Ali Ghafouri, MD

I had an outstanding experience with Dr. Ghafouri and his incredible team. They truly went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and satisfaction. I initially visited his office due to a disappointing procedure I received from an aesthetic injector, which left me with significant hollowness and bags under my left eye. Dr. Ghafouri immediately reassured me that he could address the issue, and I am thrilled to report that he delivered exceptional results. After undergoing a lower left blepharoplasty, fat grafting and CO2 laser treatment, I couldn't be happier with the outcome. In fact, I decided to treat both eyes, even though the right eye didn't require it, because I wanted a balanced and harmonious look. The professionalism, skill, and care exhibited by Dr. Ghafouri and his staff made all the difference in my journey, and I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking top-notch aesthetic care.

Dr Ghafouri is a highly skilled plastic surgeon specializing in facial and ocular surgery. I underwent a previous blepharoplasty with a different surgeon and suffered lid retraction and ectropion as a result of it. It was emotionally devastating and physically disfiguring for me and I walked around with sunglasses on for the following five months to hide my eyes. Dr Ghafouri performed reconstructive lid surgery to correct these problems and the outcome was all that I had hoped for. He gave me my life back, and I feel confident taking off my sunglasses for the first time in months. He is truly an excellent surgeon and I highly recommend him.

Dr. Ghafouri's skills are truly unparalleled, and his attention to detail is impeccable. I am absolutely thrilled with my results and couldn't have asked for anything better. My eyelids not only look beautiful, but they also healed remarkably quickly, leaving no trace of any procedure. I have complete confidence in Dr. Ghafouri and will undoubtedly return for any future facial services. I'll also enthusiastically recommend him to friends and family, knowing they'll receive the same exceptional care and outstanding results.

If you are looking for Botox or facial fillers, look no further than Kyle at Dr Ghafouri’s office. She is absolutely amazing, a genius at her craft! She produces the most beautiful, natural results! Highly recommend!

Dr. Ghafouri and his whole team are very professional. I had upper eyelid surgery one month ago and I'm pleased with the results. The bruising is all gone now and my eyes look much better after removing the loose skin. I am planning on using him again for lower eyelid surgery--in fact, I wish now that I had done both upper and lower at the same time.

My experience with Dr. Ghafouri was great for an upper bleph. The entire process and recovery was amazingly smooth and easy. Would definitely recommend and will be back when I’m ready for a lower bleph.

I have been a patient of Dr. Ghafouri’s office for about six months now and I am extremely impressed with his work and the work of his team. I frequent his office for my regular Botox and filler needs with Jake and he is an absolute master at his craft. I’m looking forward to booking my upper and lower blepharoplasty and would recommend Dr. Ghafouri and Jake to my friends and family.

Dr. Ghafouri is hands down the best. I would highly recommend to everyone. Going to him was by far the best decision I ever made, truly life-changing. I can’t thank him enough for my amazing results. I am truly grateful, he helped regain my confidence. If you’re considering going to him, just do it. You won’t be disappointed.

Dr Ghafouri is excellent at his craft. I had a droopy eyelid. The muscles and tissues around the eye are very delicate. A previous oculoplastic surgeons disfigured my upper eyelid, and a second made it worse. Dr. Ghafouri surgically fixed the problem in a matter of minutes without any pain, bleeding or significant bruising. And unlike others, the cost was very reasonable. I am very pleased with the result.

In June of 2020 I had some filler placed under both eyes (Restylane - 1ml). I never liked the result as it looked lumpy and weird but I left it alone for about a year and a half hoping it would eventually dissolve on its own. Unfortunately it never did so in January 2022 I had a small amount of hyaluronidase injected into the under-eye area. The lumpiness of the filler was improved but over the next few weeks I developed a hollow look in the eye area and swelling in the malar area below it. I tried everything to get the situation to resolve including massage, red light therapy, expensive creams, and collagen supplements. But nothing worked and finally I started researching surgical options. I first consulted with Dr Ghafouri of Scottsdale, AZ in September 2022 but I was very much afraid to have the surgery. Over the course of several consults he recommended that I have a lower blepharoplasty, fat transfer, and co2 laser. I finally had the surgery on December 1st, 2023 and it has now been about six weeks. I am 100% happy with Dr Ghafouri as a surgeon and his wonderful staff. Everyone at this practice is amazingly kind, helpful, and professional. Diana the coordinator was incredibly patient with me as I was a very fearful and anxious patient. Dr Ghafouri himself is also super kind, thoughtful, and extremely experienced and skilled. I trust him completely and I would not hesitate to have another procedure with him. The surgery itself went as well as it could, given my anxiety. I was scared but they calmed me down and I got through it fine. I was swollen for about three weeks, but not terribly uncomfortable. As for the outcome of the procedure, I'm still waiting to see what the final results will be. My under-eye area definitely looks better overall. Dr Ghafouri is a real pro and he does perfect, careful work. However my fear is that some of the fat that was transferred may have re-absorbed because now that all the swelling is gone I am noticing that I have more hollowness again than I would like. Fat transfer is unpredictable; some people need a second transfer and I may be one of them. Also results can continue to change for six months or longer. So there may be a Part II to this review if I need some sort of a touch up. Overall I am very happy with Dr Ghafouri and his whole staff. :)As an incentive for posting a review, this reviewer received an entry into RealSelf’s monthly $500 gift card giveaway. Updated on 12 Jan 2024: Adding two more photos to show the overall improvement. I think the lower blepharoplasty did a lot to improve the overall appearance of the lower eye area on both sides. It looks pretty good in most lighting situations and makeup goes on smoother and looks nicer. I just wish more of the fat had taken hold in the outer part of the eye area where I have had such a bad problem with hollowness for all these years. But fat is unpredictable and it can continue to change for six months or longer, so these may not be the final results yet.
