Earlier this year, I saw Dr. Steinsapir and Faith for a very difficult issue involving facial filler that had left me feeling betrayed by my previous injector and unsure who I could go to for help. From the moment I began contact with their office, I felt safe, heard, and cared for in a way I’ve rarely experienced in healthcare. Their kindness, expertise, and genuine compassion stood out immediately. They took the time to truly listen, explain every step of the process, and tailor their approach to my needs. I never felt rushed or like “just another patient.” While my journey has been complex, the care I received here gave me hope and peace during a very challenging time. My results have continued to improve, and I’ve regained confidence that I wasn’t sure I’d ever feel again. In an industry that can so often feel overwhelming and uncertain, Dr. Steinsapir and Faith are a rare gift. They combine incredible skill with a level of empathy and integrity that is hard to find. I will always be grateful to them for the way they guided me through one of the most difficult experiences of my life.

Hyaluronic acid fillers are great but too often neglected. Unless removed with enzyme these products persist indefinitely. As they age, the lower G prime fillers will drift. As they age, all hold more water than when first placed. I find it helpful to remove old fillers every 3 to 4 years and start over. Some clinicians have incorporated ultrasound to localize old fillers. This is more for show as the ultrasound is really not very helpful. It is far more accurate to apply a discerning eye to guide filler removal which is as much art as science. My patient in the photos had two rounds of full face enzyme (hyaluronidase) before being refilled.

Dr. Steinsapir performed bilateral lateral canthoplasty for this woman. Not everyone needs or would benefit from lateral canthoplasty. No matter the hype, it is not a routine part of blepharoplasty. However for the right individual, it can make a world of difference. Dr Steinsapir has a vast experience in primary and revisional eyelid surgery. There is no substitute for a detailed consultation to determine precisely what you need.

Fifty-nine year old man was unhappy with the result of a lower lower eyelid surgery he had by another surgeon several years before. The effect was that his lower eyelids were pulled down and hollow. In the after picture I have repaired the post-blepharoplasty lower eyelid retraction using a hand carved ePFTE rim implant and a hard palate graft on each side

Thirty-year old male with left lower eyelid retraction after an infected malar implant. He was successfully reconstructed by Dr. Steinsapir using an ePTFE rim implant and hard palate graft. An unsightly skin graft is not needed.

Before: Forty-seven year old over-resected by cosmetic blepharoplasty. The upper eyelid creases are too high, the folds are absent, and she has mild lower eyelid retraction. After: One year after reconstruction with Dr. Steinsapir. The upper eyelid folds are restored and the lower eyelid retraction is repaired.

I’ll start off by saying this is my husband’s account . I had a botched upper and lower blepharoplasty with another plastic surgeon that changed my life. My lower lids were so droopy that I couldn’t close my eyes. My upper lids had a very high crease that left my eyes looking sunken in and old. I was depressed and crying every day. I started having anxiety and would suffer an anxiety attack anytime I left my house. I thought this is what my life would be like forever. All I wanted to do was die. I started searching for surgeons that specialize in revision surgeries. I was reading through reviews and Dr Steinsapir stood out above the rest. But then I realized he was in Hollywood, California. I figured there would be no way I could ever afford a surgeon like that. I’m just a regular person working as a nurse in Michigan. I am by no means rich. My friend talked me into calling anyway just to see what they said, and then Faith answered the phone. She was my angel. She spent so much time on the phone with me and she was finally someone that understood exactly what I was feeling, what I was going through, and how much I was suffering. She is a kind, caring and genuine person that wants to help people. I felt so comfortable with her. She convinced me to come and meet Dr Stiensapir. When I hung up the phone with her, I finally had hope. When I met Dr Steinsapir, I knew right away that he was just as caring and empathetic as Faith was. While he was confident in his skills, he never came off as arrogant. He took his time and went over everything with me. He answered all my questions and I never felt rushed. He did a thorough exam, made sketches of my eyes, took measurements and photos. We discussed all my options and his recommendations that were tailored specifically to my needs. I decided to move forward and book my surgery with Dr Steinsapir. In the meantime, anytime I had questions or concerns, he was always just a phone call away. Dr Steinspair would call me back personally to discuss them. Anytime that I needed some extra help and encouragement to make it through the day without falling apart, I could always call and talk to Faith. She really cares about her patients. You don’t feel like you’re just another patient being rushed through the process. You really feel like she is your friend and she cares about your wellbeing. Everything went great with surgery, and I am so happy with the improvement it has made. They are just as wonderful with the after care and follow up. Again, I am a nurse, and have met many surgeons, but never one that measures up to Dr Steinsapir. He is not only extremely knowledgeable and talented, but also empathetic, kind, caring, and compassionate. His entire team is top notch! He truly is an expert at what he does. I am so thankful and forever grateful for the care they gave me. Please, if you are suffering like I was, just make the call. It could give you your life back. Many blessings to Dr Steinsapir and Faith, I hope they know what a difference they make in people’s lives.

