Hollywood Dermatology offers several cosmetic surgery options to refresh your appearance in addition to our skin treatments. Our board-certified dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons bring precision to every procedure at Hollywood Dermatology.
With five locations across Hollywood, Pembroke Pines, Hallandale, West Miramar, and Doral, Florida, we’re proud to serve you with trusted care.
Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)
If your eyes look tired even when you’re well-rested, sagging lids or puffiness may be to blame. Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, helps tighten the skin around the upper and lower eyelids, giving your eyes a more alert appearance. It can also improve peripheral vision in cases where excess skin interferes with sight.
This procedure can also help reduce under-eye bags or lift droopy lids that have changed with age. Recovery is usually quick, and we’ll talk with you about whether upper, lower, or both eyelids should be treated based on your goals.
Fat Transfer
Fat transfer is a great option if you want more volume without implants or synthetic fillers. It uses fat from areas like your abdomen or thighs to add natural contour to your face, breasts, or buttocks.
The fat is gently removed, purified, and re-injected where it’s needed most. Just keep in mind that results can vary depending on the area and how your body holds onto the fat over time.
Tumescent Liposuction
Tumescent liposuction is a low-risk way to remove unwanted fat with minimal downtime. It works by injecting a diluted local anesthetic into the treatment area, which firms the tissue and makes the fat easier to remove.
Because this procedure often avoids general anesthesia, many people find the experience more comfortable. Using smaller tools called microcannulas, we’re able to create more even results. Mild swelling or drainage is common at first, but most people recover quickly.
Earlobe Repair
Stretched or damaged earlobes are a common concern, especially for those who’ve worn heavy earrings or had an accidental pull. Earlobe repair is a simple procedure that reshapes your ear using local anesthesia. Once healed, most people can safely re-pierce their ears if they choose.
Post-Surgery Care Tips
After surgery, it’s important to follow care instructions closely. This may include limiting activity, avoiding strenuous workouts, wearing compression garments if recommended, and keeping the treatment area clean and protected as it heals.
Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are common after most surgical treatments and typically improve within the first week.
Here’s what to expect during recovery for each of the procedures we offer.
Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)
Healing after eyelid surgery generally includes the following steps:
- Returning to work within seven to ten days
- Using cold compresses to reduce swelling during the first few days
- Sleeping with your head elevated to minimize puffiness
- Avoiding eye makeup and contact lenses until fully healed
Fat Transfer
To help your body retain the transferred fat and support natural-looking results:
- Avoid pressure on the treated area, especially if fat was injected into the face or buttocks
- Wear compression garments if liposuction was used to collect the fat
- Eat a nutrient-rich diet and stay well hydrated to support healing
Tumescent Liposuction
A smooth recovery after tumescent liposuction often looks like this:
- Resuming light activity within two to three days
- Wearing compression garments to support shaping and reduce swelling
- Managing drainage or fluid at incision sites, which usually resolves within a few days
Earlobe Repair
To protect your results and promote proper healing after earlobe repair:
- Expect minor soreness during the first couple of days
- Wait six to eight weeks before re-piercing the ear
- Avoid wearing heavy earrings in the future
Risks and Safety of Cosmetic Surgery
While cosmetic procedures are generally safe when performed by qualified professionals, every surgery carries some risk. These might include infection, scarring, or changes in sensation. Our team takes every precaution to minimize complications and will explain all risks in detail before moving forward.

FAQs
How Do I Know If I Am a Good Candidate for Cosmetic Surgery?
During your consultation, we’ll review your health, goals, and what you hope to change. Most good candidates:
- Are in good health
- Don’t smoke or are willing to stop temporarily
- Have realistic expectations about results
- Are making the decision for personal reasons
Are There Non-surgical Alternatives to Cosmetic Surgery Available?
Yes, for some procedures. Fillers, lasers, and other non-surgical treatments can be good alternatives for facial volume loss or mild skin laxity. Non-surgical fat reduction methods like CoolSculpting may also help in place of liposuction for small areas.
However, not all surgeries have non-surgical substitutes, such as earlobe repair, or when excess skin needs to be removed from the eyelid.
What Is the Cost, and What Are My Financing Options?
Cosmetic surgery is an investment in yourself. Costs vary depending on the procedure and treatment plan, and we’ll go over pricing during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect.
For added flexibility, we offer Allē Payment Plans, powered by Cherry, which allow you to spread out payments over time with no hidden fees.
