Eyelid Surgery Los Angeles & Beverly Hills

Upper and lower eyelid surgery results are long-lasting, typically 10–15 years or more, depending on your skin quality, genetics, and lifestyle factors. Aging continues naturally, but the procedure significantly slows visible signs around the eyes.

The ideal candidate for eyelid surgery has sagging skin in the upper lids, or discoloration, puffiness, and fat buildup in the lower lids. Dr. Lee evaluates your anatomy and goals to recommend upper eyelid surgery, lower eyelid surgery, or both.

Dr. Lee’s techniques are designed to enhance and refresh your natural eye shape, not drastically change it. The goal is a youthful, balanced look that complements your facial features.

No. Dr. Lee’s modern approach removes only as much skin as needed and adds a degree of volume to avoid a sunken or hollowed look. The result is a fuller, more youthful eyelid. See examples in our eyelid surgery before and after gallery.
