Very natural look after quad blepharoplasty.  Approaching my 50s I have decided to finally take care of my eye bags that have been bothering me for years. I have naturally heavy eyelids but with age the issue has become more and more visible. I live in Toronto and I have been scouting local plastic surgeons but I was not convinced by any of them and I was surprised by the high quotes I have received for a quad blepharoplasty. One of my goals was obviously to find a surgeon with lot of expertise in eyes surgery. So I have expanded my search to include the US and I finally picked Dr Taban. I had a first consultation by Skype and I was confident that he would be the right choice for me. … his approach seemed conservative enough and was meeting my expectations in term of keeping a natural look, without going too extreme to avoid hollow eyes or feminine look. I booked my surgery and flew to LA. The surgery was done with local anesthesia. … Surgery went well. The usual swelling and bruises but I was able to attend an important meeting exactly 9 days after the surgery without anyone noticing and with the help of a good concealer. Result is completely meeting my expectation. Natural, no visible scar, the shape of my eyes is intact, just a refreshed , bagless look. … I would definitely recommend Dr Taban to my friends and in fact I did. One of my close friend will get a quad done in a couple of months. Dr Taban is not extravert but responded to all my questions and has very good bedside manners. He is also following up very quickly to questions by email. If you are looking for an eye specialist, Dr Taban is the right surgeon.

Great experience before, during, and after my surgery!  I was looking for a Doctor to perform Lower eyelid retraction surgery. I found Dr. Taban on Realself.com … I live in New Mexico, which was not a problem. The Skype consultation was a great experience and I knew right after that Dr. Taban was the best choice for my surgery. He made me feel very comfortable and answered any questions or concerns I had. Upon meeting him the day before surgery, … I was able to schedule my surgery on a Friday afternoon and then my post op the following Monday, which was very accommodating for my travel plans. During recovery, I had several questions and he always responded in a timely matter … My results are a big difference from before and that is all thanks to a very skilled and knowledgeable surgeon, Dr. Taban. I would absolutely recommend his services to family, friends, or anyone looking for a great oculoplastic surgeon.

I had a procedure to remove excess skin on my upper eye lids and below my eyes, with fat repositioning to the hollow areas below my eyes (upper and lower Bleparoplasty). As I was an out-of-town client (from Seattle), Dr Taban and his office, Tasha and Zaira, communicated via email with very friendly and timely responses and detailed information.  I also had a skype consultation with Dr Taban prior to the procedure. Dr Taban and Tasha made me feel very comfortable and made the in-office procedure a hassle free experience. ….I also had my very first filler and botox injections that same day – not pain free, but I felt very comfortable with Dr Taban’s professional advice and abilities. The results are beyond amazing!!!  I am very, very happy with everything that I had done. I am glad I chose Dr Taban to work on such a delicate and important part of me. Definitely worth traveling from Seattle to LA to see him and his team.

Dr. Taban performed bilateral orbital decompression for my TED in August, 2016. It’s been more than 6 months since the surgery and my eyes have completely recovered and the scars from incisions were barely visible. I can say with confidence that he is THE best and the go-to doctor for this type of surgery. I was an out of town patient (thousands of miles away) … Dr. Taban is extremely talented, yet so humble … I can’t express my thankfulness enough to Dr. Taban and his staff … He is a gifted doctor …

Dr Taban literally gave me my life back, today was the first day I’ve left my house without sunglasses and I haven’t felt this normal in a long time.

He conducted an orbital reconstruction with orbital implant, and this was combined with sinus surgery. … so thankful for the amazing results!

After being diagnosed with a basal cell skin cancer on my eyelid, Dr Taban was referred via my dermatologist. The day of my reconstruction he presented me with multiple options and pros and cons … We didn’t know how skin was going to be removed from my eyelid until I had my cancer removed the day before his surgery to reconstruct it. He’s a great surgeon and you cannot even tell that I had half a dime-sized piece of skin cut off my eyelid…

Dr Taban Is an extremely skilled & talented doctor. He corrected my ptosis in one eye perfectly. I was previously told by another highly rated doctor that he wouldn’t try to fix it because it was too mild and was concerned about over correcting. I am so happy I found Dr Taban. My eyes are now perfect! I highly recommended him.

After doing research and reviewing multiple doctors online I came across Dr Taban. After having a consultation with him in regards to a ptosis issue and cosmetic issues , I knew immediately that he would be the doctor for me. … He is a highly competent physician … The surgery and recovery went well …I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dr. Taban to anyone who is questioning whether or not to get surgery since he will answer all of your questions and will reassure you. The results are great and I would recommend him to anyone!

Will never go anywhere else to get my Botox/Filler. It’s hard to find a good doctor that you can trust with your face, the last thing you want to have is the look like you’ve had work done. Dr. Taban is AMAZING at what he does!

I visited Dr. Taban to receive Botox. … He knows the perfect spots to put the Botox so your brows dont slump. As well as where to put it to make your eyes look open, alive, and youthful. … Over in a flash and now I’m looking better than ever. Thank you so much …

Thanks to Dr. Taban I’ve been using injectables for the past couple of years with complete confidence in his expertise & skills! Dr. Taban pays attention to detail and on his patients having a “natural look.” My skin has a fuller & brighter appearance with the added benefit of reduced lines and wrinkles (-:

I’ve been seeing Dr Taban twice a year for 2 years for Botox to deal with my deep squint lines (from a lifetime in the sun) which made me look like I was frowning and/or angry when I wasn’t. Dr Taban expertly and successfully takes care of this for me. I’m extremely satisfied. I like his gentle, low-key manner. I especially appreciate that he listens to what I want and doesn’t try to talk me into other procedures.

