The eyes are the most unique feature of everyone's face, and they deserve to be visible. However, an abundance of skin around the eyes can cause your most distinguishable feature to have a tired and irritable look, regardless of your mood.

Countless men and women receive eyelid surgery at our Beverly Hills, CA location to eliminate saggy eyelids, leading to an improved function and appearance. Blepharoplasty, whether lower or upper, creates a more awakened appearance and can produce subtle yet striking improvements. If you want to learn more about rejuvenating your eyes with eyelid lift surgery, schedule a consultation with J. Timothy Katzen, M.D. Beverly Hills.

This is an extremely personal review for me but I want to be able to help others in my position. Dr Katzen basically gave me my face back and I’m eternally thankful. So, when you’re young, dumb, insecure and have discretionary cash to spend what do you do? You go to Mexico to get permanent PMMA filler in a face that didn’t need it. Well, you do if you’re me. Then you spend years regretting it and figuring out a way to get it removed. You beat yourself up. You drown in shame. You realize you look crazy and overdone and you start to hide. Before you know it, you’ve lost YEARS of your youth. Then you roll up your sleeves and say ENOUGH. After trying to dissolve the filler and even using ultherapy and lasers, I realized the only way to get this product removed would be surgically. I visited a few well-known doctors who all wanted to rip my face open, peel my skin back and leave me scarred. Enter Dr Katzen, who was kind, compassionate and professional. The first thing he said to me was, "well, if this was MY FACE here’s what I’d prefer..." and I was sold. As scared as I was, the procedure itself was relatively easy. I was swollen for two weeks, eyes shut for a day or so, but after the stitches came off everything started to settle nicely. Wearing a mask and sunglasses everywhere helped. Now, I cant wait until this pandemic - panini, Panasonic, prime rib - whatever you want to call it, is over so that I can show my face in public again. If you’re going through what I did and need advice or more information, please don’t hesitate to message me and please do yourself a favor and go see dr Katzen. Take care!

who is a Candidate for an EYELID LIFT?
Blepharoplasty is a cosmetic surgery that is available to both men and women at our Beverly Hills, CA office. During your first visit, various techniques and alternatives will be discussed based on the areas you would like addressed. Generally, ideal candidates for this surgery are those who:
- Wish to remove unwanted skin and folds on the top eyelid
- Have bloated skin below the bottom eyelid
- Have functional vision difficulties due to the excess skin around your eyes
- Are in overall good health
This procedure can give patients a more awakened look that appears bright and youthful.
what to expect during an EYELID LIFT
Depending on the type and complex nature of your individual blepharoplasty procedure, either general anesthesia or IV sedation will be administered. Eyelid surgery may be done on the upper eyelid alone, under or on the bottom eyelid, or a combination of both eyelids.
- Upper
Upper blepharoplasty decreases the folds of skin that droop over the eye to create a more awakened and appealing look. An incision is usually made along the lid crease to excise loose skin and fatty tissue. - Lower
Lower lid surgery is performed to reduce the appearance of puffy and bulging skin beneath the lower eyelid. The incision is carefully made along the lash line to allow access to remove tissue and fat, and the skin is subtly lifted to create a softer, smoother look. In some cases, nonsurgical laser treatments can be incorporated to assist with discoloration while fillers can be used for more smoothness and softening if desired. - Transconjunctival Lower Eyelid Surgery
This technique is similar to that of a lower eyelid lift. The main difference is that the incision is made inside the lower eyelid, leading to a scar that is completely concealed.

About Ushow long is recovery after an EYELID LIFT?
Eyelid surgery can last up to two hours, depending on whether one or both eyes are treated. After this outpatient surgery, you should plan about a week to recover and rest at home. A cold compress can help reduce discomfort, swelling, and bruising. The results from eyelid surgery can last years. Even though the results you yield will last a long time, the aging process does not stop. To maintain your surgical outcomes, other nonsurgical cosmetic treatments, such as fillers, peels, and lasers, can be done to preserve your youthful appearance.
get Younger-Looking Eyes

Timothy Katzen, M.D. Beverly Hills may be the ideal treatment for you. This enhancement can help you look refreshed and youthful while offering a beautiful answer to your vision impairment concerns. We invite you to get in touch with our office in Beverly Hills, CA to schedule a consultation with plastic surgeon Dr. Timothy Katzen.
Eyelid Lift FAQs
Can I use insurance to pay for my eyelid surgery?
If hanging skin is affecting your vision, your insurance may pay for part of your eyelid lift. Please tell Dr. Katzen during your consultation if you are considering using your insurance. Someone at our Beverly Hills, CA office will help you get the needed information and paperwork for your insurance company to process your claim. Generally, you will need a diagnosis from an optometrist or ophthalmologist stating that an eyelid lift would improve your vision.
What are some other benefits of an eyelid lift?
Eyelid surgery not only helps to refresh your appearance, but it can also improve other aspects of your life. You may find your field of vision expanding when loose, hanging skin from your upper eyelid is removed. It can also be easier to apply eye makeup when your upper eyelid is smooth. Eliminating fine lines, "crepey" skin, puffy bags, and dark circles under your eyes can make them look brighter and fuller without cosmetics.
Will an eyelid lift fix wrinkles and Crow's feet?
Wrinkles on your forehead and the corners of your eyes (Crow's feet) may be better corrected with a facelift or brow lift because the results of the eyelid surgery are confined to the eyelids only. Eyelid surgery can be combined with a nonsurgical procedure, such as BOTOX, which combats wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes. An injectable filler can also be effective because it adds volume to hollow areas for a smoother appearance. During your consultation, Dr. Katzen will create a personalized treatment plan based on your goals.
What about nonsurgical treatments instead of eye surgery?
Noninvasive skin tightening procedures and injectable treatments (like Juvéderm and BOTOX) can provide some improvements. However, if you have moderate to severe sagging skin or want long-lasting results, an eyelid lift would be better than nonsurgical treatments. After you have talked to Dr. Katzen about the concerns and goals you have for your eyes, he can go over his recommendations for your nonsurgical or surgical treatment plan. He may also suggest both surgical and nonsurgical procedures to help you achieve your best results.
How should I prepare for an eyelid lift?
Preparation may include medical evaluations, stopping certain medications, avoiding smoking, and arranging for someone to drive you home post-surgery. Our team in Beverly Hills, CA will provide specific pre-operative instructions.
Will an eyelid lift affect my vision?
While the primary goal of cosmetic blepharoplasty is to improve appearance, functional blepharoplasty can enhance vision by removing drooping skin that obstructs the visual field. Any changes to vision are typically positive, but it is essential to discuss this with your surgeon.
