Blepharoplasty Before and After Photos

Case One

These before and after photos of a blepharoplasty patient illustrate reducing the upper lid fullness to allow better use of makeup.

Case Two

These before and after photos of a Santa Monica male blepharoplasty patient illustrate the reduction of the lower lid fatty bags by way of an opening on the inside of the eyelid. This eliminates an external scar in the skin. Los Angeles oculoplastic surgeon Henry Baylis, M.D., developed this cosmetic surgery technique.

Case Three

These before and after photos of a Los Angeles cosmetic surgery patient illustrate the small incision (endoscopic) forehead lift. Dr. Baylis was the first oculoplastic surgeon to describe the forehead lift in ophthalmic literature.

Case Four

Here are before and after photos of blepharoplasty of the upper eyelids. Dr. Baylis’ aim is to enhance the appearance through blepharoplasty without creating a surgical look.

Case Five

Here is another before and after illustration of blepharoplasty. The skin incision in the upper lid is hidden in the crease. The lower lid cosmetic surgery is performed on the inside surface of the eyelid, eliminating a skin incision.

Blepharoplasty

Cosmetic eyelid surgery is small in scope but exacting in technique. The surgical procedure for blepharoplasty itself takes less than one hour. Dr. Baylis performs this cosmetic surgery under local anesthesia with oral sedation or IV sedation (twilight sleep). Using oral or IV sedation is up to the individual patient.

After Cosmetic Surgery – Recovery

Following cosmetic surgery, the patient relaxes at home and needs no assistance in the after care. The following day, the blepharoplasty patient has nearly full activity but will have some swelling or bruising that lasts one to two weeks. Out-of-town patients who arrive in Newport Beach or Santa Monica by plane for their blepharoplasty may leave after the third day, but frequently stay for one full week.