Dr. Taban is efficient, timely, kind and the best in the field of ocular plastic surgery. He repaired my left eye, … inserted a gold ball in the my left eyelid and raised my left eyebrow. So, now I can open and close my left eye. Wonderful

I recently had a procedure done on my left eye with Dr Taban. I cannot express how amazing he and his staff are. I had a tumor under my left eyelid … Thanks for everything Dr Taban!

Dr. Taban completed an Endo DCR on my right lacrimal duct on Friday 4/13/12. Yes Friday the 13th! …This turned a page in my life. My wife and I are so happy now. …THANKS DR. TABAN! …

I needed surgery (DCR) as I had tear duct obstructions …I visited 4 doctors in total before selecting Dr. Taban. …Dr. Taban performs endoscopic DCRs. … I am happy to report that after 7 months, the procedure with Dr. Taban is still a success! …Thank you, Dr. Taban, for letting me wear eye makeup once again!

My experience with Dr Taban was truly 5 stars. I was suffering from a worsening stye… Dr Taban resolve this issue for me. This was done same visit and painlessly. … Thank you the Taban team.

I was referred to Dr. Taban by my ER doc from Venice Urgent Care. … I had a stye (first of this magnitude) on my left eye that would NOT stop growing. … Dr.Taban has an excellent bedside manor. He calmly explained what he would be doing, … I don’t know if my body felt bad that I was on vacation or Dr. Taban is a miracle worker, but I am still shocked how quickly I healed. … Bottom line if I would trust this man with ANYTHING related to my eyes. …

I ended up with an Eye Stye for the first time in my life, and it affected my vision. Dr. Taban fit me in the same day that I called for an appointment and surgically removed it with no scar. He is a great surgeon and I would highly recommend him for any eye surgery.

Dr. Taban was fantastic. I haven’t been sick in years and then all of a sudden got a chalazion from stress and lack of sleep at work… I had it for 4 weeks and finally needed to do something about it before I left for a wedding in India. His staff was the nicest, accommodating, fit me in to do outpatient procedure and I’m a happy camper… Thank you Dr. Taban …

Excellent consultation and results. I came to Dr. Taban to reverse results of a bad blepharoplasty performed by a well-known and highly respected S CA cosmetic surgeon. Rather than the minor adjustment that I wanted, the surgery left me with sunken upper eyelids that caused me to look older rather than younger, and rendered a somewhat angry look at rest. It was a disaster. I believe that the underlying problem was a surgeon performing procedures without the requisite special skills and knowledge of oculoplastics and aesthetic procedures. In contrast, Dr. Taban is indeed such a specialist. In addition, he is a person with excellent communication skills and compassionate sensibilities. He carefully examined me and described the multiple options, their pros and cons. He recommended filler injections with a specific material, applied in two steps, which I accepted. The procedure was completed in about 15 minutes with no numbing and without any significant discomfort at all. I am delighted with the results of the first procedure and scheduled my second pass the day after. I am extremely happy to have found Dr. Taban and confident that he will provide the best practical end result. I give Dr. Taban my highest recommendation.

For a long time I was bothered by my under eye dark circles…. I recommend eyelid filler injection for under eye dark circles and I recommend Dr Taban.

I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Taban, he really is the best at what he does! I saw him for under eye fillers to correct the sunken/hollowness. I didn’t want to go to a medspa for this because I wanted expert experience, this is my face we’re talking about! He was so precise and meticulous with the placement of the filler (Restylane), which made me feel very comfortable and confident that the result would be great. I’m very fair skinned and bruise easily and not to mention the skin under my eyes is very thin, and no bruising! Very minimal swelling, I am beyond happy with my results! I will most certainly go to him again! Will refer friends and family because he really is wonderful!… Dr. Taban has great bedside manner, very calm and gentle through the procedure, never tried to upsell me anything else, unlike other Beverly Hills plastic surgeons. Thank you so much!

My experience with Dr. Taban was beyond what I expect with a doctor, let alone a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon. At 34, and being a very vain person (admittedly), I noticed some slight aging and hollowness around my eye area, and had looked into PRP & dermal fillers under the eye to restore lost volume. After postponing for MONTHS, and after multiple consults with other doctors, I decided on Dr. Taban for Belotero in the tear trough. Dr. Taban spoke to me several times via email and phone PRIOR to my first appointment, to ease my fears and answer all my questions — no other doctor in the area would even get on the phone with me (or any patient) until they were paid a consult fee. I was stunned that this doctor emailed me back so quickly, even before I was a patient. The procedure itself was great and painless … and my under-eyes look AMAZING. It took maybe 30 minutes, tops. Restored volume under the eyes and I look 24 again ! It’s amazing what a small tweak can do to the face to restore youthfulness – and a nurse, I do not advocate over-done plastic surgery. In fact, they KEY to any good cosmetic procedures is to look at someone, and never know they’ve had something done. My eyes have always been my thing, the defining feature on my face and the feature I get the most compliments on … so I am very picky about what I put on/near them, or what products I use on them. Definitely blown away, and definitely worth every dime!

