Eyelid Retraction Surgery in Beverly Hills & Greater Los Angeles

If you’re experiencing chronic eye irritation, blurred vision, or a wide-eyed appearance due to eyelid retraction, you’re not alone. This condition can result from thyroid eye disease, previous lower blepharoplasty, trauma, or even inherited facial anatomy. At our Beverly Hills clinic, Dr. Kami Parsa offers advanced, patient-specific surgical solutions to restore eyelid function and appearance—helping patients across Los Angeles live more comfortably and confidently.

Understanding Eyelid Retraction: More Than Cosmetic

Eyelid retraction occurs when the upper eyelid is pulled too high or the lower eyelid is pulled downward, leaving the eye overly exposed. This isn’t just an aesthetic issue. It can lead to:

  • Chronic dry eye or tearing
  • Blurred or fluctuating vision
  • Foreign body sensation or light sensitivity
  • Eye fatigue and discomfort

In the Los Angeles area, Dr. Parsa frequently treats eyelid retraction caused by thyroid eye disease (Graves’ orbitopathy), failed lower eyelid surgery, or anatomical changes from aging or trauma. Because the condition often worsens over time, early diagnosis and surgical planning are critical.

How We Help: Personalized Care from Consultation to Recovery

At our Beverly Hills clinic, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Every eyelid retraction case is unique—and so is every treatment plan. Here’s how we guide you through the process:

  1. In-Depth Consultation – Dr. Parsa performs a thorough assessment of your facial anatomy, eye health, previous surgeries, and lifestyle needs.
  2. Clear Guidance and Education – We explain the condition, its impact, and your surgical options in plain language, empowering you to make informed decisions.
  3. Tailored Surgical Plan – Depending on your case, Dr. Parsa may recommend one or more of the following procedures:
    • Canthoplasty/Canthopexy to support and tighten the lower eyelid
    • Spacer grafts to restore lid position and coverage
    • Orbital decompression in TED cases to relieve eye protrusion
    • Midface lifting to reposition soft tissue that pulls down on the eyelid
  4. Post-Op Support and Monitoring – Our team remains accessible for all follow-up needs. Healing is carefully tracked to ensure the best long-term results.

Many of our patients travel from nearby areas such as West Hollywood, Santa Monica, Century City, and Brentwood for Dr. Parsa’s expertise. His reputation for natural-looking, technically precise outcomes makes him a top choice for individuals seeking corrective eyelid surgery in Los Angeles.

Words cannot express how thankful and appreciative I am to have found you. I am deeply grateful for you, for your generosity and caring nature as pertaining to my medical condition. As you know, I was apprehensive about having further surgery, but you are and have been reassuring and confident in the type of procedure you would perform in order to fix my eyelid from the beginning. The fact that you are not pushy and gave me the time and space to make the decision on my own allowed me to prepare myself mentally and emotionally, that really made a difference. Besides from that, your continuous generosity made me confident that you were the right doctor for the task at hand. You will never know how appreciative I am of that. I would also like to let you know how pleased I am with the results of the surgery. I have not felt this comfortable in years. My parents are also very grateful since this was my 14th surgery. You have a true gift. Thank you again for your patience, time, concern, and overall care. I pray that God continues to give you strength to help people who truly need life-changing medical procedures.

Dr. Parsa is an amazing doctor. Warm and very caring. I had my eyes done a couple years ago and I couldn't be happier. Dr. Parsa likes to take the conservative approach which I greatly appreciate in a doctor when it comes to cosmetic surgery. I also go to Dr. Parsa for Botox and he always knows just the right amount. The staff in Dr. Parsa's office are all terrific!
