Do you look in the mirror and feel that your eyes don’t reflect your inner energy? For many, the combination of heavy, drooping upper eyelids and puffy, tired-looking under-eye bags can create a permanently fatigued appearance. We understand the desire to look as vibrant as you feel. The solution is often a comprehensive approach: an upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty, or “Quad Bleph,” designed to restore the natural harmony of your face.
Case Study: A Story of Natural Rejuvenation
Patients who are excellent candidates for a quad blepharoplasty often share common goals. Some feel their heavy upper eyelids are beginning to obscure their peripheral vision, while others are primarily concerned with the aesthetic appearance of hooded lids and prominent under-eye bags. The universal objective is to achieve a brighter, more rested look without appearing altered or unnatural.
The patient in this photo is a wonderful example of the harmonious results possible with this procedure. By addressing both the upper and lower eyelids, Dr. Sabet-Peyman was able to create a seamless, revitalized appearance. Her eyes are now more open, the contours around them are smoother, and the overall result is incredibly natural—a refreshed version of herself.
Procedural Breakdown: What is a Quad Blepharoplasty?
A Quad Blepharoplasty is a combination of two powerful procedures performed together for total eye rejuvenation:
- Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty: Dr. Sabet-Peyman makes a fine incision within the natural crease of the upper eyelid. Through this discreet opening, he meticulously removes excess skin and, if necessary, a small amount of fat that causes hooding. The result is a smoother, more defined upper eyelid.
- Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty: To address under-eye bags, an incision is typically made inside the lower eyelid (a transconjunctival approach) or hidden just below the lash line. This allows Dr. Sabet-Peyman to remove or reposition the protruding fat pads that create puffiness, smoothing the transition from the lower lid to the cheek.
This dual approach ensures the entire eye area is in aesthetic harmony.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Why perform upper and lower eyelid surgery together?
Addressing both areas simultaneously creates the most balanced and harmonious result. It ensures that a rejuvenated upper eyelid isn’t mismatched with a tired-looking lower eyelid, providing a comprehensive and natural transformation in a single recovery period. - Will I have noticeable scars?
We understand the fear of visible scarring is a major concern. Dr. Sabet-Peyman specializes in placing incisions in well-hidden locations. Upper eyelid incisions are concealed in the natural crease, while lower eyelid incisions are virtually undetectable because they are usually made inside the eyelid. - Will I still look like myself?
Absolutely. This is the most important goal. Dr. Sabet-Peyman’s philosophy is rooted in restoration, not alteration. His meticulous technique ensures that you will look like a more rested and vibrant version of yourself, preserving the unique character of your face. - How long do the results of a blepharoplasty last?
The results are very long-lasting. While the procedure turns back the clock on aging, the natural aging process will, of course, continue. However, your eyes will always look more youthful than if you had not had the surgery. Most patients enjoy their results for 10-15 years or even longer. - Is the procedure painful?
Dr. Sabet-Peyman routinely does these cases under local anesthesia in the office setting as for the patient shown. Most patients tolerate the procedure well. During recovery, most patients report feeling only mild discomfort, tightness, or soreness, which is typically well-managed with cold compresses and tylenol the day of surgery. - Can upper eyelid surgery also improve my vision?
When heavy, sagging skin on the upper eyelid droops over the lash line, it can obstruct your field of vision (specifically your peripheral vision). An upper blepharoplasty removes this excess skin, which can lead to a noticeably improved and less restricted line of sight.