If you are looking for a surgeon whose oculoplastic knowledge is encyclopedic, treats his patients with respect, and takes the time to be caring, then Dr. Taban is someone you should consider visiting. I am beyond impressed with my experience and results. … Dr. Taban injected fillers under my eyes to treat the hollowness and appearance of dark circles…

My inherited deep under eye troughs have always made me look tired. … researched doctors who could fill my under eye troughs. …I am very happy with the work that Dr. Taban did .. Go see Dr. Taban!!

Dr. Taban changed my life forever and that’s not my making me look young because I am actually very young 33 however I have suffered from droopy upper eyelids for the past 4/5 years. I often get asked if I don’t get enough sleep! I always looked tired and was starting to look ill, … Dr. Taban changed the look of my droopy upper lids with Belotero filler injections, … Now I look better than when I was 25. Friends and family were amazed by the way I looked but couldn’t not pinpoint what I had done… I thank Gd everyday for the work of Dr. Taban, … Over the months, I’ve referred many family and friends to him …

At my consultation, Dr. Taban answered all my (and my fiance’s) questions, … He was very tactful and suggested a comprehensive plan based only on concerns I mentioned, and did not address a specific issue unless I brought it up. For now, I went ahead with under eye fillers only and the whole procedure was quick and painless!! I was nervous for nothing. Now I look like I’m 24 again, and am very pleased with the result.

I have been a patient of Dr. Taban for over 4 years now … I had been seeing him for botox but I had dark circles/hollowness under my eyes that I wanted to address. .. (I had Restylane filler under eyes by Dr. Taban)… I was extremely happy with my results: I didn’t bruise, had minimal swelling and saw a difference immediately! Dr. Taban is always professional, confident and honest about the results he can deliver …. He is an expert and I highly, highly recommend him.

Recently had filler done in the tear trough area on both eyes by Dr Taban. …. I had gone to 4 consultations before deciding on Dr. Taban. He is very knowledgable and his demeanor is very calm, which put me at ease during the consult and the actual appt. I never felt rushed … Dr. Taban also gave me a follow-up call the next morning to see how I was doing. … Very happy with the results…

A picture says a thousand words. Dr. Taban is not only a brilliantly skilled, knowledgeable and gifted surgeon, he is genuinely kind and compassionate. … I underwent revision eyelid ptosis, blepharoplasty, brow lift, fat injections and filler injections. My procedure was done under a local anesthesia. … Dr. Taban went above and beyond to ensure this surgery was done properly and complete. I stayed at a hotel after the surgery. I was given antibiotics and pain killers. However, I did not need or use the pain killers, I had very little pain. My recover time was very quick. Dr. Taban called and texted me to check on me. Very comforting to know your surgeon is taking the time to check on you during your recovery!!! It has only been 5 months since my surgery and the results are astounding. I lived with my left eye closed and facial dropping for 4 1/2 years. I had a surgery on my eye about 2 years ago that was not successful. The results show what a skillful surgeon Dr. Taban truly is. I highly recommend him … Dr. Taban, A thank you does not even come close to letting you know how thankful I am!!! You not only restored my eye and my looks, but you restored my spirit for life. I can look in the mirror every morning with a smile!! Truly, thank you for caring!!!

I cannot recommend Dr. Taban enough. He is a truly gifted and kind surgeon, who goes above and beyond…. my daughter badly lacerated her upper and lower eyelid, along with her tear duct in one eye … Not only did he repair my daughter’s eyelids and tear duct perfectly, but his sutures were so delicate that within a month, there was no telling that my daughter even had any surgery. …
… the result astonishing. … Dr Taban is truly an artist with a scalpel. …

My experience with Dr. Taban and his staff was remarkable. I flew across country for my surgery and they helped with every detail. I had upper and lower blephoroplasty as well as bilateral brow lift and my eyes look amazing!! Dr. Taban was up front about what would or wouldn’t look natural and I couldn’t ask for better results and follow up. He called personally to check on me post surgery.

Dr. Taban is a perfectionist committed to excellence. … Dr. Taban is the only clinician who “got it right”. … He corrected my one sagging brow, did fat injections, and did upper and lower eye lids. I am thrilled with the result! Honestly, these procedures have turned back the hands of time at least 10-15 years! The look is so natural, and I feel happy beyond words!

First let me say that my eyes look 20 years younger and completely natural (after upper/lower blepharoplasty and bilateral brow lift). Dr. Taban did an amazing job. He and his staff were so very helpful in every detail of my surgery. He personally spent time with me answering questions – both before and after surgery. I am very happy with my experience and the results.

Great experience before, during, and after Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty and Pretrichial Eyebrow Lift. Dr. Taban is truly a professional and creates amazing results. I would recommend him to anyone. I am 51 years old and have had heavy eyelids for as long as I can remember. … I am extremely happy with my results. My eyes look very natural, more rested, and no bags under my eyes.

After researching oculoplastic surgeons to repair a sunken eye following a orbital floor fracture I decided on Dr. Taban. I came from Canada … He rebuilt the orbit with an orbital implant …The results are outstanding. …Thank you so much Dr. Taban!!!

