The eyes are the most expressive feature of the face — and often the first place where visible aging appears. Hooded upper eyelids, puffy under-eye bags, and dark circles can make a person look perpetually tired, aged, or sad regardless of how rested they actually feel. Blepharoplasty — also called an eyelid lift — directly addresses these changes through precise removal of excess eyelid skin and fat, restoring a refreshed, naturally youthful appearance. For Malibu-area patients considering blepharoplasty, Dr. John Anastasatos’s Beverly Hills practice is an easy drive along the coast, offering the surgical refinement and aesthetic artistry Malibu’s standard demands.

Dr. Anastasatos was profiled by the Beverly Hills Courier in a feature titled “Anastasatos turns Body Restoration into art form” — a profile reflecting his reputation specifically for refined aesthetic surgical work. He has practiced cosmetic plastic surgery in Beverly Hills since establishing his practice in 2007, with over two decades of experience in the precise facial work blepharoplasty requires. Board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS), a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), and named by The Luxe Insider as one of the Top 10 Plastic Surgeons in the World.

Upper Eyelid Lift

The upper eyelids are one of the most common areas of visible aging — the skin loses elasticity and can become loose and hooded, making the eyes appear smaller, sleepier, or more tired than the patient actually feels. In severe cases, hooded upper eyelids can impair peripheral vision. Upper blepharoplasty uses a small incision in the natural crease of the upper eyelid to remove excess skin and fat and tighten the underlying tissue. The incision heals within the crease and is essentially invisible once healed. The result is a more open, alert, rested eye without changing the fundamental shape or character of the eye itself.

Upper eyelid surgery can also create a defined eyelid crease for patients of Asian descent who have a single upper eyelid, or correct congenital traits that produce a perpetually sleepy appearance.

Lower Eyelid Lift

The lower eyelid area is technically more complex and addresses under-eye bags from herniated fat, sagging skin, and dark circles or puffiness caused by visible blood vessels beneath the thin lower eyelid skin. Lower blepharoplasty removes excess skin and fat, tightens the lower eyelid muscle, and can address blood vessels contributing to dark circles. The technique preserves the natural shape of the eye — a properly performed lower lid lift does NOT change eye shape.

Combined Procedures for Comprehensive Rejuvenation

Upper and lower blepharoplasty are commonly performed together in a single operation. Dr. Anastasatos also frequently combines blepharoplasty with an endoscopic brow lift, producing dramatic, harmonious upper-face rejuvenation in a single coordinated recovery.

“Malibu patients tend to set a high bar for natural results — the kind of outcome that looks like the patient just got more rest, not like they had surgery. That’s exactly the standard I aim for in eyelid surgery. The art form profile that the Beverly Hills Courier published reflects that approach across all my facial work, including the precision-dependent work around the eyes.” — Dr. John Anastasatos
