For Eyes That Look Refreshed and Bright
Request A ConsultationSagging skin, puffiness, and under-eye bags can all make a person look older, fatigued, or less vibrant than they feel. Even with adequate sleep and skincare, the delicate tissues around the eyes are prone to change over time.
Whether your concerns are due to aging or genetics, blepharoplasty (also known as eyelid surgery) can restore a smoother, brighter, and more refreshed appearance to the eye area. Dr. Nirav Savalia performs eyelid surgery with a meticulous and highly personalized approach, achieving elegant, natural-looking improvements that complement the rest of the face rather than altering it.
“I went with my husband to his office and he spent almost an hour to map my upper eyelid for precision surgery. The surgery was very short and very good. Dr. Savalia did an excellent job. Dr. Savalia is very personable and takes as much time as you need to answer your questions.. I recommended him to my friends and I highly recommend Dr. Savalia to you. You are in excellent hands. He genuinely cares and is happy for your results right along with you.”
“My blepharoplasty surgery went very well and fast, no pain at all. It made my eyes wide open and I am very pleased with the end results.”

Eyelid surgery, also called blepharoplasty, is a plastic surgery procedure designed to improve the appearance of the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both. The procedure addresses drooping eyelids, excess upper eyelid skin, and under-eye bags and can even improve puffiness.
Upper eyelid surgery focuses on removing excess skin and repositioning fat to address excess skin and fat in the upper eyelids. In some patients, upper-eye heaviness can even interfere with peripheral vision.
Lower eyelid surgery is typically performed to improve under-eye bags, loose skin, festoons, or hollowing underneath the eyes. Dr. Savalia may remove or reposition fat to create a smoother transition between the lower eyelid and cheek area.
Many patients choose to address both the upper and lower eyelids in one surgery for comprehensive rejuvenation of the eye area. Combining procedures often creates a balanced result with the added benefit of allowing patients to recover from a single surgery.
At Savalia Plastic Surgery, the patient experience and support are just as important as the end result.

You may be a candidate for eyelid surgery if you are bothered by hooded eyelids, excess upper lid skin, under-eye bags or puffy eyes, or an overall tired or aged appearance. Patients with obstructed peripheral vision caused by sagging upper eyelid tissue often experience life-changing improvements after upper blepharoplasty.
Ideal candidates are nonsmokers in good overall health who maintain realistic expectations about their results.
To determine if you are a good candidate for eyelid surgery, schedule a consultation at Savalia Plastic Surgery by calling (949) 759-0980 or filling out our online contact form.
The first step of your blepharoplasty is an in-depth consultation. Dr. Savalia will evaluate your facial anatomy and take the time to discuss your aesthetic goals before creating a surgical plan.
During your consultation, you and Dr. Savalia will:
Patients are advised to stop smoking for at least six weeks before and after surgery, as well as to avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements. Doing so is crucial to help minimize preventable complications, such as bleeding and tissue necrosis.
Premier cosmetic and reconstructive surgery
Blepharoplasty is typically performed as an outpatient procedure, under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with IV sedation.
For upper eyelid surgery, Dr. Savalia carefully places incisions within the natural crease to conceal visible scarring. Excess skin and small amounts of fat may be conservatively removed or repositioned to create a smoother, more youthful contour.
For lower eyelid surgery, incisions may be placed just beneath the lash line (subciliary incision) or inside the lower eyelid (transconjunctival), depending on the patient’s anatomy. From there, fat can be repositioned to improve tear trough hollows, festoons, and dark circles.
Most eyelid surgeries are completed within one to three hours, depending on the extent of treatment.
Recovery after eyelid surgery is generally well-tolerated. Patients can expect temporary swelling and bruising around the eyes—this is a completely normal aspect of the healing phase.
Patients may experience the following during early recovery:
Mild discomfort is manageable with over-the-counter medication. Dr. Savalis will provide you with detailed postoperative instructions, including incision care, head elevation, ointment use, and more. Follow these carefully for a smoother recovery sans preventable complications.
Many patients feel comfortable returning to work and social activities within one to two weeks, although residual swelling may take several more weeks to improve. Strenuous exercise and heavy lifting are strictly prohibited for several weeks until cleared by Dr. Savalia.
Incision lines typically heal very well and become increasingly inconspicuous over time.
Eyelid surgery can create a more youthful aesthetic while preserving your natural appearance. Patients often notice their eyes appear brighter, smoother, and more open after healing is complete.
Initial results are often visible within two to three weeks, while final results emerge within three to six months, after residual swelling has resolved.
The results of blepharoplasty are typically long-lasting, particularly for upper eyelid surgery. The natural aging process will continue over time, but you will always look better having had surgery, provided you care for your skin. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, protecting the skin from sun exposure, using SPF, and following a consistent skincare regimen generally help prolong your results.
Yes, in some patients—especially those with excess upper eyelid sagging—blepharoplasty can improve peripheral vision by removing excess skin that obstructs the visual field.
Incisions are strategically hidden within the natural eyelid creases or inside the eyelid whenever possible. As healing progresses, scars become very difficult to see.
Many patients describe the recovery from eyelid surgery as more uncomfortable than painful. Common experience includes temporary sensations of tightness, swelling, dryness, and irritation. Discomfort is generally manageable with rest and over-the-counter pain medications.
The goal of eyelid surgery is to help patients look refreshed, not like a different person. Dr. Savalia emphasizes natural-looking results that preserve your facial identity and expression.
Many patients can apply eye makeup approximately 10 to 14 days after surgery, depending on healing progress and Dr. Savalia’s recommendations.
There is no single best age for blepharoplasty. Candidacy is better determined by anatomy and other factors. Many patients undergo eyelid surgery in their 40s through 70s, but younger patients with hereditary under-eye bags or hooded upper eyelids may also benefit.
Yes. Blepharoplasty is often performed as a standalone procedure, but may also be combined with procedures such as a facelift, brow lift, laser resurfacing, or facial fat grafting for more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
The results of eyelid surgery are long-lasting. Upper eyelid surgery results often last 10 years or longer, while lower eyelid surgery can also provide enduring improvement for 10 to 15 years. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and proper skincare, including SPF, can help preserve results.

A., Google ReviewDr. Savalia and his staff cared for me when I needed it most. I needed to have some breast tissue removed for review, and he was able to rapidly qualify me for a breast reduction as well for my back pain in long ongoing issues. I’m incredibly pleased with the results, and was shocked how little to no pain I had post surgery. As a registered nurse, I was very impressed with his bedside manner and the professionalism of his staff. I would highly recommend him and choose him over and over again if I had a choice.