I don’t know where to begin, but I want to get straight to the point. Dr. Taban is a phenomenal surgeon and I couldn’t be more happy I chose him to repair my orbital fractures. …

Extremely knowledgeable and incredibly skilled! Dr. Taban is a truly amazing oculoplastic surgeon, he quickly diagnosed me with a sunken eye (enophthalmos) from Silent Sinus Syndrome and worked closely with me throughout my surgery and aftercare. … I would not trust my eyes with anyone else! He conducted an orbital reconstruction with orbital implant, and this was combined with sinus surgery. Had a wonderful experience and am so thankful for the amazing results!!!

My one year old son fell on a hook last week and tore his eyelid open. I immediately took him to his pediatrician who told us that our son will need stitches by a specialist. He referred us to Dr. Taban. … I was a wreck and called Dr. Taban’s office right away, and his assistant immediately squeezed us in. When we arrived, he promptly saw us and with a calm demeanor, he kept us at ease. He agreed with our pediatrician that our son needed stitches, and since he’s so young we would need to do it at a hospital/surgery center as he needs to be put under anesthesia. As a first time mom, I was very afraid. He kept me calm and assured me that everything will be fine. … The surgery went perfectly as he told us it would, and he followed through after the surgery with check-ups. Since then, my son’s eye has healed quickly. There is no scar and the minimal bruising that he had faded after 4 days(which is normal). I am really happy that we chose Dr. Taban. He was kind, gentle, smart, and very professional. I highly recommend him!

Dr Taban was a “Ray” of Hope! My family and I were hit by a wrong side driver while on a family vacation out of country. I had an emergency Orbital Reconstruction and when I returned to the States, continued to see doctors for double vision. Not much improvement for months and I was getting desperate, resigned to a life of double vision, losing hope. My brother heard of Dr. Taban and he sent me his information. I was out of state, so we set up a Skype consultation to get a second opinion… Dr. Taban was thorough, he took the time to look at me, listen to me and explain my condition. He knew exactly how to fix it! After speaking with him, there was no doubt in my mind that Dr. Taban was the doctor who could help me. …. Dr. Taban genuinely cared about me and about helping me get better. Dr. Taban was a God send when I was losing all hope. Thank you Dr. Taban!

I was referred to Dr. Taban for squamous cell skin cancer surgery repair of the lower eyelid. The procedure involved taking a slice of skin from the upper eyelid and grafting it onto the lower lid…so I was a bit nervous about the outcome, and just hoped for a “normal” looking eye. Well, I’ve healed (very quickly!) and I am beyond happy with the results! My eye looks amazing.. Friends and family cannot tell that I had any surgery at all;) Thank you Dr. Taban!

I am so satisfied with Dr. Ray Taban’s delicate care and would definitely trust him with anything … I had a basal cell carcinoma and after getting it removed, needed eyelid surgery… I went to Dr. Taban and he was very happy with my results. …

I wanted to thank Dr. Taban from the bottom of my heart for fixing an upper eyelid surgery gone terribly wrong, performed by another surgeon. Here is my story: I had my original upper blepharoplasty performed in March 2015 with devastating results. Not only were my eyelids completely asymmetric after the surgery, but I had severe pain in the inner corners of my eyes …. The scars were very think and inflamed and created a band like pull towards the inner part of the eye, directionally towards the nose. I was told that I just have bad healing, and hypertrophic scarring by the original surgeon. As you can imagine I was devastated. I am very conservative, and have thought about this surgery for years. For me it worsened the aesthetic look of my eyelids, … it totally distorted how I looked in general with these bands in my eyes. I felt very insecure, and didn’t want to be out in public anymore. It’s hard to hide your eyes on a constant basis.

… What happened to me is called canthal webbing, which requires epicanthoplasty. I’m eternally grateful that I found Dr. Taban who is a very skilled surgeon, especially with revision surgeries. From the moment I visited him I felt in good hands. …He is extremely knowledgeable about difficult cases, and makes one feel at ease. …. In April 2016 I had my revision surgery with Dr. Taban. The surgery and recovery were much better than the first time. I am more than pleased with the outcome. I truly thought that I could never look the same like I did before I had the first surgery. And now I do! I recognize myself in the mirror again and I don’t have to hide my eyes. Dr. Taban gave me back my self-confidence. I will be forever grateful. Don’t hesitate to have Dr. Taban be your surgeon. He is a true artist!

I was suffering from lower eyelid retraction ever since I had a bad blepharoplasty several years ago. … Thankfully I found Dr. Taban on the Internet and after a consultation with him I scheduled an appointment for a retraction repair surgery that would use skin grafts from my upper eyelids to fix the retraction. Now several months after the surgery I’m very happy with the results. Both lower eyelids are raised and the scars from the skin grafts are pretty much invisible. The color match of the skin grafts from my upper eyelids are great so they blend into the lower eyelids very well. I am glad that I picked Dr. Taban as my surgeon.

