Blepharoplasty
Your eyes not only help you see: they also communicate how you feel. Signs of aging can make you look tired, even when you're not.
Plastic surgeon Sahar Nadimi can perform blepharoplasty (or eyelid surgery) to remove excess skin and fat from around your eyes.
Learn how our double board-certified surgeon in the Chicago, IL, suburb of Oakbrook Terrace can help you look rested and rejuvenated.
What Is Blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty is a plastic surgery procedure during which a doctor eliminates excess skin, fat, and puffiness from around the eyes, reducing the appearance of folds and bags and giving you a more youthful appearance. If sagging eyelids are partially blocking your vision, the procedure can restore your full field of vision.

What Can Blepharoplasty Do for You?
Blepharoplasty can address both aesthetic and functional concerns regarding the eyelids. The procedure can:
Eliminate loose or sagging skin from the upper eyelids, which can create deep creases and even affect vision
Reduce wrinkles on the eyelids that make you look older
Remove deposits of fat from the lids that make the eyes appear puffy
Eliminate bags under the eyes that result from loose skin and excess fat
Firm up the skin in the lower eyelids to eliminate sagging skin and reduce fine wrinkles
While blepharoplasty can treat excess eyelid skin that is starting to droop, as well as possible bulging fat pads, it is not intended to eliminate wrinkles from the outer corners of the eyes and the high cheekbones (crow's feet). If these are among your areas of concern, Dr. Nadimi can use BOTOX® Cosmetic to correct wrinkles in the area without surgery.
Superior results are often achieved with complementary procedures. Many patients choose to combine blepharoplasty with a facelift or brow lift for a more dramatic cosmetic improvement. Dr. Nadimi may also recommend these to obtain well-balanced and natural-looking results.
Reverse the Signs of Aging With Blepharoplasty
Dr. Sahar Nadimi explains how the eyes are one of the first places where signs of aging appear. Her unique and precise skill allows her to perform highly effective eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, to reduce the tired, groggy look and result in a refreshed appearance. Dr. Nadimi's expertise enables patients to recover quickly and resume their normal social life sooner than later.

Our Five-Star Reviews From Happy Patients

I give the highest marks possible to Dr. Sahar Nadimi and her staff. I'm from out of state and found the Chicago Hair Institute during a Google search, and I'm glad I did. Dr. Nadimi is a very skilled surgeon, and I found her communication skills before, during, and after surgery, to be of the highest order. The staff put me at ease throughout, and they allowed me to come in on as many days post surgery for washing or check up as I wanted. I felt very taken care of. The surgery I received was an FUT hair restoration, mainly of the front hairline, to cover an old scar, along with a few additional grafts in the crown region. My experience at the Chicago Hair Institute Clinic was A+++, and I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone. Thank you.

I would like to give the highest praise to Dr Sahar Nadimi and all of her staff. I was referred to Dr. Nadimi by a friend who saw her for a hair transplant and had excellent results. I saw Dr. Nadimi for a lip lift since I always have had a long droopy upper lip that would often make people ask me what was wrong, by making me look sad. Since I have had the lip lift though it makes my face look a lot happier and as well, I am more confident and happy and myself. My lip surgery was very comfortable as well as the recovery, and the results are excellent. It is virtually impossible to see any scarring left from this. As well the whole experience was great! Everybody there is very warm and friendly and treats you like family, the office is very warmly inviting and clean, and the whole experience is just top-notch! If you are considering one of the services she provides, I hope you look into an appointment with her. You won't have to look anywhere else.

I have had a terrific experience with Dr Sahar Nadimi for facial injections, namely Botox. She has such a delicate touch and I am so pleased with the results. I want to still look natural and not frozen. I highly recommend her to anyone thinking about Botox! You will be amazed by the results.

Thanks to modern surgical techniques, any scars will be hidden once healed. Our plastic surgeons make minimally invasive incisions in the natural creases around the eye, where scars are nearly unnoticeable.
Blepharoplasty FAQ
What will my eyelid surgery results look like?
Blepharoplasty is a short, simple surgery that can produce significant results and high patient satisfaction. As an experienced, double board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Nadimi will not over-correct your eyes, but will instead give you natural-looking results through precise surgical techniques.
How long does it take to heal from blepharoplasty?
Most patients require several days or up to a week off of work until the bruising and swelling subsides. Dr. Nadimi will give you specific instructions regarding your recovery, such as using over-the-counter pain medication, ice, and artificial tears to reduce discomfort. After about a week, you will return to our office to have your stitches removed.
Is blepharoplasty dangerous?
Eyelid surgery is a relatively low-risk procedure. However, there are some complications to be aware of. Bleeding and infection are possible with almost any surgery.
Complications specific to eyelid surgery include dry eyes, discoloration of the eyelids, inability to close the eyes, a sagging lower lash line, or vision impairment. You can reduce your risk of complications by choosing to work with a skilled plastic and reconstructive surgeon like Dr. Nadimi.

"Highly recommend Dr. Nadimi."
"Dr. Nadimi has always made me feel very comfortable. She made me feel like I was not a number and she never pressured me into committing to get the procedure done with her. Moreover, Dr. Nadimi explained in detail the procedure, the expectations, the risks and the after care instructions were very clear. Following the procedure, I’ve contacted the office with some questions and she got back to me in a timely manner and took the time to address all my concerns. Aside from the doctor, the office staff is outstanding as well and very warm. They make you feel special and they are trustworthy.
It was the best decision I ever made, I have no regrets. My confidence went up, people noticed a big change at work and I even got a promotion few months later. Everybody that have known me before I got the procedure done keep telling me how amazing I look and how impressed they are with the results. It looks very natural, you would not be able to tell that I got this done. This has been truly a life changing decision for me. I highly recommend Dr. Nadimi." mapichou on RealSelf Reviews
