One of the most common questions we hear from patients considering facial rejuvenation is, “How long will my results last?” It’s a crucial question. An investment in yourself should provide lasting value, not a temporary fix. While no procedure can stop the clock entirely, expert eyelid surgery offers a remarkably durable solution, delivering a refreshed and more youthful appearance that can last for years to come.
The goal is not just to look better now, but to enjoy a revitalized look for the next decade and beyond.
Case Study: The Proof of Lasting Results
Patients often come to us seeking a comprehensive solution for the signs of aging around the eyes—heavy upper eyelid skin, prominent under-eye bags, and changes in skin texture. They want a “one and done” procedure that will provide a significant and lasting impact.
This patient’s result is a perfect testament to that goal. The ‘after’ photo shown here was taken years following her comprehensive eyelid rejuvenation with Dr. Jason Sabet-Peyman. As you can see, there is no sign of recurrence of the under-eye bags or the upper eyelid redundancy. Her eyes remain open, bright, and youthful, demonstrating the truly enduring nature of a well-performed procedure.
Procedural Breakdown: The Comprehensive Approach
This patient’s lasting transformation was achieved by combining two gold-standard procedures in a single session:
- Quad Blepharoplasty (Upper and Lower Eyelid Lift): Dr. Sabet-Peyman first addressed the structural issues. He precisely removed the excess, drooping skin from the upper eyelids and removed and sculpted the fat pads under the eyes creating a restored, smooth, alert, and natural contour to the entire eye area.
- Laser Skin Resurfacing: To enhance the surgical results, laser resurfacing was performed on the surrounding skin. This powerful treatment improves skin quality by stimulating collagen production, smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, and creating a more even, radiant complexion.
This combination is so effective because it addresses both the foundational structure and the surface canvas, creating a harmonious result that stands the test of time.

His entire practice is focused on providing outcomes that offer significant, lasting value to his patients.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How long do the results of a blepharoplasty really last?
The results are exceptionally long-lasting. The fat and skin that are removed are gone permanently. While you will continue to age naturally, your eyes will always look more youthful and rested than if you had never had the procedure. Most patients enjoy their results for well over 10-15 years. - What does “no sign of recurrence” mean?
This means the specific issues that were surgically corrected—the protruding under-eye fat pads and the significant excess skin on the upper lids—have not returned, even years later. It speaks to the stability and effectiveness of the surgical correction. - Why is it better to combine laser resurfacing with eyelid surgery?
Combining these procedures provides a complete rejuvenation. The blepharoplasty addresses the folds and fat pads, while the laser perfects the skin. This synergy creates a more comprehensively rejuvenated final result.