I had eyelid surgery with Dr. Ray Taban …Droopy eyelid surgery (ptosis); Eyelid retraction; Canthoplasty; Revisional eyelid surgery; Fat Injection for sunken hollow eyes. I had previous eyelid surgery that was done incorrectly. Dr. Taban had to work on all four of my eyelids (upper and lower on both eyes) and do something with each in order to bring the eyes back to their original shape. He did an excellent job. They are both almond shaped again, …I am very very happy with the result. Dr. Taban is very kind and is a master at his craft. I highly recommend him to you – if he can do for me what he did in fixing a previously failed surgery that I did with a different surgeon, then he can certainly make your eyes beautiful and youthful. …

… repair my lower eyelid that was stretched and damaged from a surgery I had when I was 17. … Dr. Taban, … earned my trust. The results are amazing and trusting Dr. Taban was one of the best decisions I ever made.

The doctor I went to see for my eyes surgery did a terrible job, he took too much skin on upper and lower eyes lid, … I went to see dr Taban, He was my last chance, looking at my eyes he knew right away what I need it. I had 2 surgeries with him and I am so happy, …

Dr Taban literally gave me my life back, today was the first day I’ve left my house without sunglasses and I haven’t felt this normal in a long time. I have been to a handful of surgeons, one in the UK, and two in the USA, they have only made my problem worse. …For anyone who’s going through something similar, I wish for you to never lose hope, and travel to LA if you must, because it’s definitely worth the journey.

I want to say a Big Thank to Dr. Taban, he just made a magical performance on my eyes! My eyes … never were that much beautiful like now!!! I am so happy,!!!I really was so skeptical at the beginning but now I understand that this doctor just deserves more words to say!!! Very professional, magical doctor! Thank you so much!

Dr Taban gave me my life back. He corrected a surgery that I had years ago in the Netherlands and completely devastated me (retraction lower eye lids). It was a long journey, went to so many doctors in Europe and none of them could help me … I had a revision of the lower lids retraction and ptosis correction with orbital decompression by Dr Taban. I still cannot believe it when I look in the mirror… Dr Taban is a wonderful skilled doctor, the best.

If you are searching for an Oculoplastic Surgeon to correct a botched blepharoplasty then look no further than Dr. Ray Taban. My story is long and quite complicated… I had the correctional surgery by Dr Taban and I love it! I can’t even begin to tell you how grateful I am to have found Dr. Taban. He is an amazing Oculoplastic surgeon who is a true artist and his scalpel is a wand… Dr. Taban is a genius… I am absolutely thrilled with the results and interestingly not only are my eyes repaired, I think they look more attractive than before my first surgery. … Bottom-line- Dr. Taban is nothing less than outstanding! I am so grateful that I found him and now every time I look into the mirror I smile and I guarantee if you elect to have surgery with Dr. Taban you will be smiling as well.

Dr Taban is genius at fixing lower eyelid complications. My lower eyelids were destroyed by a very prominent Great Neck plastic surgeon. I suffered severe lower eyelid retraction and bilateral ectropion … I was forced to tape my lower eyelids up day and night for 2 years while the original surgeon tried various ways to correct his bad work. I finally reached a point where I knew it would take a miracle… After being told by various oculoplastic surgeons that there was nothing that could be done … I flew out to Los Angeles… To make a long story short Dr. Taban performed the impossible. … I have no doubt that Dr. Taban is the #1 oculoplastic surgeon in the world because of the absolutely stunning work he did… I should also point out that Dr. Tabans aesthetic work around the eyes is also second to none. … Quite simply put, he is the best there is!

I had severe lower eyelid retraction caused by a prior fat re-positioning surgery last year in another country. I felt hopeless and very depressed because of my look and because I knew that it’s gonna be very difficult to fix the damage. After talking with 3 other oculoplastic surgeons I chose Dr. Taban… I had reconstructive lower eyelid retraction surgery with spacer graft and canthoplasty 4 months ago and finally I started to look like my old self again. Thank you Dr. Taban.

I have a left eyelid ptosis , my left lid was super droopy and muscle is week, i did 2 unsuccessful surgeries with two different doctors to lift it, and nothing changed, i think after second one my eyelid curvve was actually worst. I found Dr. Taban myself, and decided to do the third surgery with him. … I am really happy with my results . I can see the difference from before and also now my lid is more lifted, and curve is better. He did a different method than others…

I am a 25 year old male who went to Dr. Taban seeking cosmetic improvement of my eyes and midface. My lower eyelids were fairly droopy …with lots of “scleral show”. … I decided to proceed with orbital/malar implants w/midface lift, and raising of the lower eyelids through his retractor “lysis” and graft method. … The aesthetic improvement my face attained is profound. …

