Eyelid Surgery Before and After Photos
Dr. Malcolm Lesavoy approaches eyelid surgery as both a precise operation and an artistic refinement. This gallery features authentic before-and-after photos of real patients who underwent blepharoplasty with Dr. Lesavoy in Beverly Hills.
Each result is planned to look refreshed and alert, never operated on. The goal is to restore a brighter, more rested eye while preserving the natural shape. Outcomes vary based on anatomy, skin quality, age, and healing. These photographs demonstrate what personalized surgical planning can achieve.
The gallery is organized by female, Asian, and male blepharoplasty so you can review results that more closely reflect your own features and goals. We welcome you to schedule a consultation with Dr. Lesavoy to see what eyelid surgery can do for you.
Blepharoplasty Before and After Photos of Female Patients
Patient 1
Her concern was hooded upper eyelids that flattened her crease and hid the lid platform. Dr. Lesavoy performed upper blepharoplasty to remove the extra skin and restore a clean, natural fold. The after photo answers a common question: does eyelid surgery on women look natural? After photo shows a more open eye that still matches her brow and face.
Patient 2
This patient asked whether a conservative eye lift could make her look more awake without looking operated on. Before surgery, extra upper-lid skin sat over the crease and softened her gaze. Upper blepharoplasty by Dr. Malcolm Lesavoy restored a defined, feminine crease and more visible lid platform. The after photo shows a polished, natural result that still reads as her own eyes.
Patient 3
This patient wanted her green eyes to look more open and less tired. Before surgery, upper-lid skin sat low over the crease and mild lower-lid fullness softened her gaze. Dr. Malcolm Lesavoy performed female blepharoplasty in Beverly Hills to refine both lids. After surgery, there is more lid show, a cleaner crease, and a brighter expression that still looks like her.
Patient 4
Excess lower eyelid bags and upper-lid heaviness were both present. The bags created a puffy, shadowed under-eye that made her look older in close-up photos. Dr. Lesavoy addressed the lower-lid fullness and refined the upper lids. After blepharoplasty, the bags are reduced, the eyes look more open, the lid-cheek junction is smoother, and her eye shape stays the same.
Patient 5
Heavy upper eyelids were crowding her lashes and making the eyes look smaller. She also had early puffiness along the lower lids. Upper and lower blepharoplasty by Dr. Lesavoy lifted the hooded skin and refreshed the under-eye contour. The after photo shows a more defined crease and a rested, feminine look without a change in eye shape.
Patient 6
She wanted the tired look around her eyes to match how she felt. Before surgery, upper-lid hooding and under-eye shadowing weighed down her expression. Female eyelid surgery by Dr. Malcolm Lesavoy in Beverly Hills created a cleaner crease and a more rested gaze. The after close-up shows brighter, more open eyes without changing her identity.
Patient 7
In addition to upper eyelid excess skin, this set also shows excess lower eyelid bags. Before surgery, puffiness under the eyes created a tired look that rest and concealer could not correct. Dr. Malcolm Lesavoy performed lower blepharoplasty, with upper-lid refinement as needed, to flatten the bags and restore a smoother lid-to-cheek transition. After surgery, the under-eye area looks more even and her eyes appear brighter, not hollow.
Patient 8
With this female patient in her 60’s, excess lower eyelid bags and upper-lid heaviness were both present. The bags created a puffy, shadowed under-eye that made her look older in close-up photos. Dr. Lesavoy addressed the lower-lid fullness and refined the upper lids. After blepharoplasty, the bags are reduced, the eyes look more open, and the lid-cheek junction is smoother, while her eye shape stays the same.
Patient 9
This before and after demonstrates excess skin on upper eyelids and lower eyelid bags. Prominent under-eye puffiness was the first thing she noticed in every photo, and it made her look fatigued. Dr. Malcolm Lesavoy performed upper eyelid surgery and lower blepharoplasty to reduce the bags and blend the lid into the cheek. The after result looks like rest, not surgery: smoother lower lids, brighter eyes, and no pulled or hollow appearance.
Patient 10
These close-ups show what hooded eyelid surgery looks like before and after on the same woman. In the before images, excess upper-lid skin drapes over the lashes and hides the crease, so the eye looks heavy from both the front and the three-quarter angle. Fine lower-lid wrinkling adds to the tired appearance.
Dr. Malcolm Lesavoy performed female blepharoplasty in Beverly Hills to lift that extra skin and restore a clean, natural crease. After surgery, the lid platform is visible again, the lashes sit free of the fold, and the eye looks more open without a change in shape. The side view is useful if you are wondering whether an eye lift will still look natural in profile: the contour is smoother and more defined, but it still reads as her eye.
Patient 11
Hooded upper eyelids were the main issue. Excess skin covered her crease and made the eyes appear smaller in photos. An upper blepharoplasty by Dr. Lesavoy restored lid show and a more open, refreshed gaze. This is a useful example of what hooded eyelid surgery can look like before and after when the goal is a natural eye lift, not a new eye shape.
