Mehryar (Ray) Taban, MD, FACS

Dr Taban is MAGIC! I am so grateful that a friend recommended this surgeon for lower blepharoplasty. I always looked tired my whole life. Dr Taban gave me the refresh that I always dreamed of having. Trust his expertise. Trust his kindness and gentleness.

I recently had both upper and lower blepharoplasty, and I am extremely satisfied with my results. I traveled from Sacramento to Beverly Hills, LA, specifically to have this procedure performed—and it was absolutely worth it. The entire experience was seamless, professional, and compassionate from start to finish. My recovery was much smoother than I expected, and the improvement in both my appearance and confidence has been remarkable. Dr. Taban is truly the best, and I would highly recommend him to anyone considering eyelid surgery—you will be in excellent hands.

Dr.Taban is absolutely amazing! I had lower blepharoplasty done with him and it came out better than I expected. His office was very clean, his staff was very professional and extremely nice. The procedure was very quick, in and out. Zero complications, no pain or discomfort, and recover was fast. Highly recommend Dr.Taban. Thank you so much Dr.Taban.

I had an upper bleph to address heaviness and a tired look around my eyes. The results are exactly what I hoped for, subtle yet transformative. My eyes look more open, refreshed, and naturally lifted without changing how I look. Dr. Taban is incredibly skilled and kind. Very friendly staff as well. The entire experience felt seamless and supportive.

I just wanna say thank you thank you to Dr. Taban and his staff. He has an amazing by far the most detailed and dedicated physician I have ever met his office. Staff was professional, polite, and very helpful throughout the entire process from the Eye surgery to my eye filler injections when looking for a doctor to help me I looked for many years until I came across Doctor Taban best decision I ever made previously I had not felt the security and confidence of high-quality care with any previous consultations with other doctors. I knew this would be a hard process but felt confident when discussing the benefits and deciding to proceed with the surgery for many years, I struggled with significant debilitating pain now I have confidence and no pain thank you, Dr, Taban, and staff

Dr. Taban is a fantastic surgeon who genuinely listened to all of my concerns and carefully came up with the best surgical solution for my bilateral internal ptosis and blepharoplasty. He was also extremely accommodating of my tight schedule, which I greatly appreciated. Both surgeries went very smoothly, and he personally called me afterward to make sure everything was okay, which really showed his dedication. I'm very pleased with my results. I look much more alert, the eyelid folds are stable, and I appear significantly less tired. Highly recommend Dr. Taban!

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Taban for my lower blepharoplasty! After consulting with a few other surgeons in Beverly Hills, I’m so happy I chose him—his before-and-after photos spoke for themselves. I also appreciated that he doesn't push general anesthesia unnecessarily. Another doctor’s office told me I would need it, but I trusted my gut and am so glad I didn’t go that route. In my case, it was completely unnecessary. Dr Taban helped me feel empowered in my choices and that goes a long way for feeling safe with a doctor. I had genetic under-eye fat pads that became more pronounced with age and weight loss, and they were my biggest insecurity. Dr. Taban made the entire process easy and stress-free. I had my consultation on 12/18 and was able to book surgery for 1/28 (winter is usually busier!). He is calm, knowledgeable, and soft-spoken—not a “salesman” type, which I really appreciated. The week before surgery, I received my pre-op instructions along with a few prescriptions for surgery day, antibiotics, and Tylenol for after. I also took arnica and bromelain for two weeks beforehand to help with swelling. Surgery was at 9 AM. I took my prescribed meds 15 minutes before, was driven in, and laid on the table. Dr. Taban played relaxing music, and I felt zero pain— it felt like a spa treatment with no sensation at all (and I’m a huge baby with needles!). I was most afraid for the injections but did not feel them. 30–40 minutes later, I was done! I had double vision for an hour or two afterward but still no pain. I went home, slept off the meds, and by the evening, the double vision was gone. Looking down or to the side felt tight but not painful for about a week. Recovery took about two weeks. I slept on a wedge pillow with a neck travel pillow to prevent rolling over. I avoided bending over or elevating my heart rate for about a week. At my one-week follow-up, my bandages were removed, and Dr. Taban took out the knots anchoring the repositioned fat. I had minimal bruising and looked good enough to go out in public. By the second week, I was back to normal life, including exercise. I am thrilled with both the process and my results. I look amazing and can’t thank Dr. Taban and his team enough. If you’re considering lower blepharoplasty, I highly recommend him and have already referred a few people from real life :)

I was born with congenital ptosis which severely affected my self esteem. I pursued ptosis correction surgery via a Dr. local to me when I was 20 years old, which failed twice. I found Dr. Taban a couple of years later after doing some research on doctors that specialized in ptosis revision surgeries and felt the most comfortable and confident with him. He performed a blepharoplasty on my left eyelid, which at that point had pretty severe scarring from the two previous surgeries. The new scar on my eyelid is minimal (even smaller than before) and now my eyelids are near perfectly symmetrical. Dr. Taban was realistic but confident about the outcome for me. I’m extremely happy with the results and recommend him to anyone in the same situation as me. He has certainly changed my life and improved my confidence! The first picture is before (after two failed surgeries) and the second picture is after the revision with Dr. Taban.

Like most people I was terrified to do anything with my eyes because if you're botched or anything goes wrong, it's impossible to hide and you're most likely stuck with it. I had several consultations over the years and as soon as I met doctor Taban I felt like he knew what he was doing, saw my vision and had a realistic game plan. Didn't try to sell me on anything and didn't put any pressure on booking. He was very professional and serious, this might rub some people the wrong way but I respected it. I had my upper blepharoplasty with him the end of 2023 and it was such a game changer I can't believe how much he went above my expectations. I was hesitant to do my lowers at the same time because I wanted to see if I liked the uppers first. So about a month and a half ago I decided I'm going to do the lower blepharoplasty too. I had that with a skin pinch and my scars are already gone and nobody even a week later realized I had anything done. Honestly the smoothest and fastest process ever. 100% love my results and recommend him to everyone I know. If you're feeling uneasy because some of his reviews might be bad, just remember, you can't make everyone happy and complications do happen to all surgeons. If you're doing 1000's of surgeries, you're going to eventually have some patients with complications. Just the name of the game. Also keep in mind he takes on very complex cases that most doctors would turn away. If you're considering anyone most definitely go with Taban, he's the best in his field.

As there are several very negative reviews about Dr Taban, I wanted to share my experience with Dr Taban in Beverly Hills, California, who performed my bilateral orbital decompression (2 walls), bilateral canthoplasty, bilateral custom infraorbital implants and bilateral upper and lower eyelid fillers. I had very mild ptosis, so I was initially nervous about the procedure as it is a highly specialized procedure that requires a highly specialized surgeon. However, Dr Taban did a fantastic job. The results were exactly what I'd hoped for, which is a natural yet more symmetrical look. I'm really happy with the result and grateful for Dr Taban's expertise and care. His knowledge In the field are unparalleled. He made sure that all my questions and concerns were addressed and helped me to feel comfortable throughout the process. If anyone is considering ptosis or cosmetic eyelid surgery, even for a mild case like mine, I would highly recommend him! I would not trust my eyes to anyone else. Attached are my before and after pictures, the first 2 showing my eyes before the surgery. The last one is my FINAL RESULT!! I highly recommend him to anyone!! I fell like a brand new person.
