.
Many patients benefit from both upper and lower procedures performed together for comprehensive eye area enhancement and dramatic results. Dr. Diaz recognizes that every patient requires a unique approach for optimal results.

During this initial conversation, you’ll discuss your goals, review details about cost, scheduling, recovery, and payment options, and have all your questions answered. This informative, no-obligation discussion is designed to help you make a confident and informed decision about your next step.
Meet with Dr. Diaz for a comprehensive, hour-long consultation to discuss your concerns about your eye area. During this detailed appointment, Dr. Diaz will listen to your goals and examine how your eyelids affect your overall appearance and potentially your vision.
Next, Dr. Diaz performs a thorough assessment of your eyelid anatomy, including skin elasticity, muscle tone, fat distribution, and brow position. This evaluation helps determine whether you need upper blepharoplasty, lower blepharoplasty, or a combination approach for optimal results.
Using state-of-the-art imaging technology, Dr. Diaz creates detailed treatment plans customized to your unique anatomy. This helps visualize potential outcomes and ensures you have realistic expectations about your eyelid surgery results.
Eyelid surgery is ideal for individuals seeking to improve the appearance or function of their eye area. Whether for cosmetic enhancement or to address vision issues, this procedure can provide significant benefits. Here’s what makes a good candidate for blepharoplasty:
Eyelid surgery is perfect for those unhappy with:
If drooping upper lids interfere with your vision or peripheral sight, upper blepharoplasty can improve your field of vision while enhancing your appearance.
Good candidates should:
Upper blepharoplasty addresses excess skin and fat in the upper eyelids that can create a hooded appearance or interfere with vision. Lower blepharoplasty targets under-eye bags, puffiness, and sometimes loose skin in the lower eyelid area. Many patients benefit from both procedures performed together for comprehensive eye rejuvenation. Dr. Diaz will assess your specific needs during consultation to recommend the best approach.
Dr. Diaz places incisions strategically to minimize visible scarring. Upper eyelid scars are hidden in the natural crease and become virtually invisible once healed. Lower eyelid incisions are placed inside the eyelid, making them invisible. The blepharoplasty scar is considered to be one of the least noticeable scars in all of cosmetic surgery.
Most patients experience mild swelling and bruising for the first week after surgery. Ice packs and keeping your head elevated help minimize these effects. Many patients return to work within 7-10 days, though you may want to plan for additional time if your job requires public interaction. Stitches are typically removed within one week. Full results become apparent as swelling completely resolves over 1-3 months.
In cases where excess upper eyelid skin significantly droops and blocks peripheral or central vision, upper blepharoplasty can indeed improve your field of vision. This functional improvement is often covered by insurance when medical necessity is documented. Dr. Diaz will assess whether your eyelid concerns are purely cosmetic or if there’s a functional component that could benefit from surgical correction.
Eyelid surgery primarily addresses skin and fat issues within the eyelid area itself. While it can create a more youthful appearance, it doesn’t treat crow’s feet (which respond better to Botox) or significant brow sagging (which may require a brow lift). During your consultation, Dr. Diaz may recommend complementary treatments to achieve your overall aesthetic goals for the eye area.
Eyelid surgery results are long-lasting, with most patients enjoying their improved appearance for 10-15 years or more. While the natural aging process continues, the improvements from blepharoplasty are permanent in the sense that your eyes will always look younger after blepharoplasty than they would look without blepharoplasty. Maintaining good skincare and sun protection can help preserve your results for many years.
Ideal candidates for blepharoplasty include individuals with excess eyelid skin, under-eye bags, or drooping eyelids that make them appear tired or aged. You should be in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and be bothered by the appearance of your eyelids. Some patients also qualify when drooping upper lids interfere with their vision. Dr. Diaz will evaluate your candidacy during a comprehensive consultation.
Yes, eyelid surgery is commonly combined with other facial rejuvenation procedures for comprehensive results. Popular combinations include brow lifts (to address forehead sagging), facelifts (for overall facial rejuvenation), or non-surgical treatments like Botox and dermal fillers. Dr. Diaz will discuss which combinations are appropriate for your goals and can safely be performed together.
The cost of eyelid surgery varies depending on whether you need upper, lower, or both eyelids treated, as well as the complexity of your case. In Beverly Hills, upper blepharoplasty typically ranges from $6,000 to $10,000, while lower blepharoplasty ranges from $7,000 to $12,000. Combined procedures may offer cost savings. Dr. Diaz provides detailed pricing during your consultation, and we offer flexible financing options to make your procedure more accessible.
Risks are the same as for any other surgery and include bleeding, bruising, swelling and scarring. However, serious complications are rare with Dr. Diaz’s precise surgical technique.
Most swelling and bruising improve within 2–3 weeks, with final results visible between 1-3 months as tissues settle and scars mature.
Blepharoplasty can be performed under local anesthesia with sedation, or general anesthesia, depending on the patient’s needs and comfort.
Patients should be in good overall health; uncontrolled medical conditions, severe dry eyes, or unrealistic expectations may make surgery unsuitable.
Patients should avoid direct sun, strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, and eye makeup or contact lenses until cleared by Dr. Diaz to ensure proper healing.
Most patients can safely resume makeup or contact lenses about 1–2 weeks after surgery, following Dr. Diaz’s post-op instructions.
No — Dr. Diaz’s technique preserves eyelid function, so patients maintain normal blinking, closing, and tear drainage after healing.
