Costa Mesa Eyelid Surgery Doctors and Reviews

“I Look Like Me; the Better Looking...”

I had my eyelids done, a mini facelift and a rhinoplasty. Dr. Elam made me look very natural; no deer in the headlights or cookie cutter nose. No one believes that I am almost 50 and NO ONE believes I've had work done. I carry me before pictures with me to prove it. Dr. Elam made me look very natural; just like me only BETTER! I have referred at least 10 friends who have had various... more

“HATE the Results - Orange County, CA”

My right eye was a little lazy to begin with so while considering eyelid surgery for my drooping lids, I asked the surgeon if he could correct the lazy one at the same time. He said yes, he could 'improve' it. I told him that if he could correct it, that would be great, but if he couldn't, at least don't emphasize it. Well, he did just that. Not sure if he get confused but he... more

“The First Cosmetic Surgeon I Have...”

I had lower eyelid bags. I saw a number of well regarded plastic surgeons. They all gave me the creeps. They really seemed more interested in doing my boobs than my eyelids. I saw Dr. S. He actually examined me and talked to me about what I wanted. He was not like a slick salesman. He was really the first sugreon I have meet who was caring. I had arcus marginalis release surgery and lower... more

“Left with "Floppy" Eyelids! Doctors...”

First, right after my eyelide surgery, I noticed that the stitches were unever & that there were gaps where the skin seamed to 'gap' open. I just figured that the PS new what he was doing. Then I noticed that the incision 'crease' lines were not even! Now that it is 9 days post surgery, stiches out -- my eyes look horrible. I seem to have hanging eye lids above my incision... more

“Upper Eyelid Surgery Has Given Me a...”

When putting on eye make-up I felt that most of my eyelid was hidden under the small fold of excess skin. I wanted my somewhat small eyes to appear a little bigger. I thought that a less droopy upper eyelid would give me a younger and more rested appearance. A few months ago I decided to have a second stage fat transfer to add some fullness to my face since many people tell me I am too... more

“Upper Eyelid Hollowness 6 Years...”

I originally planned to only have lower eyelid surgery because I was always bothered by bagginess that made me look tired. There was some droopiness to the upper lids so the doctor suggested fixing that at the same time. I have fairly closely spaced eyes, and he told me that my age would show in my eyes more than anywhere else on my face, so having my eyes done could help me look younger... more

“So Glad I Finally Had a Lower Lid...”

I had a tremendous amount of fat under my eyes. I always looked so very tired and avoided family photos and such.After talking with 3 different doctors, I chose one I felt good about and had a lower lid transconjunctival blepharoplaty 4 days ago. I have only moderate swelling and no bruising.I am very happy with the results so far. I highly recommend researching the process, talking with a... more

“Eyes After 3 Weeks”

My treatment so far looks okay. I need to be patient. The operation itself wasn't painful, and neither is the recovery. The Dr. did have me take an over the counter herb that really stoped the brusing.I had lower eyelid surgery done 3 weeks ago. My left eye waters (like I am crying) all of the time, and it looks like the disovling stiches are still there. The Dr. says they will disolve, but... more

“Eyelid Surgery Changed the Shape of...”

I had upper and lower eyelid surgery and a bump removed from my nose. I would not do it again. I have not been happy with the results. The procedure and recovery were ok, but the result (after 6 months) is not what I anticipated. It did not improve my appearance; I believe it made me look worse.I had upper and lower eyelid surgey and it changed the shape of my eyes, and they often look... more

“Bags Begone”

I had upper and lower Bleph. ten years ago and felt great about it ever since. I was looking tired all of the time and I was self conscious because of the bags under my eyes and my upper eye lids were droopy. I think that I looked older than my natural years but every since, I have felt like I look much more relaxed and even younger! more
