Reverse signs of aging with a variety of non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatments and techniques. Are you looking for the best facial plastic surgeon in the Scottsdale area?

At Arizona Oculoplastic Specialists, we offer a variety of cosmetic and reconstructive surgical procedures for the eyes and face - such as blepharoplasty, face lift, and eyelid surgery - to Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Mesa, Arizona patients. Our focus, however, is the plastic surgery of the eyelids, brows, eye sockets and lacrimal (tear) system.
Services
Dr. Ghafouri specializes in ophthalmic facial plastic and reconstructive surgery in Arizona. As an oculoplastic surgeon, Dr. Ghafouri has extensive experience and expertise in plastic surgery of the eyelids, orbit, tear drainage, and skin cancer reconstruction.

He has a special interest in minimally invasive aesthetic facial procedures, including cosmetic eyelid lift, endoscopic forehead and mid-face lift, laser facial rejuvenation, Botox injections and a variety of dermal fillers.Dr. Ghafouri received his Bachelor of Science and medical degrees from Michigan State University, graduating with high honors.
After being disfigured by a cosmetic surgeon 8 years ago, followed by 6 revisions from 3 different surgeons, I had given up hope of ever looking normal. I was also turned down by several surgeons, as lower lid margin corrections "are problematic, " as I was told repeatedly. Dr. Ghafouri was confident he could improve my disfigurement.
The result of aging is inevitable: As our skin gradually loses elastin and collagen, it starts to sag, and wrinkles start to form. Over time, our everyday facial expressions (like smiling and frowning) create fine lines, wrinkles and even deep folds on our face.

While there are many procedures for facial rejuvenation that can help a person achieve a smoother and more youthful-looking appearance, some people don't wish to pursue surgery to get rid of their wrinkles.Many of these people opt for non-surgical "injectable" alternatives, such as Botox. Botox (short for botulinum toxin) is an FDA-approved injectable substance made from a protein that occurs naturally in the body.
As our skin loses elasticity and becomes susceptible to the pull of gravity, the brow line falls. The result? Deep forehead wrinkles and lines around the eye area that make us look worn out, upset and even angry - the opposite of how you want the world to see you!

The good news is that brow lift surgery can lift the brow line to a more youthful position while at the same time smoothing out forehead wrinkles, and even deep creases, making you look several years younger in the process.
As early as our 30s and 40s, we can begin to notice signs of aging in our mid-face and cheek area. As essential proteins in the skin, like collagen and elastin, are lost, skin loses its elasticity and begins to droop downward; the result is a sagging mid-face, elongated lower eyelids, jowls, unattractive lines around the nose and mouth area (nasolabial folds) and hollowing of the cheekbones.

I had a very small mole removed extremely close to my lash line. Dr. Ghafouri did such an amazing job, nobody could have done a better job.

I've had several eye procedures done with Dr G. I have also been very satisfied with each one he's done.
The staff at the office were extremely helpful when I had any questions about procedures or insurance.
If there comes a time when I need him again I will not hesitate to use him again.

I have been having facials with Sara E. at Arizona Oculoplastic Specialists for a year and it has made a huge difference with my skin. Sara is highly qualified and knows her products really well. Zo Skin skincare is the first skincare line I can honestly say works! Sara is a wonderful person who makes you feel and look your very best. It is an investment in myself which is truly worth it.

They kept my $120.00 dollar consultation fee even though I cancelled well in advance and had good reasons to have to reschedule and cancel , all reasons out of my hands mind you. $120.00 dollars is a lot of money to take from someone and it's Highway robbery if you ask me. So it's safe to say I will be getting my eye lid surgery elsewhere so their greed lost them five grand but at least gained them $120.00 dollars ..Greed never pays off. In the end really. They do the old oh but this is our policy oh but we lost out on 15 min of time with some one else to be here so yeah it&apos

I had upper eyelid surgery 5/20/21. Dr. Ghafouri is a man of few words and a superb surgeon. His entire staff from the front desk in the office to the surgery services at Scottsdale Eye Surgery Center all provided exceptional care. One must follow doctors orders during recovery to have the best outcome. My wife is scheduled for an appointment for possible upper eyelid surgery with Dr. Ghafouri in July. I would highly recommend Dr. Ghafouri.

On July 2, 2020 I saw Dr Ghafouri in office from a referral from my eye doctor. He offered my options and I agreed to procedure. My issue is with his office/billing. After paying for the procedure they called me back and said I "owed" more. So not wanting any issue I paid that added amount. The office was given all my address/insurance co-pay information before this visit. Unfortunately, on 3/30/2021 I receive a message from there office people (not billing) that I have a co-pay they did not collect and that they are sending it to collections. They state they have sent several bills

Dr. Ghafouri is a professional, pleasant and proficient surgeon. I had some excessive swelling (no fault of his) and he took care of me right away. His staff is polite and prompt. I'm into alliteration today...I highly recommend Dr. Ghafouri.

I signed up for an appointment on-line for a consultation and when I arrived they required a $120 fee! No where online was this mentioned. They said the fee would go towards a procedure. But during my appointment Ali said I wasn't a candidate for the procedure. Don't go to him unless you are 100% sure he is the surgeon for you AND you need the procedure.

Amazingly talented surgeon! I struggled with a chalazion that would go back and forth between being an unsightly bump on my eyelid to a painful stye for two whole years. I was always afraid to get it removed. Other specialists told me it was mostly scar tissue and they didn't want to risk ruining my eyelid or me losing my lashes by attempting to remove it. Random stories on the internet of eye patches and unforgettably painful experiences didn't help... However, Dr. Ghafouri went ahead and removed it during my consultation. Quick, minimal discomfort, no extreme after care required at

Dr. Ghafouri has great attention to detail. My husband started going to him and wasn't sure if he would like him. He had his eyes done and Dr. Ghafouri told him that he may only have 75% improvement. My husband and I are so happy with the results....it was more like 95% improvement. We both doing more with him (filler, botox, face treatements, etc.) because he has great attention to detail and does not make false promises. We would definitely recommend him.
