Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) Anaheim, CA | Saba Motakef, MD

Understanding Blepharoplasty in Anaheim Hills

The eyes are a crucial component of facial beauty. With aging, excess skin over the upper eyelids or loose skin and puffy areas beneath the lower eyelids can create an unflattering appearance. Plastic surgeon Dr. Saba Motakef offers eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) to reduce excess skin and rejuvenate the upper or lower eyelids, creating a softer, refreshed look.

Benefits of Blepharoplasty

Patients choose eyelid surgery for multiple compelling reasons. The procedure can offer significant aesthetic and functional improvements:

• Improve your field of vision
• Add definition to the eyes
• Create a more youthful, refreshed appearance
• Address puffiness beneath the eyes
• Remove sagging skin around the eyes
• Enhance facial symmetry
• Reduce the appearance of wrinkles and lines

Candidacy for Blepharoplasty

Ideal candidates for blepharoplasty typically experience excess, sagging skin and folds above their eyes or bulging skin and fat beneath the bottom eyelid. In severe cases, these conditions can obstruct vision and hinder daily life. Patients seeking a more awake, alert, and rejuvenated appearance may be excellent candidates for this procedure.

Surgical Approach

Dr. Motakef performs blepharoplasty with meticulous precision, offering both upper and lower eyelid surgical options:

• Upper Eyelid Surgery: Removes hanging skin that can impair vision, creating a more awakened look
• Lower Eyelid Surgery: Reduces bulging fat and skin, potentially combined with fat transfer or resurfacing procedures

Recovery and Expectations

Eyelid surgery typically takes two to three hours when addressing both upper and lower eyelids. Patients should expect several days of rest, with swelling and bruising lasting approximately two weeks. Results can potentially last a decade or longer, though aging continues naturally.

Complementary Treatments

To maintain surgical outcomes, Dr. Motakef recommends nonsurgical treatments like lasers, chemical peels, and fillers to sustain a youthful appearance.
