Blepharoplasty For Men

Restore Rested, Refreshed Eyes

top Men's eyelid lift Surgeon

At Privé Beverly Hills, we understand that men want to look and feel their best at any age. As men age, skin loses its elasticity, leading to sagging, puffiness, and wrinkles around the eyes. This can give a tired or aged appearance.

Dr. Catherine Chang is a Beverly Hills facial plastic surgeon who understands the unique needs of men seeking upper or lower blepharoplasty surgery. With a keen attention to detail and artistic eye, she can help you achieve natural-looking results that enhance your appearance.

Dr. Catherine Chang is Quadruple Ivy-League educated and is a top Craniofacial specialist. She uses her education and advanced training to perform eyelid lifts using the most advanced technology and techniques.

What does Blepharoplasty entail?

Upper Blepharoplasty

Upper blepharoplasty addresses drooping or hooded upper eyelids that may impair vision or create a tired appearance. Dr. Chang removes excess skin and fat to create a natural, refreshed look.

Lower Blepharoplasty

Lower blepharoplasty targets under-eye bags and sagging lower eyelids. Dr. Chang carefully removes or repositions fat deposits, tightens the skin, and may perform additional procedures like laser resurfacing to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

Am I A Candidate for Eyelid Surgery?

There are many reasons to consider eyelid surgery. For example, patients who have loose skin on the upper or lower eyelids are generally great candidates.

You may also be a good candidate for blepharoplasty if:

You have loose skin that folds and impacts the natural contour of the eye
You have loose or sagging eyelids that impair vision
You have fatty deposits that cause puffiness and bags
You have droopiness of either the upper, lower, or both eyelids

The best way to determine if you’re a candidate for blepharoplasty is to schedule a consultation with board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Catherine Chang.

What Patients Say

After many hours spent looking at pictures, studying surgeons' credentials, reading reviews and staring at my aging face, I chose Catherine Chang, MD for my facelift, neck lift, blepharoplasty and CO2 laser procedure. It was a leap of faith that came with great anxiety in the midst of a pandemic year. My first visit with Dr. Chang was unhurried and she took the time to explain the procedures she was recommending as well as the results that could be expected. Her confidence and understanding were reassuring. Dr. Chang is a skilled surgeon, talented and perceptive. She understood what I was looking for. State of the art results: Dr. Chang is an amazing young woman, a perfectionist.

Dr. Chang is AMAZING. I’d had incredibly severe breathing issues my whole life—I’m talking sinus headaches, blurry vision, absolutely *no* airflow through one side of my nose—all from an extremely deviated septum. On top of everything else, the septum issue created a huge bump in my nose that proved to be very problematic for my career as a performer. As a woman of color, finding a doctor who could improve my quality of life, adjust my profile, but simultaneously honor my heritage and my ethnicity was a terrifying thought. I wanted to solve my problem, but I wanted to come out looking like me. I was overwhelmed by the fear of not being heard—as I’d had many other experiences where my dignity as a patient was clearly not the priority.

Dr. Catherine Chang changed my life. At 43, I unfortunately had aged prematurely in my lower face and neck and was so unhappy with my changing appearance. I had met with a couple of other surgeons but was too scared to trust them with such a big surgery. Not only is Dr. Chang professionally incredible but she is also cool and sweet as can be and every office visit is a joy. I am so grateful I found Dr. Catherine Chang!

"Dr. Chang is absolutely amazing. I am beyond happy and thankful that I chose to have my procedure with her! Words can't describe how happy I am! My recovering was less than 3 days! Same day I was already on my feet! I only took pain medication for about a day. I recovered so fast, not a single issue. Now the best part is the results, the result is INCREDIBLE. Exactly what I wanted! Thank you Dr. Chang!!!"

"Dr. Catherine Chang is a masterful plastic surgeon! I cannot say enough about how happy I am with the results of my recent surgery! I have "cred" as they say because I'm in the business of medical aesthetics--a Registered Nurse in this field since the early 2000's. I have been extremely fortunate to work with legendary plastic surgeons in Beverly Hills. Thank you Dr. Chang for restoring this face and neck!"

"Dr. Cat Chang is amazing! I wish there were more than 5 stars I could give her. After years of contemplation, I went ahead and had the rhinoplasty (nose job) I have always wanted with Dr. Chang. I could not be more pleased with the results! I love my new profile, it is exactly what I hoped for!"

"Simply put, Dr. Chang is phenomenal on so many levels! It was such an easy decision to choose her to perform my breast implant replace and lift surgery. Apart from having a "rock star" academic resume, upon meeting her I was immediately impressed as she has a very caring demeanor, is personable, professional, compassionate, but most importantly, incredibly experienced and knowledgeable."

What to Expect After Surgery

After eyelid surgery, you will experience mild discomfort around your eyes. Your eyes may feel tender and warm, and you may also experience blurred vision and temporary minor sight impairments during the first day after the procedure. This is more common with lower eyelid surgery.

These symptoms can last up to a week post-op. Cold compress can be used to decrease swelling. It’s also important to sleep with your head elevated while also limiting physical activity.

Avoid straining your eyes as much as possible. Activities such as reading, watching TV, or looking at any kind of screen can cause eye strain. You’ll also want to be mindful of rubbing your eyes, even when they itch, as this can affect the incisions and may cause further discomfort and swelling.

Initial swelling and bruising typically subsides after 1-2 weeks. You can expect to see final results in about 6 to 8 months.

Most patients return to work and normal daily activities after a week. However, you should refrain from strenuous exercise for at least three weeks. This provides plenty of time for swelling to go down while also allowing stitches to fully dissolve.
