Do your eyes feel physically heavy, as if a weight is constantly pulling them down? This is more than just a cosmetic concern; for many, it’s a functional issue that can genuinely impair vision, making the world seem dimmer. When you pair that physical burden with prominent under-eye bags, the result is an appearance that looks—and feels—perpetually exhausted.
We understand that you want to see the world clearly and have the world see the vibrant, energetic person you truly are. A comprehensive surgical plan can address both concerns, making you look and feel like a new person.
Case Study: Seeing and Being Seen
Patients who benefit from this combined approach often report that their droopy upper eyelids have begun to create a “curtain” over their eyes, forcing them to tilt their head back just to see clearly. They are also frustrated by puffy under-eye bags that no amount of sleep or concealer can hide.
The patient in this photo is a perfect example of a life-changing transformation. Following a specialized surgical plan with Dr. Jason Sabet-Peyman, her results are twofold. Aesthetically, she looks dramatically more rested and alert. Functionally, she can now see her surroundings much better. Her eyes are open, the puffiness is gone, and her entire expression is one of renewed vitality.
Procedural Breakdown: A Two-Part Surgical Solution
This patient’s incredible result was achieved by correcting two distinct anatomical issues in one procedure:
- Upper Eyelid Ptosis Repair: The first step was to address the heavy, drooping upper lid. This was not just excess skin; the underlying muscle that lifts the eyelid (the levator muscle) had weakened. A ptosis repair involves tightening this muscle, physically lifting the eyelid to a higher, more natural position. This directly un-shades the pupil, which is why patients can literally see better afterward.
- Transconjunctival Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty: To address the under-eye bags, Dr. Sabet-Peyman performed a scarless lower eyelid lift. The term “transconjunctival” means the incision was made discreetly inside the lower eyelid. Through this hidden entry point, he was able to remove the protruding fat pads that cause puffiness, all without any external incision or visible scar.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need a ptosis repair or just a blepharoplasty? A blepharoplasty removes excess skin, while a ptosis repair tightens the underlying muscle. During your consultation, Dr. Sabet-Peyman will perform a comprehensive evaluation, including measuring your eyelid muscle function, to determine the precise cause of the drooping and recommend the correct procedure.
Will a transconjunctival blepharoplasty leave me with loose skin? This is a common question. This technique is ideal for patients whose primary concern is fat herniation (bags) with good skin elasticity. If loose skin is also a significant issue, Dr. Sabet-Peyman can combine the procedure with a pinch of skin removal or laser resurfacing for a perfectly smooth result.
Will I look like myself after surgery? Absolutely. The goal is to restore you to a more youthful and rested version of yourself, not to change your fundamental features. You will look brighter and more energetic, but you will still look like you.
