Eyelid Cosmetic Surgery Glendale

The eyes have been described as the windows to the soul, and youthful eyes contribute significantly to our sense of beauty and vitality. Eyelid surgery helps restore that brightness by removing excess skin and refining the delicate eye area.

Highlighting the Eyes With Surgical Precision

An important goal of facial plastic surgery is to draw attention to the eyes. Makeup artists emphasize the upper face for this reason, but cosmetic aging in the eye area can be difficult to conceal. Even in your twenties or thirties, excess eyelid skin and puffiness can begin to appear, making the face look tired or heavy.

Trusted Eyelid Rejuvenation in Glendale and Burbank

Dr. John Vartanian is a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon offering advanced techniques in blepharoplasty in Glendale. Whether you’re seeking upper eyelid surgery or lower eyelid rejuvenation, he provides customized treatment with natural, artistic results for patients from Glendale, Burbank, and beyond.

What Is Eyelid Surgery?

Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin, tightens muscle, and adjusts fat around the eyes. It can be performed on the upper lids, lower lids, or both, depending on your needs.

It can address:

Drooping upper eyelids
Puffy bags under the eyes
Loose or wrinkled eyelid skin
Vision obstruction from redundant skin
Under-eye hollowing or deep tear troughs

Upper Eyelid Surgery (Upper Blepharoplasty)

Restoring Lift and Reducing Fatigue

Dr. Vartanian uses precise, modern techniques for upper eyelid surgery in Glendale. Upper blepharoplasty removes excess skin and fat while hiding the incision within the natural eyelid crease. The result is a refreshed, rested appearance, without the telltale signs of surgery.

In-Office Comfort and Natural Results

This procedure is often performed comfortably in the office under local anesthesia. Dr. Vartanian uses measuring calipers and careful incision placement to create symmetric, natural-looking outcomes. In many cases, upper eyelid surgery is combined with skin resurfacing or facelifts for comprehensive rejuvenation.

Corrective and Medical Eyelid Repair

Upper Lid Ptosis and Revision Surgery

Dr. Vartanian also treats functional and aesthetic eyelid concerns. These include droopy lids (ptosis), scarring from prior surgery, or lid retraction. When vision is impaired by excess upper eyelid skin, blepharoplasty may be medically necessary and eligible for insurance coverage.

Eyelid Reconstruction

Eyelid trauma or defects from previous cancer surgery can also be corrected through precise reconstructive techniques. Each case is handled with attention to symmetry and functional integrity.

Lower Eyelid Surgery (Lower Blepharoplasty)

Rejuvenating the Under-Eye Area

Lower eyelid surgery in Glendale is tailored to remove or reposition fat and reduce puffiness beneath the eyes. In most cases, Dr. Vartanian uses internal incisions to avoid visible scars and gently “clean up” the lower eyelid area.

Addressing Skin Laxity and Hollowing

For patients with loose skin or fine lines, Dr. Vartanian may recommend combining lower blepharoplasty with laser resurfacing or dermal fillers. In some cases, a small amount of skin may be removed to improve overall tone and texture.

Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning

Refining Tear Troughs and Under-Eye Shadows

Some patients, including younger individuals, have deep hollows or a “sunken” appearance beneath the eyes. Dr. Vartanian offers fat repositioning during lower eyelid surgery to fill in tear troughs and smooth transitions, restoring a more youthful contour without adding bulk.

Schedule A Consultation

“Asian” Eyelid Surgery

Customized Double Eyelid Enhancement

For patients of Asian heritage, Dr. Vartanian offers specialized techniques to enhance the upper lid by creating a double fold or reducing excess fullness. Depending on anatomy and goals, he uses both suture-based and incision-based methods.

Preserving Ethnic Identity with Surgical Expertise

Because the “Asian eyelid” varies widely across individuals, careful consultation and attention to symmetry are essential. Dr. Vartanian is skilled in tailoring eyelid surgery that enhances the eye area while respecting ethnic features and personal preferences.

Frequently Asked Questions Cheek Lift

Will a cheek lift change how my whole face looks?

No. It targets only the midface, improving cheek projection and under-eye hollowness without altering your identity.

Can a cheek lift be done alone, or does it require a facelift?

It can be done alone or combined with other procedures, depending on your needs and degree of facial aging.

Is a cheek lift better than fillers?

It depends on your anatomy. Surgery offers structural lift and permanence, while fillers are better for subtle, temporary volume enhancement.

What are the risks of a cheek lift?

Risks include swelling, bruising, numbness, infection, or asymmetry, though complications are rare with an experienced surgeon.
