Renowned facial plastic surgeon Doctor Michael Perskybased in Encino, California, confirmed to DailyMail.com that eyelid surgery offers “the most bang for your buck in facial rejuvenation.”
“The procedure has evolved from removing skin, muscle, and fat to leaving the eye muscles intact and removing skin with or without transferring fat,” Dr. Persky explained. “These changes have resulted in less noticeable hollows around the eyes and a natural, fresh appearance.”

Double board certified facial plastic surgeon based in Beverly Hills, California Doctor Carl Truesdale36, explained that an “upper eyelid surgery can be performed to remove excess skin and fat or even add fat to make the eyes appear more youthful and rested.”
According to Dr. Truesdale, who has a practice on Rodeo Drive, “changes in the position and shape of the eyelids can also be used to enhance the eye,” calling the effect “subtle and powerful.”
Dr. Persky said the latest beloved A-list treatment is ezGELa bioregenerative treatment ‘that is 100 percent natural and made from the patient’s own blood’ and ‘is a great natural alternative to eye fillers without the risk of complications associated with hyaluronic acid filler injections.’
He explained that the gel is injected under the eyes, in crow’s feet, on the cheeks, in the lines under the lips and in the nasolabial folds. The treatment is repeated two months later and continued once a year.
Dr. Persky also mentioned a microneedling infusion of hyaluronic acid mixed with Botox, vitamin C and skin bleaching, as well as Ultherapy – a micro-targeted ultrasound firming treatment that Christy Brinkley was a spokesperson for SkinVive, a micro-droplet product that hydrates the skin and gives it a long-lasting glow.

“Kim Kardashian may have introduced the idea of a salmon sperm facial to American pop culture, but this K-beauty innovation has been keeping Hollywood royalty looking youthful and hydrated for nearly a decade,” Dr. Yoo says of the controversial procedure, which Jennifer Aniston also swears by.
Dr. Yoo said many celebrities use devices to tighten their skin. He explained, “A tighter, better skin means you’ll have tighter jawlines and necklines for decades longer than the average person.”
He added: ‘Celebrities are relying on fat grafting and the use of nano-fat to combat aging while remaining unnoticed.’
“Fat is removed under low pressure, often during liposculpture on an area with some extra fat, and once it is purified, it is used as a permanent filler for the face,” says Dr. Yoo.
“Sunken cheeks, temples, and under-eye circles instantly look fresher, fuller, and more youthful. And the best part? It’s virtually undetectable after a week of mild swelling,” says Dr. Yoo, making it a must-have for celebrities heading out on the red carpet or back to set.
