When it comes to facial rejuvenation, what procedure delivers the most significant and lasting impact? For many, the answer is surprising: it’s surgery focused on the eyes. The eyes are the focal point of the face, and restoring their youthful, bright appearance can transform the entire facial harmony, taking 10-15 years off one’s look.
We often hear from patients, “Is it too late for me?” The answer is a resounding no. Age is not a barrier to looking as vibrant as you feel, especially with modern, safe, in-office procedures.
Case Study: A Dramatic and Lasting Transformation
A recent patient, a wonderful woman in her 80s, came to us wanting a comprehensive solution for a tired, aged appearance. She was concerned with heavy, drooping upper eyelids, prominent under-eye bags, and the overall texture of her skin. She wanted a result that was not just beautiful, but lasting.
Dr. Jason Sabet-Peyman designed a comprehensive treatment plan that could be performed comfortably and safely in our Orange County office. By combining upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty with facial laser resurfacing, he was able to achieve the incredible result you see here. Her eyes are open and bright, the contours are smooth, and her skin is visibly refreshed. This is a perfect example of a “one and done” procedure that delivers dramatic, long-term rejuvenation.
Procedural Breakdown: A Three-Part Harmony
This patient’s stunning transformation was achieved by combining three powerful procedures in a single session:
- Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty: To address severe hooding, Dr. Sabet-Peyman removed the excess skin and tissue weighing down the upper lids. This immediately opened up the eyes.
- Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty: To eliminate under-eye bags, he meticulously smoothed the fat pads and tightened the skin of the lower lids.
- Facial Laser Skin Resurfacing: As the final touch, a facial laser treatment was used to improve the overall quality of the skin—reducing fine lines, smoothing texture, and creating a more even, radiant tone.
This combination is so effective because it addresses both the underlying structure (eyelids) and the surface canvas (skin) at the same time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Am I too old for this type of surgery? With modern techniques and the ability to perform these procedures safely under local anesthesia, age is much less of a factor. Every patient sees their primary care doctor prior to surgery to ensure they are a good candidate. This 80+ year old patient is a testament to how well patients of all ages can do.
What does “one and done” mean? Are the results permanent? The results are incredibly long-lasting. The fat and skin removed during a blepharoplasty are gone for good. While the natural aging process continues, most patients enjoy their refreshed appearance for 10-15 years or more, and typically never feel the need to have the procedure redone.
Why is combining procedures so effective? Combining blepharoplasty with laser resurfacing provides the most comprehensive rejuvenation possible. The surgery corrects the structural issues of sagging skin and puffy bags, while the laser renews the surface of the skin and builds collagen. It’s a holistic approach that creates a truly harmonious and natural-looking result.
