The procedure
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.
The technique
Two Procedures in One Surgery
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
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.

Your quad blepharoplasty journey
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
Your Recovery, Week by Week
- 01 / 04Immediately 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.
- 02 / 04Week 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.
- 03 / 04Weeks 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.
- 04 / 04Months 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.
Combined treatments
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.
Combined treatments
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.