Young Patient, Very Pleased with Tear Through Implants and Lower Eyelid Retraction Surgery. Ever since I was a kid I have had these deep dark hollows under my eyes, droopy lower eyelids, and big fat cheeks that swallowed my eyes the second I smiled. I was very insecure about my looks because of this. After a year of consulting with the “best” (arrogant and over confident in their abilities) oculplastic surgeons Los Angles had to offer, I eventually got fed up and even more insecure. I’d heard wonders about these very renowned surgeons… I would wait 2 months for a consultation that would set me back around $200 each time, only to look through their in-office before and after books and be horrified by patients with overstuffed cheeks, zero contours between orbital rim and mid-face, and over corrected eyes. These same doctors would try to up sell me on every procedure they offer, or just dismiss me offering me nothing more than fillers. Luckily, I stumbled upon Doctor Taban’s office, which was a breathe of fresh air. From the moment I walked into Dr. Taban’s office, I was warmly welcomed by his lovely receptionist Zira who always made my family and I completely comfortable. Dr. Taban himself could tell exactly what I need from the second he examined me. We soon decided on tear-through implants for the hollowed under eyes, lower eyelid retraction surgery for excess white show, and a soof lift to correct the shelf like contour when I smiled and to also cover any implant contours… Day of surgery I had zero anxiety. Dr. Taban at this point was like family. He made me feel so comfortable, … The surgery went exactly as planned, as well as the recovery. There were only a couple minor hiccups. I strained my eyes too much the day after surgery causing a stitch to come loose. I was worried late at night and texted dr. Taban, he immediately facetimed me from home and asked me to come in the next day (his day off.) He opened the medical plaza just for me and patiently took care of me. Throughout the whole experience I surprisingly had little pain and was off painkillers in a matter of days. … I had put off surgery for months waiting for a free block in my schedule because I was worried about having an over corrected look. I looked okay by a week post-op, … I was pleased with my results and felt amazingly confident by my 2 week post-op appointment. … I am so pleased with my results! I showed him pictures of the eyes I had in mind and he was absolutely confident in his ability and he certainly delivered!…

Dr Taban is a miracle worker with Almond Eye Surgery and Ptosis Repair. … I honestly cannot express enough gratitude to Dr. Taban for the miracle he pulled off with my eyes. … He is the only one you should ever entrust your eyes to for any procedure involving the eyes. … He is very humble and does not like over promising, but he certainly over delivers! … Almost 2 months later, my results are truly extraordinary and the scars on the side are not very visible at all. … My hope is that everyone who needs help can be helped by Dr. Taban.

Overall…… Excellent! I had a procedure …called “Ectropion Surgery” … I highly recommend My surgery was such success!……Thank You Again Dr. Taban

Sincerely your new patient,

If theres more than 5 star rating ,ill gonna rate Dr. Taban for the job well done for me. He brought back my confidence that was gone from the last 3 years.i was diagnosed with Graves Disease and affected my left eye. ….

Dr. Taban came highly rated by my initial facial surgeon at UCLA in Los Angeles. … I am very pleased. Dr. Taban performed a lower lid lift. … I recommend him highly.

Great experience before, during, and after my surgery! I was looking for a Doctor to perform Lower eyelid retraction surgery. I found Dr. Taban on Realself.com … I live in New Mexico, which was not a problem. The Skype consultation was a great experience and I knew right after that Dr. Taban was the best choice for my surgery. He made me feel very comfortable and answered any questions or concerns I had. Upon meeting him the day before surgery, … I was able to schedule my surgery on a Friday afternoon and then my post op the following Monday, which was very accommodating for my travel plans. During recovery, I had several questions and he always responded in a timely matter … My results are a big difference from before and that is all thanks to a very skilled and knowledgeable surgeon, Dr. Taban. I would absolutely recommend his services to family, friends, or anyone looking for a great oculoplastic surgeon.

Where do I begin!!? A few months ago I had a cosmetic orbital decompression surgery on my right eye with none the less, Dr. Taban and the experience was beyond amazing. … His hands work magic! My eye has never looked so great. I’m forever in debt to Dr. Taban and his staff! Definitely the best surgeon in town. I’m so grateful I chose him!

I used to have bulgy eyes before I did both orbital decompression and lower eyelid retraction with Dr. Taban, the results were so good and above my expectations actually. Healing time were almost for 9 days. felt a little bet pain right after the surgery when I was going back to the hotel with a nurse, and that’s it !! After that i was healing peacefully for 8 days. The swilling was dramatically reduced in the 3rd day then a small portion stayed there for a week. You can start walking alone on the 1st day after procedure. Its really worth it!!.

Since i was a child dealing with bulging eye problem,… Let me tell you my story a few months ago i had Orbital Decompression Surgery on my both eyes. … Dr. Taban, you are a Godsend and truly a great doctor. … You have my highest recommendation!

Sincerely,

Hiya Dr Taban! Thanks so much for the customized orbital decompression, Dr Taban! I’m pretty happy with the results. My eyes seem a lot more even now. … Also, the recovery went so smoothly. Dr Taban also has amazing bedside manners. He made me feel at ease during the surgery day. Best eye doctor ever.

Dr. Ray Taban is literally a miracle worker. Let me preface this review by saying I have extensive knowledge of soft tissue surgery and oral/maxillofacial surgery. … I know of many occuloplastic surgeons, maxillofacial surgeons, implant specialists, craniofacial surgeons, and so on. When it comes to the periorbital region (everything around the eyes) he IS the best in the world. … What Taban did was unbelievable. Through canthoplasty, tear trough implants (on the orbital rim), lower lid retraction, orbital decompression, and slight lowering of the upper eyelid (on the left eye), I now have hooded eyes (I am male; this was intended), a extreme sweeping effect, a high lateral canthus position, and a lower lid so high that it likely won’t descend for decades (and it looks great as well) Once again, he has performed beyond expectation, … I look so amazing I do not want anyone to know this was the result of surgery. I can live my life in bliss …

Dr. Taban & Orbital Decompression Surgery Changed My Life! – When I first noticed my eyes changing because of my Graves Eye Disease (or Thyroid Eye Disease), I was so depressed. …
… Dr. Taban is incredibly professional and a bit of a savant in his field. He has the unique balance of compassion and professionalism, …Thank you for giving me my confidence back Dr. Taban!

