Patient Testimonials

I live in New York, but a trip to Los Angeles to be treated by Dr. Sunder and her staff at her luxurious plastic surgery center was a big treat! The experience started with Davina’s warm welcome when I checked in. Gabriella, competently, with words of encouragement did an outstanding job on my face using the Sofwave device that stimulates collagen production and tightens the skin.
Dr. Sunder, a master surgeon, and an incredible, brilliant doctor, not only delivered the best Deep Chemical Peel with phenomenal results, but she followed up with clear instructions and care.
Her practice deserves every praise and a million thanks for giving me that incredible experience!

Who is a Candidate for Eyelid Surgery in Beverly Hills?

Are you tired of seeing tired eyes staring back at you in the mirror? If you've noticed the gradual changes that time can bring, such as drooping eyelids, puffy under-eye bags, or excess skin obscuring the natural contours of your eyes, an eyelid lift might be the transformative solution you've been longing for.

The ideal candidate for this procedure is someone who wants their eyes to reflect their inner vitality – someone who seeks to align their outer appearance with their youthful spirit.

If your eyes no longer convey the youthful energy you feel inside, or if you find yourself constantly looking fatigued due to sagging skin and puffiness, an eyelid lift could be the answer. You might be feeling frustrated or even self-conscious about the way your eyes have changed over time. You may have tried various creams and treatments to alleviate the issues, only to find that they offer limited results. If you're ready to regain the lifted, refreshed look you once had, a blepharoplasty in Beverly Hills can provide the rejuvenation you desire, allowing your true radiance to shine through.

The Eyelid Lift Process What to Expect

During your journey to revitalized and more youthful-looking eyes, Sunder Plastic Surgery wants to ensure you're well-informed and supported every step of the way. This is what you can expect on your eyelid lift journey:

Beverly Hills Eyelid Lift Consultation

Your transformation begins with a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Sarmela Sunder. She will attentively listen to your concerns, assess your unique facial anatomy, and discuss your aesthetic goals.

Customized Treatment Plan

Based on your consultation, Dr. Sunder will create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific eyelid concerns. Whether it's addressing upper eyelid hooding, lower eyelid bags, or a combination of both, the plan will be tailored to achieve the most natural and harmonious results.

Procedure Preparation

On the day of your procedure, Dr. Sunder and her team will ensure you're comfortable and well-prepared for the surgery. Local anesthesia or sedation will be administered to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.

Incision Placement

The incisions for eyelid lift surgery are strategically placed to minimize visible scarring. For upper eyelid surgery, the incisions are typically made within the natural crease of the eyelid, allowing excess skin to be removed and the eyelid to be tightened. Lower eyelid incisions are often made just below the lash line or inside the lower lid.

Precision Surgery

Dr. Sunder employs meticulous surgical techniques to remove excess skin, fat, and tissue as needed. For upper eyelid surgery, underlying muscles may also be tightened to restore a more youthful contour. For lower eyelids, any excess fat causing puffiness can be expertly repositioned or removed.

Closure and Recovery

Once the necessary adjustments are made, the incisions are carefully closed with sutures. You'll be given detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. Dr. Sunder and her team will closely monitor your progress and offer any support you need during your healing journey.

Results Unveiled

As the healing process unfolds, you'll gradually notice the revitalizing effects of your eyelid lift. Swelling and bruising will subside, revealing more youthful and refreshed eyes. Dr. Sunder's precise techniques aim to achieve a harmonious and natural outcome that enhances your overall facial appearance.

Blepharoplasty Patient Testimonial

I couldn't be happier with my newly "opened" eyes, thanks to Dr. Sunder. To address the problem of sagging eyelids and dark shadows, Dr. Sunder performed an upper blepharoplasty and under-eye laser treatment. The procedure was virtually pain-free and the outcome was very natural. My whole appearance was rejuvenated and with it, my confidence.