Patient 12
Hooded upper eyelids were the main issue. Excess skin covered her crease and made the eyes appear smaller in photos. An upper blepharoplasty by Dr. Lesavoy restored lid show and a more open, refreshed gaze. This is a useful example of what hooded eyelid surgery can look like before and after when the goal is a natural eye lift, not a new eye shape.
Patient 13
This patient was bothered by hooded upper lids and aging around the lower eyelids. The before photo shows extra skin on the uppers and a heavier under-eye contour. Eyelid surgery by Dr. Lesavoy opened the lids and softened the tired appearance while keeping a natural blue-eyed gaze. The result is a more alert expression with her own eye shape preserved.
Asian Blepharoplasty Before and After Photos
Patient 14
.This Asian blepharoplasty before and after shows upper eyelid surgery by Dr. Malcolm Lesavoy in Beverly Hills. She was bothered by hooded lids and a faint crease. After surgery, the eyes look more open and rested, with a natural crease. Her eye shape and ethnic features were preserved.
Patient 15
This patient wanted her eyes to look more open and rested without changing the character of an Asian eyelid. In the before photo, heavy upper-lid skin is sitting down over the lashes, the crease is poorly defined, and lower-lid bags give a tired look even at rest. The after photo shows a clean, natural crease, more visible lid platform, and smoother lower lids, with the same eye shape she started with.
Dr. Malcolm Lesavoy performed upper and lower Asian blepharoplasty to address hooded eyelids and under-eye bags together. Excess upper-lid skin was refined and the crease was defined so the eye reads brighter, not Westernized. Lower-lid fullness was reduced so the lid blends more evenly into the cheek. The result is a more alert, refreshed expression that still looks like her.
Male Blepharoplasty Before and After Photos
Patient 16
This before and after set is a clear look at what male eyelid surgery can do for heavy, hooded lids on an older man. In the before photo, excess upper-lid skin folds down over the lashes and hides the crease. The eyes look partly closed and tired, even at rest. That is one of the most common reasons men ask about blepharoplasty: the lids make them look sleepy, stern, or older than they feel.
Dr. Malcolm Lesavoy performed male blepharoplasty in Beverly Hills to lift that extra skin and restore a more open, alert eye. The after photo shows the difference without a change in identity. More of the iris is visible. The lid no longer sits on the lashes. The expression is rested rather than weighed down. His brows, eye shape, and masculine character are the same. That is the standard for male eyelid surgery: look less tired, not “done.”
Will an eye lift make a man look younger? It can take the heaviness out of the lids and refresh the gaze, which reads as more youthful. Will it look natural on an older patient? This result is age-appropriate. The goal was not a wide, rounded eye. The goal was a cleaner lid and a more awake expression that still matches his face. Can other people tell? When male blepharoplasty is planned conservatively, the usual comment is that you look rested, not that you had surgery.
Hooded eyelids in men are often more than a cosmetic issue. Extra upper-lid skin can crowd the lashes, limit how open the eye appears in photos, and in some patients contribute to a heavy feeling along the lid. This gallery set shows the cosmetic change: a lighter upper lid, a more visible eye, and a smoother, more even look from brow to lash line. Lower-lid aging is milder here; the main transformation is the upper lid.
If you are comparing male blepharoplasty results and wondering whether eyelid surgery is worth it for hooded eyes, use both sides of this photograph together. The before image shows how much skin was sitting on the lid. The after image shows a natural, masculine result that keeps his features intact. Individual results vary with anatomy, skin quality, and healing. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Lesavoy to see whether a similar plan fits your eyelids.
Patient 17
These photographs show male blepharoplasty before and after on the same patient. In the before images, excess upper-lid skin folds over the crease and makes the eyes look heavy, even at rest. The close-up makes that hooding obvious; the wider view shows how it dulls the whole expression.
Dr. Malcolm Lesavoy performed eyelid surgery in Beverly Hills with a male-specific plan: a lower, natural crease and no rounding of the eye. After surgery, the lids look more open and alert, with better lid show and a rested gaze. His brow, eye shape, and masculine character are unchanged. That is the point of male eyelid surgery is to look less tired, not “done.”
If you are comparing male eyelid surgery before and after results, these two angles are useful together. The close-up shows the crease and skin fold; the second view shows how the same change reads on the face.
Patient 18
This before and after shows male blepharoplasty from an angle people rarely see on a gallery page, and it is often the view that matters most. In the before photo, excess upper-lid skin folds down over the eye. From the side, the lid looks heavy and the eye appears partly shut. That hooding is what many men notice in profile photos, in the car mirror, or when someone says they look tired.
Dr. Malcolm Lesavoy performed male eyelid surgery in Beverly Hills to reduce that extra skin and open the lid without feminizing the eye. The after close-up shows a clearer crease, more visible blue iris, and a lid that no longer sits on the lashes. The eye looks awake. The brow, the shape of the eye, and the masculine character of the face are unchanged.
Hooded lids can also make crow’s feet and lower-lid lines look deeper because the upper lid is crowding the eye. Surgery does not erase every line around the eye, and this after photo does not pretend otherwise. What it does show is a lighter upper lid and a more open gaze, the part of aging men most often want improved.