If there’s more than 5 star rating ,ill gonna rate Dr. Taban for the job well done for me. He brought back my confidence that was gone from the last 3 years. I was diagnosed with Graves Disease and affected my left eye. . My left eye was always dry, gritty, burning pain, and the worst, it was bulging leaving unsightly appearance (my eyes were not even, my right eye was not affected). I always cover my left eye with my hair coz i didn’t’ wanna see people staring on my eye.. More frustrating was when my Endocrinologist told me there’s no way it can be restored . Fast forward. , i started googling last month for oculoplastic surgeons, i followed my intuition plus all the positive reviews, i chose Dr . Taban . … i was amazed with the result . From first day post op , All the discomfort on my left eye i suffered from the last 3 year disappear ( gritty . redness, burning pain)And most of all if i am looking at the mirror ., i couldn’t believe my left eye was back to normal , i couldn’t even trace that bulgy looking eye i have for 3 years. Again there’s always hope, just consult with Dr. Taban , its worth it , If you have a case like me, I highly recommended Dr. Taban… Doc, thanks for your expertise, and to your staff, tasha and zaira thanks for your good customer service.

I was diagnosed with Graves’ Disease in 2007 … I had 2 other surgeons prior to meeting Dr. Taban… Dr. Taban did the orbital decompression on both of my eyes in 2010 and my eyelids retraction in 2011. … He made me look normal again. … I’m very grateful to Dr. Taban. He brought back my self-confidence.

It has been 3 weeks since I had ptosis and double eyelid surgery. And the results has been amazing, … … my experience with Dr. Taban has been such a blessing. Only wish I found him sooner!!! …

… I had ptosis and double eyelid surgery back in Septemeber of 2015. The results from the surgery is EXCELLENT, I could not be happier! Dr. Taban is incredible and a PHENOMENAL doctor. I literally tell everyone that I meet, who I feel will benefit from Dr. Taban’s expertise to go see him. I found Dr. Taban through a review he wrote on www.realself.com, where he mentioned horners syndrome, a condition that I have. (drooping upper eyelid, caused by damage to sympathetic nerves) I have always been super self-conscious about my eye (11 years !! all through my teenage years) and wore heavy eye makeup to cover the differences in my eyes. It has been a huge blow to my self-esteem and confidence level. I was told by my neurologist and confirmed on many websites that horners syndrome was incurable, until I came upon Dr. Taban’s review & website. After about 20 minutes of scrolling through his website and gallery ( which I must say gave me soooo much hope after seeing his gallery), I sent him an email to find out more about the surgery and whether my drooping upper eyelid can be fixed, and keep in mind this was past mid-night. Early next day I received an email personally from Dr. Taban answering all the questions I had, I proceeded to setup a consultation with his office. … I’ve never written a review in my life and I just to want to communicate to the fellow readers, after dealing with something that I never imagined could be corrected, my experience with Dr. Taban has been such a blessing. Only wish I found him sooner!!! Go for a consultation, put your trust in Dr. Taban he really is an incredible doctor and very much qualified in this field. Truly so grateful and happy with the experience and result!

I’m very satisfied with the results of the procedure performed by doctor Taban. The lower puffy eye bags and wrinkles were removed and the upper eyelids lifted. I would recommend Doctor Taban without hesitation …

After extensive research, I decided to go with Dr. Taban for my lower transconjunctival (inner incision) Blepharoplasty and I’m 100% happy with the results … I highly highly recommend Dr. Taban!!

Five star service! Why you ask? Dr. Taban is an oculoplastic surgeon (eye plastic surgeon). He saw my mom and performed surgery to remove the bags under her eyes. … You really get a feel for their compassionate care. … Thank you so much for taking care of my mom. With her new confidence, she’s even more beautiful!

My procedure was Lower Eyelid with Fat Re-positioning and Eye Bags removal. I found Dr. Taban on Real Self, and upon meeting him in person I realized that he was knowledgeable enough to know how to operate on my eyes. From the initial consultation, he made me feel very at ease, as he began to explain to me all my different options. He was not pushy or have an overly confident “know it all” attitude like most Beverly Hills doctors seemed to have, or even in Miami. I chose to have the actual surgery, not injections, the procedure done under local sedation with injections directly in the lower eyelid, under my eyelashes. Of course, he provided me with some painkillers prior to the injections, so I barely felt anything. The whole time I was awake, eyes open, super calm, and didnt feel a thing. He has GREAT hands!! The whole thing lasted about an hour and as soon as I was done my friend drove me home … Overall, I couldnt be happier with my results, and I do want to point out that Dr. Taban’s staff is very pleasant and helpful. I love them ! My eyes look natural and did not change the shape. The under eye bags are gone and I only wish I had done this procedure much sooner.

All I can say is WOW! Dr. … Dr. Taban removed the fat below his eyes and moved it to flatten out the hollow area above his cheek bone. …We could not be happier with the outcome.

