“Dr. Nazarian is amazing. I was terrified of having any work done on my face - I guess I've watched too many episodes of "Botched." However, Dr. Nazarian put my fears completely to rest and I went confidently into surgery. I'm 65 - I've always looked younger than my age, but because of a large weight loss, I had baggy loose skin under my chin that instantly added 10 years to my age. My eyelids were loose and crepey, and my top lip vanished nearly every time I smiled. I had several procedures performed by Dr. Nazarian:

Yes. I am typically chatting with my patients about our lives as I refresh their eyes. The local anesthetic injections completely numb the area so you won’t feel a thing. And the nice thing about doing this procedure awake is that there is none of the grogginess that patients often feel with general anesthesia. It also makes the surgery faster. For patients who are anxious at the idea of being awake, we give them a little something before surgery to take the edge off. However, if I am combining eyelid surgery with another procedure such as a facelift that requires you to be asleep, I will perform both under general anesthesia.
The procedure itself is pain-free. You won’t feel anything thanks to the local anesthetic. After blepharoplasty surgery, you may experience some discomfort. The extent is going to depend on what exactly you have done as well as your individual pain tolerance. Honestly, most patients find this recovery to be comfortable. They don’t even take narcotics. We are happy to prescribe pain medications, but, typically, icing is enough.
Without assessing you in-person or at least seeing a photo, it is impossible to say. Fillers can help to improve that hollow look beneath the eye and/or camouflage or smooth the transition between your lower eyelid and your cheek. My best advice would be for you to schedule a consultation to be assessed in-person. Your eyes are such a vital part of your personality that you want to make certain that you are choosing the right procedure for your needs
We’ve all seen pictures of celebrities who no longer look like themselves after blepharoplasty. Although I believe that plastic surgery is a personal choice, my goal is never to change the look or shape of your eyes. They will simply look more lifted, bright and youthful. My best advice for ensuring a natural looking outcome is to see a surgeon whose aesthetic matches your own so check out his or her before-and-after photos.

Lower eyelid surgery can last a lifetime, while upper eyelid surgery can reduce in effect over the years. Upper eyelid surgery typically lasts 5 to 10 years.
If the reason for the procedure is age-related, patients between 40 and 50 years of age will see the best results. Any healthy adult who seeks to remedy sagging or droopy lids can benefit.
People with underlying health issues like diabetes, heart problems, hypertension, and dry eye should discuss with their practitioner if blepharoplasty is right for them. Patients over 60 may have increased risks of complications and less dramatic results.
Post-procedure swelling and healing can make it difficult to see your results immediately. Your eyes will retain the same shape and structure while reducing the signs of aging caused by the sagging and droopy eyelid skin.
Practitioners will ensure the patient’s comfort by using local or general anesthesia. Blepharoplasty procedures shouldn’t involve any procedural pain. Post-procedure discomfort and swelling are common.
Blepharoplasty incisions are hidden within the natural eyelid crease of the upper eyelid or by the lash line of the lower eyelid, so patients shouldn’t need to hide scars. You can alleviate post-procedure swelling and redness with ice packs and over-the-counter medications. Cosmetic concealers help reduce redness or discoloration.
