Blepharoplasty surgery (cosmetic eyelid surgery) is a specialized form of facial surgery which is performed by general plastic, facial plastic and oculoplastic surgeons. While all specialists are qualified to perform such surgery only oculoplastic surgeons have specific and specialized training in blepharoplasty surgery.
Oculoplastic surgeons are certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology or AAO (eye surgery) and by the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery or ASOPRS. In other words they are dual certified in both surgery of the eyes themselves and the eyelids (blepharoplasty surgery).
The most common complications Dr. Massry sees after blepharoplasty include: a wide eyed appearance, a change in shape of the eyes, eyes that don’t close, lower lids that are pulled down (retracted), eyelid scarring, dry eye issues, tearing, red eyes, irritated eyes, etc. It is critical to see only a blepharoplasty specialist such as Dr. Massry (Beverly Hills oculoplastic surgeon) to avoid these problematic issues. Why is this important? The reason is that oculoplastic surgeons have the best training in eyelid surgery!
Dr. Guy Massry, is a well-know oculoplastic surgeon specializing in primary (first time) and revisional (redo) eyelid and blepharoplasty surgery. As Beverly Hills is a hub for plastic surgery Dr. Massry tends to see the more complex cases which often need very unique techniques to attain the best outcomes. Dr. Massry not only trains surgeon, publishes on new techniques, and teaches around the country; he has also written the definitive text in the field.
