Discover Complete Eye Rejuvenation with Quad Blepharoplasty


What Is Quad Blepharoplasty?

Quad blepharoplasty combines upper and lower eyelid surgery into one comprehensive procedure for complete eye area rejuvenation. This approach addresses aging signs across all four eyelids during a single surgical session.

Beautiful MALE UPPER EYELID BLEPHAROPLASTY to improve excess upper lid skin. The excess skin was removed to help rejuvenate his eyes while preserving a natural look. Given the slight brow descent, we discussed a possible direct lateral brow lift in addition to the upper lid blepharoplasty. We both agreed that given his desires and his physical exam, an upper eyelid skin removal procedure through a blepharoplasty approach would help give him the results he was looking for, and it did!

Beautiful before and after of our patient after undergoing UPPER AND LOWER BLEPHAROPLASTY with FAT REPOSITIONING TO LOWER LIDS. Excessive upper lid skin was removed through a conservative upper lid skin removal blepharoplasty. Her main issues were the under eye fat pockets, so I was able to successfully improve her lower eyelids through a non-visible incision approach (transconjunctival) and use adequate repositioning to also address her under eye hollowing at the same time!

Upper Eyelid Surgery

The upper component removes excess skin and fatty tissue that create hooded, drooping lids. Dr. Zoumalan places precise incisions within your natural eyelid crease, addresses sagging skin, and repositions or removes fat deposits for a refreshed upper lid contour with virtually invisible scars.

Lower Blepharoplasty

The lower component corrects under-eye bags, puffiness, and volume loss. Dr. Zoumalan typically uses a transconjunctival approach—making incisions inside the eyelid for no visible scarring. He specializes in fat repositioning, moving excess fat to fill under-eye hollows rather than simply removing it.

Benefits of Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty

Quad blepharoplasty offers comprehensive advantages for patients seeking complete eye rejuvenation in a single surgical procedure.

Addresses Complete Eye Aging

Quad blepharoplasty simultaneously corrects both upper lid hooding and lower lid bags that create a tired, aged appearance. This comprehensive approach treats excess upper lid skin, drooping tissue, under-eye puffiness, and volume loss together for balanced, proportional rejuvenation across the entire periorbital region.

Single Recovery Period

Combining upper and lower blepharoplasty means experiencing one recovery period instead of two separate healing phases. You undergo anesthesia once, schedule time off work once, and progress through swelling and bruising on a single timeline, returning to normal activities within two weeks.

Harmonious, Balanced Results

Dr. Zoumalan plans your quad blepharoplasty as a unified procedure, ensuring upper and lower lid improvements complement each other perfectly. When performed separately, achieving ideal balance between areas can be challenging. Quad blepharoplasty eliminates this concern through simultaneous, harmonized treatment.

Cost-Effective with Long-Lasting Results

Quad blepharoplasty typically costs less than scheduling procedures separately while delivering results that last ten to fifteen years or longer. You pay for anesthesia, facility fees, and surgical planning once. Dr. Zoumalan’s technique creates outcomes where both upper and lower lids age gracefully together.

Who Are Ideal Candidates for Quad Blepharoplasty in Beverly Hills?

The best candidates for quad blepharoplasty experience aging concerns in both upper and lower eyelids. Dr. Zoumalan conducts a comprehensive evaluation during your consultation, examining upper lid excess skin, lower lid fat distribution, and skin quality.

You may be an ideal candidate if:

  • You experience both upper lid hooding and lower lid bags or puffiness
  • You desire comprehensive eye rejuvenation in a single procedure
  • You’re in good overall health with stable weight
  • You have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
  • You’re a non-smoker or willing to quit before surgery
  • You want harmonious, balanced results for upper and lower lids
  • You prefer one recovery period versus multiple procedures

If combined surgery isn’t ideal, Dr. Zoumalan will recommend the best alternative treatment plan at our Beverly Hills office.

SCHEDULE A CONSULTATION

The Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty Process

Consultation

Your quad blepharoplasty journey begins with an unhurried consultation at Dr. Zoumalan’s Beverly Hills office. He dedicates approximately one hour to examining both upper and lower eyelids thoroughly. Dr. Zoumalan evaluates excess skin, fat distribution, and muscle tone while discussing your aesthetic goals. He’ll explain his Natural Looking Blepharoplasty approach and create a customized surgical plan.

Procedure

Quad blepharoplasty takes approximately two to three hours at Dr. Zoumalan’s Beverly Hills surgical center. Upper lids require local anesthesia, while the combined procedure includes twilight sedation for your comfort. Dr. Zoumalan creates hidden incisions in the upper lid creases and uses a transconjunctival approach for the lower lids—leaving no visible scars. His Natural Looking Blepharoplasty technique emphasizes fat repositioning over removal, creating harmonious results that look naturally refreshed.

Recovery

Immediately After

You’ll experience mild swelling and bruising around both eyelids. Cold compresses help minimize discomfort, and keeping your head elevated reduces swelling. Most patients describe sensation as tightness rather than pain. You’ll go home the same day.

Week 1

Sutures from upper lid incisions are removed around day five to seven. Visible swelling and bruising begin subsiding significantly. Most patients return to work after ten to fourteen days.

Weeks 2-3

Swelling continues diminishing as your eyelids heal. You can gradually resume normal activities including light exercise. Residual bruising can be concealed with makeup if desired.

Months 1-3

Final results become visible as all swelling resolves. Your eyes look refreshed, youthful, and completely natural with harmonious balance between upper and lower lids.

Combining Quad Blepharoplasty with Complementary Procedures

Many patients enhance quad blepharoplasty results by combining with complementary procedures for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Brow Lift

Low-set or descended brows often contribute to upper eyelid heaviness. A brow lift elevates the brow position, reducing excess upper lid skin requiring removal. Dr. Zoumalan frequently uses endoscopic brow lift techniques that minimize scarring while providing natural elevation for comprehensive upper face rejuvenation.

He had excess upper lid skin and under eye bags, and he underwent an upper and lower eyelid surgery. - male patient before and after picture

Transformation Tuesday with this handsome gentleman that wanted his eyes refreshed. He had excess UPPER LID SKIN and UNDER EYE BAGS, and he underwent an UPPER AND LOWER EYELID SURGERY. Lower eyelid fat was REPOSITIONED to improve his under eye hollowing at the same time. Given the amount of fat that was repositioned and adequate lower lid volume was preserved, there was no need for lower eyelid skin removal, hence persevering his natural shape to his eye and minimizing visible incisions. Photos taken 8 months after surgery. I agree we could have taken better preop photos in similar lighting, but you can still see the difference and appreciate the improvement in his eyes, all the while still looking NATURAL AND REJUVENATED while preserving his HANDSOME AND MASCULINE look.

Ptosis Surgery

Ptosis surgery corrects drooping caused by weakened eyelid muscles rather than excess skin. When ptosis accompanies upper lid aging, combining ptosis repair with quad blepharoplasty ensures comprehensive correction. Dr. Zoumalan tightens the levator muscle through the same upper lid incision.
