Restore Youthful, Refreshed Eyes

At Privé Beverly Hills, our blepharoplasty procedures create a brighter, more refreshed appearance while preserving your natural features. Dr. Catherine Chang plans each eyelid lift for patients in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles, CA, around their anatomy, facial proportions, and aesthetic goals for balanced, natural-looking results.

What is Blepharoplasty?

Eyelid Lift

Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid lift surgery, removes excess skin and fat from the eyelids to correct drooping and puffiness around the eyes. As we age, eyelid skin stretches and the supporting muscles weaken, leading to sagging lids and under-eye bags.

Eyelid surgery offers a subtle yet effective way to rejuvenate your appearance. Dr. Chang places incisions within the natural creases of the eyelid, where they are virtually unnoticeable.

Dr. Catherine S. Chang, MD, FACS, a blepharoplasty expert in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles, CA, corrects drooping eyelids and reduces under-eye bags. For some patients, blepharoplasty is not only cosmetic but functional, improving vision by removing skin that obstructs it.

The Eyelid Lift Procedure

Dr. Chang performs blepharoplasty as an outpatient procedure under IV twilight sedation, without general anesthesia, so you remain comfortable and relaxed and return home the same day.

Benefits of Eyelid Lift Surgery

With time, the delicate skin of the upper and lower eyelids loses firmness and can appear puffy or stretched, often due to protruding fat beneath the eyes. Blepharoplasty restores a refreshed, youthful, and more vibrant look, and removing sagging skin can make the eyes appear larger and brighter.

Reduced fine lines: lines near the corners of the eyes are naturally smoothed
A more youthful appearance: droopy eyelids add years to the face, and lifting them creates a rested, rejuvenated look
Minimal scarring: incisions are placed inside the eyelid, along the lash line, or in the upper eyelid crease
Improved vision: correcting droopy lids and excess skin can open up your field of vision
Short recovery: most patients are back to work in a week or less

Before & After

“Surgery sans looking surgical”

What to Expect After Eyelid Lift Surgery

After surgery, you can expect mild discomfort, tenderness, and warmth around the eyes. Blurred vision or minor visual changes are common during the first day, especially after lower eyelid surgery, and can last up to a week.

Cold compresses help reduce swelling. Sleep with your head elevated and limit physical activity. Rest your eyes as much as possible, since reading and screens can cause strain, and avoid rubbing your eyes, even when they itch, to protect the incisions.

Swelling and bruising typically subside within 1 to 2 weeks, and final results appear in about 6 to 8 months. Most patients return to work and daily activities after a week, but should avoid strenuous exercise for at least three weeks while swelling resolves and stitches dissolve.

Am I a Candidate for Eyelid Surgery?

You may be a good candidate for blepharoplasty if:

You have loose skin that folds over and changes the natural contour of the eye
You have sagging eyelids that impair your vision
You have fatty deposits that cause puffiness and under-eye bags
You have drooping of the upper, lower, or both eyelids

The best way to know if you are a candidate is to schedule a consultation with board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Catherine Chang, MD, FACS.

Reviews

What Our Clients 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."
