Bobby S. Korn, MD, PhD

Four months before turning 60, I asked Dr. Bobby Korn, "Can you make me look 30 again??" He said, "How about 31???" and I said, "I'll take it!!!!! What a transformation, and what an Artist!!! An incredible individual and super personality. A wonderful Doctor.... You will not be sorry!!

I was having trouble keeping my eyes open and bumping my head. Had loss of upper vision. Put it off for years and now very happy to have it done, completely fixed the problem. I can see and am not so tired. My eyelids no longer feel so heavy. The recovery was not so difficult, just take time and be sure to ice. Glad I did it and went to Dr Korn.

My eyelids were drubbing because I have worn contact lens for nearly 40 years, and I removed them by stretching my eyelids, enabling them to pop out. The long term stress weakened the eyelid, thus causing the need for repair to raise them. When I met Dr. Korn at UCSD Shirley Eye Institute, I was quickly impressed with the overall efficiency in operations. All meetings/ appointments were kept on time and completed without delay. I am exceptionally satisfied.

I felt confident going into my eyelid surgery with Dr. Korn as he was a member of a team of doctors at UCSD Shiley Eye Center that successfully treated my husband for Graves Disease of the eyes. I had great results with a quick recovery and minimal scarring. I look and feel younger as a result of my surgery. Dr. Korn is a confident and skilled surgeon with an upbeat and positive manner.

Dr. Bobby korn I can describe him in one word "AWESOME"!!! He is very professional and makes you feel comfortable. He has such a great personality and is not afraid to make a connection with you, that is what i love about him. You can tell he wants to make a difference in your life. I truly trust him, he is full of confidence and answers any question you may have. Him and his staff are truly outstanding. I would Highly recommend him, he did wonders for my eylid after i had a horrific accident. I will always be greatful to Dr. Bobby Korn and his staff. Thank you so much, Dr. Korn and Staff Always grateful,

Dr. Korn is great. He is very thorough in his explanations pre and post surgery. I can see much better with a peripheral view I was missing before my surgery. Very professional and takes great care of his patients.

After I began having vision obstruction at about the age of 65, Dr. Korn did a brow and eyelid lift procedure for me. I have been very happy with the good result. Not only did my vision improve, but Dr. Korn was also very careful to avoid any visible facial scarring. He also worked hard to keep the brows and eyelids even in appearance. Last but not least, he has a very informative, warm, and down-to-earth bedside manner. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Korn is beyond a five star rating. He finds the perfect balance between personal and professional relationships with clients. Of greatest importance is the continuing growth and education which he pursues. I feel that ,as practitioners, he is always ahead of the curve . And there is that intangible that comes with the best ; an artistry and instinct in administering each procedure. I drive through three states every three months to continue my "maintenance" and that in itself reflects my trust and satisfaction with Dr. Korn.

How blessed am I to be writing a review on the success of my surgery! Doctor Bobby Korn is a gift from God! I found him with intense research and am a complete success story! I was in a very dark place in my life when my thyroid was wreaking havoc with my eyes! I have Thyroid eye disease and was losing my will to be social or even to be seen. I knew only surgery would help however, who was I going to trust with such a delicate situation. Dr. Korn was the answer to my prayers.. he was professional, kind and knew all about my eye disease. I won the lotto when I met with him. His office and staff are second to none! He and his team were very professional from beginning to end! The proof is in the photos! I am a new woman with a new outlook on life. Thank you to Dr. Korn! . I will without a doubt seek his help again if needed and recommend him to anyone who asks! Updated on 14 Jul 2016:

About me: I am in my late 30s and had a bag under one eye. I spent endless hours researching how to get rid of the bag permanently and was lucky enough to ultimately find myself in Dr. Korn’s office. If you’ve found my review and you are serious about a permanent procedure to remove eye bags, please read on as I will do my best to describe the surgeon I chose , the surgery I had, and what to expect during and after the surgery. The surgeon I chose: Please, if you take anything away from this review, know that you should trust your eyes only to an Ocular Surgeon. If you’re like me, you put your eyes on the top of the list when it comes to important body parts – thus a specialist is essential. In addition to focusing his entire career on eyes in general, Dr. Korn has a keen sense of the importance of the physical appearance of eyes. Eyes are dynamic, fragile and show surgical flaws more than anywhere else on the body. Dr. Korn’s approach is conservative and precise. Two qualities I promise you want in a person performing cosmetic surgery on your eyes. The surgery I had: Now this is where you will hang on my every word if you are really going to do this. First off, I had a transconjunctival blepharoplasty. What this means is that the Dr. pulled back my lower eyelid and removed the fat causing the bag under my eye. There were no incisions to the exterior of my eye. There were two options with this procedure, getting the surgery under general anesthesia and doing it fully awake with ONE (you read that right) Valium. I chose the latter and I am so glad I did! First off I saved myself a ton of money, second of all it was a pretty fascinating experience. I will do my best to describe it in detail: You get to the office, they give you the pill, and you are crapping your pants because someone is about to dig around in your eye. Okay, well not exactly, but it sure feels that way. Let me tell you, the anticipation is ten times worse than any discomfort you’ll feel – just remember that. I swear I woke up sweating one night before the procedure thinking about the horror to come. Turns out, it wasn’t that bad. There are a few individuals in the room. First off, you don’t see anything; there is a shield of some sort on your eye. You lay back, he places numbing eye drops in your eye. He swabs your eye with more numbing agent. He then gives you shots of the equivalent of Novocain for your eye. You take deep breaths and squeeze someone’s hand. The Dr. then uses a cauterizing tool to remove the fat that has been bugging you day in and day out in every mirror you look in. The Dr. kept warning me about the “smell” that bothers some individuals, but I honestly cannot remember a smell. Then you’re done. You sit up and ice your eye(s). They look puffy and red initially. Post surgery: Let me just say I bruise. Badly. I had botox once prior to the surgery and I had bruises so bad I had to get them lasered. I have posted my worse “after” pics, very minimal bruising as you can see. I think A LOT of it had to do with technique, but I swear consuming mass amounts of organic pineapple, arnica and bromelian (in pill form too) 10 days before my surgery helped. Granted, you should prepare yourself to bruise. I iced religiously, pretty much all day everyday for 72 hours or more. Regarding post surgery results: I saw NO results from the surgery for like 2 months. Seriously…. Nothing…. What the hell?? The Dr. actually showed me the fat that was removed, what the heck is going on? Just tell yourself 3 months. Seriously, expect nothing until month 3. At three months I would have paid double for the results.