My patient came to see me 6 months after disastrous upper eyelid surgery. Rather than looking her best, her over done blepharoplasty skeletonized her eyelids. In the after image she is 6 months healed after crease lowering upper eyelid reconstruction with lateral canthoplasty and ptosis repair. When others say nothing can be done and attempt to invalidate your feelings, it is time to get another opinion.

Asked on Realself: Should I get upper eyelid surgery and undereye fillers?

Dr. Steinsapir's response: The desire to look better is natural and understandable. When you consult my colleagues, irrespective of their particular speciality ( oculoplastics, facial plastics, general plastics, or dermatology), more than likely they will not understand your objective. You won't be alone. Lets be honest, your goal in considering these procedures is to be transformed into a more beautiful self. This is basically the mythic quest of anyone seeking aesthetic surgery and services. Accomplishing this goal should be the mission of any potential surgeon you see but that is sadly not how things work. When you ask for an upper blepharoplasty, more than likely they will not even examine your eyelids. I know because I fix so many eyelids after unsatisfactory eyelid surgery. Instead they will speak to you and tell you that you are a great candidate for eyelid surgery and fillers. That is unfortunate because the examination of the eyelids is very important. If they actually examined your eyes they might discover that you have early upper eyelid ptosis with a compensatory eyebrow elevation. The basis for the mild upper eyelid ptosis is partial central levator aponeurosis disinsertion with loss of a hard upper eyelid crease (accounts for the slight looseness of the upper eyelid platform skin. Assuming you have not reversed your images (very common) you hold your left eyebrow slightly higher than the right. What happens all too commonly with upper blepharoplasty is that the incision is placed at the natural crease but that will be too high. In some cases that could be between 10 and 14 mm. Combined with a failure to recognize the evolving levator disinsertion, the upper eyelid will look hollow and skeletonized. More so when upper eyelid fat and skin are removed even when done "conservatively." Upper fold volume makes up look youthful. Then the fold is removed by the well meaning eyelid surgeon you will shocked and disappointed by the result. It will make you look older rather than transformed. What you need is a very thoughtful upper eyelid reconstruction with a low new crease at 6 or 7 mm with a repair of the disinserting levator disinsertion. This is very similar to an anterior levator ptosis repair but you really do not need much of any ptosis repair, rather you need the tendon to have a strong attachment to the upper eyelid tarsus. The eyelid platform skin length is carefully adjusted to snug this skin to the new hard upper eyelid crease. The amount of post operative eyelid platform skin is not something that should be left to the discretion of the surgeon. You need to have an explicit conversation with your potential surgeon about the design of this. Currently this is not uniform but if there is too much eyelid platform exposure under the fold edge you will be very unhappy. Generally I recommend something in the 2.5 to 3 mm range so you have a place to hold make up. More than this begins to look excessive. With stabilization of the upper eyelid tendon, the eyebrows will relax and look for serene and relaxed which is understood as more youthful. I do think you could benefit from undereye filler-less is more. Only use Restylane for this location. It is a fussy service that is worth traveling for. If you are using a lash growth serum (Latisse, isopropyl cloprostenate, Jamaican castor bean oil) are harmful to the upper eyelid fat-please don't these products. Hope this helps.

