Upper Eyelid Surgery Beverly Hills

The eyes are one of our most expressive features and one of the first areas of the face to show the signs of aging. Over time, the muscles of the upper eyelids lose their strength and begin to sag, in a condition called ptosis. The skin of the upper eyelids loses elasticity and begins to droop, creating a new skin fold that can even hang over the eyelashes, obstructing the field of vision. This condition is known as blepharochalasis. Dr. Torkian can provide some of the best results from eyelid surgery in Beverly Hills that patients can rely on to combat the symptoms of blepharochalasis.

Upper Eyelid Surgery Beverly Hills Procedure

This is a minor surgery that produces truly dramatic results. It is performed on an outpatient basis and can be combined with other facial rejuvenation procedures, including lower eyelid surgery.

An incision is made within the natural crease of the eyelid to allow for tightening of the muscle, removal or repositioning of fat deposits, and removal of excess skin. The placement of the incisions in the natural crease of the eyelids ensures that surgical scars are fully concealed within the natural structure of the eyelid area.

The incisions are closed with sutures or medical skin glue. If sutures are used, they are removed within one week. Results become evident after the minor swelling and bruising subside. The eyelid and surrounding area will be better defined and the eyes will appear brighter, more alert, and rejuvenated.
