Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty or an eyelid lift, is a surgical procedure that removes or repositions excess skin and fat around the eyes to restore a more youthful, refreshed appearance.
Dr. Kamrava performs upper and lower blepharoplasty to address concerns such as:
The right approach depends on which of these concerns you’re experiencing and your unique facial anatomy.
Upper blepharoplasty removes excess upper-eyelid skin and, when appropriate, a small amount of muscle or fat to restore a defined lid crease and a more open gaze. During upper eyelid surgery, incisions are placed within the natural eyelid fold, where the scar is typically well concealed once healed.
Dr. Kamrava evaluates factors such as brow position, midface volume, eyelid structure and function, and skin quality to design a plan that enhances eyelid definition while preserving natural shape and movement—a priority shaped by his head and neck surgery training.
Lower blepharoplasty addresses under-eye bags, puffiness, and shadowing caused by fat protrusion and age-related changes at the lid-cheek junction. Depending on anatomy, fat is conservatively removed, repositioned, or supplemented with fat grafting to smooth the tear trough and restore lost volume. In certain cases of lower eyelid surgery, he may also use canthoplasty techniques for subtle elongation.
Dr. Kamrava selects a transconjunctival approach (no external incision) for fat repositioning alone, or a subciliary approach when excess skin also needs to be addressed.
| Comparison | Upper Blepharoplasty | Lower Blepharoplasty |
|---|---|---|
| Treats | Excess upper-eyelid skin, hooding | Under-eye fullness, shadowing, tear-trough hollowing |
| Incision | Within the natural eyelid crease | Transconjunctival (no external scar) or subciliary, depending on anatomy |
| Primary Goal | A more youthful, rested appearance by restoring a defined lid crease and open gaze | A more youthful, rested appearance by smoothing the under eyes and lid-cheek transition |
| Can Improve Vision? | Yes, if excess skin obstructs the upper visual field | No (purely aesthetic) |
| Scar Visibility | Concealed in eyelid crease | Often no visible scar (transconjunctival) or concealed along the lash line |

Yes, Dr. Kamrava’s approach emphasizes treating the face as a whole for seamless, comprehensive rejuvenation. He frequently combines eyelid surgery with other facial plastic surgery procedures such as a facelift or brow lift/forehead lift to address lateral hooding.

No. Dr. Kamrava discreetly places incisions within the natural eyelid crease or lash line, and lower eyelid fat repositioning can often be performed through a transconjunctival incision, leaving no external scar.
Yes, upper blepharoplasty is often combined with a brow or forehead lift when the brow position, rather than eyelid skin alone, contributes to a tired appearance.
