Brighten. Define. Renew the Eyes.
The eyes are often the first area to show age. Dr. Janak Parikh performs upper and lower eyelid surgery can remove excess skin, reposition fat pads, and tighten the periorbital muscles for a refreshed appearance.
- Upper Blepharoplasty: Removes sagging skin that can weigh down the eyelids or obscure vision
- Lower Blepharoplasty: Smooths under-eye bags, hollows, and puffiness — often with fat preservation or repositioning
Results:
- Hidden incisions for nearly invisible healing
- Brighter, more youthful eyes
Improved definition without hollowing
A heavy brow can create an unintended look of fatigue or tension. Dr. Parikh’s brow lift repositions the brow to its natural height and arc softening the forehead and restoring openness to the eyes. Techniques may include endoscopic or limited incision approaches for minimal scarring and elegant lift.
Benefits:
- Rejuvenated, alert expression
- Smooth forehead and softened frown lines
- Natural elevation without a surprised look
Frequently Asked Questions About Upper Blepharoplasty
Yes, this is exactly what upper blepharoplasty addresses. Excess skin on the upper eyelid creates a tired, heavy look, and in more advanced cases can interfere with peripheral vision. Dr. Parikh performs upper blepharoplasty in the office under local anesthesia, and it is one of the easiest procedures his patients undergo.
In expert hands, the scar is hidden within the natural crease of the eyelid. Dr. Parikh places the incision precisely along this crease, and once fully healed the scar is typically imperceptible, even up close.
Recovery is among the easiest in all of cosmetic surgery. Most patients return to normal activities in about 7 days, with minimal pain, bruising, and swelling.
Yes. Many patients pair upper blepharoplasty with Botox for the crow’s feet or filler for the temples and brow area to create a comprehensive rejuvenation of the upper face. Dr. Parikh will help you build the right combination for your goals.
Because the surgery is most often performed in the office under local anesthesia, the all-in cost is typically lower than for facial procedures requiring sedation. Financing is available.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lower Blepharoplasty
Lower blepharoplasty addresses exactly that. It treats the bags or bulges in the lower eyelid caused by fat protruding forward, as well as the hollowing or dark shadows that often appear in the same area. Dr. Parikh’s approach typically performs fat grafting rather than repositioning the fat to ensure volume correction is optimal, which avoids the hollowed look that older techniques sometimes produced.
It depends on the cause of your dark circles. If they are caused by hollowing and shadow, lower blepharoplasty often improves them significantly. If they are caused by pigmentation in the skin itself, surgery alone will not fix them, and Dr. Parikh may recommend pairing the procedure with laser treatment or skincare.
The lower eyelid is one of the most technically demanding areas in plastic surgery because small differences in technique can produce noticeable problems like lower lid pulling or hollowing. Dr. Parikh’s approach prioritizes fat grafting to ensure adequate volume to support the lower lid structurally, which reduce the risk of complications and the need for revision.
Swelling in the lower eyelid is slow to resolve because of how delicate the tissue is and how dependent the area is on gravity drainage. In most patients the majority of swelling resolves by 6 to 8 weeks, but in some cases subtle swelling can linger up to 6 months. Dr. Parikh will walk you through what is normal at each stage.
In most cases, no. Dr. Parikh frequently uses a transconjunctival approach, an incision hidden inside the eyelid, which leaves no external scar at all. When an external incision is needed, it is placed just below the lash line and is barely visible once healed.
Pricing reflects whether the procedure is performed as a transconjunctival approach alone or combined with skin removal, fat grafting, or upper blepharoplasty. Dr. Parikh’s team will provide a personalized quote after your consultation, with financing options available.
