West Hollywood Eyelid Surgery Doctors and Reviews

“Lower Transconjunctival...”

I had this done as an afterthought to my rhinoplasty. I've had bags under my eyes since I was a young child. As early as age 11 I started getting the comment that would follow me until I had this surgery "You look so tired, are you sleeping well?". Even a month before the surgery, I was explaining to a friend that I added-on the eye procedure to which he replied "can't... more

“Upper and Lower Lift + a Tighten-up...”

In addition to the upper and lower lift, the doctor performed a mini cheek lift while she was doing the uppers. I would do it again in a heartbeat. I was tired of my mother telling me how tired I looked but, more than that, I was tired of looking older than I felt. The entire process went very smoothly and they worked with me to accommodate my schedule for an event I didn't want to... more

“Finally, Look Like Myself - Beverly...”

I had a very prestigious Beverly Hills Dr. transfer fat from my stomach to the area under my eyes. In time, the fat grew and distorted my entire face. My sister yelled at me and told me I looked like a monster. I resorted to every kind of filler to even out my face and to just look normal. Well, nothing worked. I then consulted with 5 different surgeons and knew I found the right man when... more

“Fabulous Eyelid Surgery from Caring...”

My eyeliner was smearing onto my eyelid. Didn't like it at all. Wanted to open up my eye.I went to a social event 5 days later with slight bruising on my cheek which I was able to cover with makeup on. Arnica is good to reduce bruising. more

“Mystery Shopper - Beverly Hills, CA”

Though I had a medical problem, plastic surgery was required to repair the damage. I am terrified of general anesthesia. Dr. G. performed complex eyelid surgery with only LOCAL injections. He had great concern for MY comfort, which made the experience much less difficult. I am terrified of general anesthesia. Dr. G. performed complex eyelid surgery with only LOCAL injections. more

“The Eyes Are the Window to the Soul...”

Out of the blue one morning I realized my eyelids were screaming at me Help! I took action and saw Dr. G for Help. My world has changed. I adore the results and wondered why I had not done it sooner. There was virtually no downtime. 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

“Cheaper Than a Psychiatrist -...”

I would only go with an ophthalmologist for any cosmetic surgery involving the eyes. I feel so much more confident and better about myself. I have concluded that he is cheaper than a psychiatrist. An additional bonus: there was VERY LITTLE downtime! more

“Professional, Perfect, Priceless and...”

Needed it for my career on TV. more

“Fixing my Drooping Eyelid Took Years...”

My whole life one of my eyelids was drooping. As I got older it was even less attractive. The doctor showed me before and after pictures of other patients with very similar eyelids and I was convinced. After the surgery the pain was minimal but I was very swollen and did not been comfortable going out for about a week. When the swelling subsided I really could not have been happier with... more

“Truly Gifted Surgeon and Wonderfull...”

I had the ptosis surgery to look more refreshed and less "sad and tired" more

“Eyelid Surgery - Newport Beach, CA”

For the longest time, I debated to have my eyelids done. Since I turned 60, my upper eyelids were dropping over my eyes and my lower eyelids were getting puffier by the day. Like many others though, I was afraid of surgery. But when I heard so many good things from my friends about Dr. S, and after I did my own research, I gathered the courage to at least consider it. This was a big... 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

“Severe Chemosis After Upper Bleph”

I would not have gone through w/ the surgery if I had known about chemosis. I did the operation to even the eyelids. The doctor I chose was knowledable about Asian Eyelids.I had the Upper Bleph done almost two weeks ago with dissolvable suture. I removed the stitches that did not dissolve on day 4 (per PS instructions). The reason I removed my own stitches is because my PS is about 6 hours... 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

“Shouldn't Have Had Surgery when...”

I was tired of getting botox every 6 months so I decided to finally seek out a good eye surgeon. I had an upper bleph, ptosis repair and a browlift. The ptosis repair was to lift the eyelid so more of my iris would show and I wouldn't look so sleepy. The upper bleph was supposed to get rid of the hooding, and the browlift was supposed to keep the bleph from pulling down the eyeli more

“Lower Eyelid Surgery Left Me with a...”

“Bad Results from Eyebag Removal -...”

I had my undereye bags removed, even thought i made it clear i wanted to leave some fat in, now 3 yrs later i have loose skin. is there anything i can have done without going under the knife? I ahev heard about Alumin, is that worth having done? thanks. more

“Blepharoplasty - Upper”

My upper Blepharoplasty was covered by insurance because it had reduced my peripheral vision. While it's a fairly simple procedure, my recovery wasn't as quick as doctors will tell you it will be. Allow about two weeks and then, even with ice compresses and arnica cream, the redness may still be noticeable. Overall, I recommend the procedure. I have had many people tell me the difference... more

“Mixed Results - Do Your Homework!”

While I would definitely do it again, MANY doctors take out too much fat, and eventually, you will get a "hollowing out" underneath your eyes. It doesn't show the first year or two.. but eventually, it does. This is a VERY common mistake plastic surgeons make when doing this procedure. And I thought I had one of the best... used to be head of Plastic Surgery at St. Josephs... 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