Dr. Taban changed my life! He is the most compassionate and gentle doctor, and he helped me cure my biggest insecurity. I had the worst under eye bags, and I never knew it could be cured. When I visited him, he recommended lower blepharoplasty surgery. I underwent surgery, and couldn’t be happier with my results. He is truly the most amazing doctor I’ve ever been to, …. Everyday I wake up so grateful to have been treated by Dr.Taban! I can finally enjoy life now!

Dr. Taban from Los Angeles to whom I am very grateful for putting my eyelids back to its original stage. My eyelids and the whole around eye area has been destroyed by using awful eyelashes growth drops Lumigan prostaglandin with fat atrophy of around the eye area… It took me very long to sort this problem out, many mistakes on the way (fillers wrongly applied, etc.) … Dr. Taban, expert on any problematic issues with your eyes who was able to help me with my destroyed around the eyes area, for which I am very grateful to him …

I’m 38 years and have always taken care of my skin. Good genes have helped me look younger than my actual age. But the one thing that I’ve had since my late 20’s are under eye bags. Most of the time I looked tired even though I wasn’t. I got tired of looking tired. Even with 8 hours of sleep I still had bags. … I had lower blepharoplasty (by Dr Taban) awake with local anesthesia. I was really nervous about this but he was so good that honestly I didn’t feel anything. I’ve been so incredibly happy with the results. … My mom was also so happy with the results that she ended having the same procedure with him. …

You look so tired” I can’t tell you how many times in my life these words have been uttered to me. …start to feel insecure… I have never been interested in altering my face … Dr. Taban was straight to the point, gives you all the facts, and makes you feel very comfortable. … My number #1 worry was that my eye shape would change and he was very adamant that it would not, he was right … I was extremely nervous going into surgery (transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty) and in hindsight it was so easy. The procedure took about an hour but felt like 15 minutes. I was under local anesthesia and I couldn’t feel anything. Recovery was very fast. … took pain medication a few hours after surgery … My results have been fantastic. I look like myself but rested! … I 100% recommend.

Dr. Taban impressed me from consultation all the way through check up.  It is very clear from the start that he knows what he is doing and that you are in good hands.  I had fat pads with extra skin under my eyes that caused me to look tired and old…I felt so comfortable that I decided to do my upper lids also (besides lower blepharoplasty).  Friends and family tell me all the time what a difference it has made.  I feel more confident and am very glad that I did it…

I explained to Dr. Taban that I did not want to drastically change my appearance, but rather, I wanted to look refreshed … I’m so glad I did this because the procedure (upper and lower blepharoplasty) was pretty much painless… So far, I love the fact that I don’t see anymore bags and my upper lids are exactly how I wanted them to look! … …THANK YOU ….

Dr. Taban came highly recommended by a client of mine. … In the first a few minutes of the consultaion I was convinced that Dr. Taban is the real deal. …. I never felt a thing. Dr. Taban is genius, he’s also an artist which he has to, to do this amazing job. He doesn’t do the ‘surprise look’, his work is very natural, …

Dr. Taban and his team are very professional in the service they provide … I am very satisfied with my eyelid surgery, blepharoplasty procedure, … I highly recommend Dr. Taban to all my friends and family.

Dr. Taban is an excellent Oculoplastic surgeon. He did a super job on my eyelids uppers and lowers. …

I am so grateful and excided Dr. Taban  has given me the advise and confidence for the upper and lower blepharoplasty procedure.  The outcome is so remarkable my eyes look more refresh. Now I can continue on my retirement and not look tired. lol I can’t thank you enough Dr. Taban …

Dr Taban and his staff are wonderful. I had my upper and lower eyes done, June 2017. I was under local anesthesia. I was awake during surgery but didn’t feel any pain. The recovery was great. I had bruising and swelling for a few weeks but no pain. I was back to work in two weeks. I look refreshed and younger. I’m very glad I did the surgery. I would recommend Dr. Taban to my friends and family.

I went to Dr. Taban after searching for a surgeon who could offer some hope for correcting the results of an upper/lower bleph I’d had five years before. … Dr. Taban performed ptosis surgery, which made my eyes look subtly more alert and natural, and also used some filler under my eyes. I couldn’t be more pleased with the results or with the care I got. …

…I not only needed upper and lower eye lifts but also surgery to repair ptosis or droopy upper eyelids… During my initial consultation Dr. Taban fully explained the surgery to me and answered all my questions. …It is more than one month after my surgery now and the results are amazing… Dr. Taban is truly a miracle worker… THANK YOU Dr. Taban for the incredible job you did on my eye surgery!!! YOU’RE THE BEST!!!!!

Dr. Taban is *the* best oculoplastic surgeon you could entrust your eyes to. I first spoke to Dr. Taban via Skype while I was in Europe for two months. I wanted to have a consultation about one ptotic eye and skin removal (blepharoplasty) on the other and from the moment I talked to him I felt like I was in the right hands. He is extremely knowledgable, a leading scholar/publisher in the field, and a very caring and patient doctor. I decided shortly thereafter to schedule surgery (left eye ptosis and bilateral upper blepharoplasty) with him for July and I couldn’t be happier with that decision. He did an excellent job and my scars are really almost not visible, even in broad daylight due to his excellent technique. …

Dr. Taban and his staff are amazing! I went into his office for ptosis (droopy eyelid) …This office goes above and beyond most other doctors … They make you feel very comfortable … I highly recommend Dr. Taban and his whole crew!