Very Satisfied with Eyelid and Mid-Face Surgeries

I recently underwent lower eyelid reconstructions and mid-face surgery with Kenneth Steinsapir, M.D., a Beverly Hills, world-renowned oculoplastic surgeon. I cannot say enough positive things about the entire experience. I am extremely satisfied with the results thus far and am impressed with the precision, thoroughness, and passion of Dr. Steinsapir and his team in treating me. They have exceeded my expectations in every aspect of the consultation, surgery and after-care that I have received.

I sought out Dr. Steinsapir after a botched canthoplasty surgery last year by a different surgeon that left me with eyelashes painfully growing into my corneas, numerous granulomas in my eyelids and redundant skin at the outer edges of my eyes which made me look decades older. I had a consultation in which Dr. Steinsapir analyzed the problems with my prior surgery and presented a solution for me to consider. He also identified another issue with my mid-face, which was that my facial implants (from another prior surgery) were poorly positioned in the sub-malar region, making me look older and tired. He recommended lower eyelid reconstruction to address the botched canthoplasty and replacing the old implants with new custom Gore-Tex implants. During surgery, he hand carved the implants to match each side of the face and orbital rim, so that the cheek sits in a more natural position and my eyes close and feel more comfortable. I am extremely happy that I took Dr. Steinsapir’s recommendations because the results, even at this early stage, are phenomenal.

My eyes look and feel healthier and the implants in their new positions make me look years younger. It will take time – several months minimum – to see the full results of this surgery. (Anyone who thinks that they can assess the results of eyelid surgery immediately is not well-informed and does not understand the healing process– recovery takes time!) But an initial look at my eyes and face is already far superior to what I had before the surgery.

Dr. Steinsapir’s team, and Faith Gomberg in particular, are caring, thorough and completely patient-centric. I have been treated by many physicians’ offices but never have I experienced the level of personal service, attention to detail and quality control that Faith exercises. She is a professional’s professional, who is not only supremely competent but also is a genuinely caring individual whose love for her work and the patients she serves is incomparable. I can only aspire to be as good as Faith is in my own work – she sets the bar that high.

If you are contemplating oculoplastic surgery or mid-face surgery, I strongly recommend that you consult with Dr. Steinsapir. This is especially true if you have already had a surgery that was performed by someone who does not understand eyelid surgery, its anatomy, and did not achieve a positive outcome as you were promised, which is unfortunately most plastic surgeons. I do not think that there is anyone better than Dr. Steinsapir at oculoplastic and mid-face surgery nor has anyone assembled a team of medical and patient care professionals that are as good as Dr. Steinsapir’s team. I will be posting photos as my recovery progresses so you may see the results and realize that this review is based on results and not emotions or feelings. I have been through several poorly executed plastic surgeries and if you have as well you know how disappointing and devastating that can be. I am confident that your experience with Dr. Steinsapir will leave you more than satisfied with the process and the results will be the best possible.

Hyaluronic acid filler treatments should make you look better not different.

My patient came to me after an unsatisfactory hyaluronic acid filler treatment performed by another doctor with a good reputation. What was wrong with the service is that a low G prime filler was used. These fillers are euphemistically called “smooth” by marketers. What they really are is “runny.” Treatment that was placed high in her cheek drifted after treatment to fill her lower cheek. It made her look older not better. I removed that treatment with an enzyme called hyaluronidase. The face was allowed to rest and 2 weeks later she returned to have Restylane placed in her under eye circles. The result is a much more youthful, happier face.
