Tracy CarltonGoogle Review · 2 months agoDr. Bolourian and his staff are all amazing. So friendly and knowledgeable. I had an upper and lower Bleph plus laser skin resurfacing. I couldn't be any more pleased with the results. I am about to turn 60 years old and you would never know by looking at me.

Mena LGoogle Review · 3 months agoI originally went to Dr. Bolourian for a facelift consultation, but I really appreciated his honesty and professionalism when he told me I didn't need a facelift yet. Instead, he recommended an endoscopic brow lift, and I'm so happy I trusted his advice.
I absolutely love my results. My eyebrows are lifted beautifully, my eyelids are no longer sagging, and my eyes look much more open and refreshed. Even my forehead wrinkles are gone, but everything still looks natural.

MaryAnn FeryanitzGoogle Review · 2 months agoI had an excellent experience with Dr. Bolourian at OC Surgical Specialists. From my first appointment, he was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. He took the time to thoroughly explain my procedure, answer all of my questions, and ensure I felt comfortable and confident every step of the way.
The procedure and recovery went smoothly, and I always felt I was in the best hands. Dr. Bolourian's skill, attention to detail, and compassionate approach made a potentially stressful experience much easier. His staff was also friendly, organized, and responsive throughout the entire process.

Susana LCGoogle Review · 1 month agoIf you're looking for an exceptional plastic surgeon, I cannot recommend Dr. Boularian highly enough. My facelift results have exceeded every expectation. Two years later, I still look refreshed, youthful, and natural. People often tell me I look well-rested, and that's exactly the result I was hoping for.
Dr. Boularian is incredibly talented, meticulous, and truly cares about his patients.
You slept fine. You have plenty of energy. But people still ask if you're tired.
The eyes are often the first place the face shows age. Upper eyelid skin loosens and begins to fold toward the lash line. Fat beneath the eyes pushes forward into bags. Eye makeup stops sitting the way it used to, and creams and serums can only do so much.
Blepharoplasty addresses the cause: excess skin, protruding fat, and loosened tissue around the eyelids. The goal isn't a different face. It's a more open, rested look that finally matches the way you feel.
Dr. Bolourian plans every eyelid procedure around your full facial anatomy, so your eyes look lighter, brighter, and more alert, while you still look like you.
For heavy, hooded, or drooping upper eyelids. Dr. Bolourian removes excess skin and adjusts the underlying tissue as needed through an incision placed within the natural crease of the lid. The result is a lighter, more open upper eyelid. When excess skin interferes with vision, upper eyelid surgery may also help improve your field of view.

For under-eye bags, puffiness, and creasing or hollowness beneath the eyes. Through a small incision, placed either inside the lower lid or just below the lash line depending on your anatomy, Dr. Bolourian can reposition or remove fat and tighten loose muscle and skin for a smoother transition from lower lid to cheek.

Many people notice changes above and below the eyes at the same time. Treating both in a single procedure addresses the entire eye area with one surgery and one recovery, and keeps the upper and lower lids in balance with each other.
The eyelids are a small area, and small changes show. Remove too much, and eyes can look hollow, surprised, or simply unfamiliar. Choosing an eyelid surgeon comes down to judgment: knowing what to remove, what to preserve, and when the eyelids aren't the whole story.
Dr. Reza Bolourian, M.D., F.A.C.S., founded Orange County Surgical Specialists and devotes his practice to facial aesthetic and reconstructive surgery. With more than two decades of facial surgery experience, he approaches eyelid surgery as part of the whole face, not as an isolated procedure.
After earning his medical degree from the State University of New York Health Science Center, Dr. Bolourian completed seven years of training in general and maxillofacial surgery, followed by a fellowship in cosmetic surgery. He is board certified by the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery, and is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons.
He also serves as an attending facial trauma specialist at MemorialCare Health System and Saddleback Hospital. For you, that means a surgeon who understands how the bone, muscle, and soft tissue of the face work together, not just the skin on the surface.
Dr. Bolourian's philosophy is "less is more." Before recommending surgery, he evaluates your brows, eyelids, cheeks, and overall facial balance, with the goal of preserving your natural eye shape and expression. You should look rested and alert, never pulled, hollowed, or overdone.
Eyelid surgery is performed in the practice's fully accredited, on-site surgical facility, built to hospital-grade standards for a private, controlled, and comfortable setting.

Two people who both say they look tired can need very different treatment. That's why Dr. Bolourian doesn't start with a procedure. He starts by evaluating the entire eye area and how it relates to the rest of your face.
For some patients, upper eyelid surgery alone is the right answer. Others benefit from combining it with lower eyelid surgery, a brow lift, fat grafting, or skin resurfacing. Dr. Bolourian explains his recommendations in plain language, using visual aids, so you understand exactly why a plan fits your face.
Every patient heals differently, but here is a general picture of what recovery looks like. You'll receive detailed aftercare instructions before surgery, and our team is available to answer questions throughout your recovery.
Swelling and bruising around the eyes are normal. Cold compresses help, and many patients find discomfort mild and manageable as directed in their aftercare instructions.
Many patients plan to take about a week to ten days before returning to work and light activities, and some return sooner. Dr. Bolourian will give you guidance specific to your procedure and how you're healing.
Most visible swelling and bruising fades within the first couple of weeks. Subtle swelling can take several months to fully resolve, and your eyes will continue to settle during that time. Attending your follow-up appointments helps ensure you're healing as expected.
The goal is for you to look more rested, not like a different person. Dr. Bolourian's approach is designed to preserve your natural eye shape and expression while reducing heaviness, puffiness, and excess skin. Friends may notice you look refreshed without being able to say exactly why.
Yes. Many patients have both upper and lower blepharoplasty in the same procedure. Eyelid surgery can also be combined with other facial procedures, such as a brow lift, facelift, fat grafting, or skin resurfacing, when that better suits your goals.
Upper eyelid incisions are placed within the natural crease of the lid. Lower eyelid incisions are made just beneath the lash line or on the inside of the lower lid. Placement is chosen to be as discreet as possible, though healing and scarring vary from patient to patient.
Results are long-lasting, and many patients enjoy them for years. Surgery doesn't stop the natural aging process, so the eye area will continue to change over time. Sun protection and good skincare can help you maintain your results.
It can be either. When performed to improve appearance, blepharoplasty is considered cosmetic and isn't covered by insurance. When sagging upper eyelids impair your vision, insurance may cover part or all of the procedure, depending on your plan.
Upper eyelid blepharoplasty is currently offered at $5,250 $3,950 all-inclusive, covering the surgeon's fee, anesthesia, and facility fee. Lower eyelid surgery and combined upper-and-lower procedures are priced according to your treatment plan, and you'll receive a detailed, personalized quote after your consultation. Financing options are available.
Heavy upper lids aren't always caused by the eyelids alone. When the brow has descended, it can push extra skin down onto the upper lid, and eyelid surgery by itself may not fully address that. Dr. Bolourian evaluates brow position during your consultation to determine whether eyelid surgery, a brow lift, or a combination will give you the most natural result.
Arrange for a trusted adult to drive you home and help you on the day of surgery. Keep cold compresses on hand, plan a few quiet days at home, and schedule your follow-up visits in advance. Our team will send you home with detailed aftercare instructions.
