guy-g-massry-md-oculoplastic-surgeon-beverly-hills-californiaBlepharoplasty or eyelid surgery is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic and functional facial surgical procedures in the United States today.  It is performed by all aesthetic facial specialties – but is best when in the hands of a cosmetic eyelid surgical specialist – or an oculoplastic surgeon.

The reason surgery is best performed by eyelid surgery specialists is to avoid complications to the eyes.  These complications include the true ocular problems such as the inability to close the eyes, dry eyes, reduced vision, chronically irritated or infected eyes, or constant pain in the eyes.  Complications can also affect appearance and include a “wide-eyed” look, a “cat-eyed” look, upper and lower lids that are hollow, a rounded eye (i.e. lost normal shape), lower lids that are pulled down, or an abnormal outer corner to the eyes.

These complications can be avoided by an appropriate preoperative evaluation and by having surgery performed by a “true” eyelid specialist.  Dr. Guy Massry (Beverly Hills ophthalmic Plastic surgery) is an oculoplastic surgeon with vast expertise in cosmetic blepharoplasty surgery.  Dr. Massry can be reached through his website or at his office at (310) 657-4302.  Dr. Massry would be happy to see you for your eyelid surgery needs.
