I had been thinking about and researching upper eyelid surgery for several years, but I was always hesitant especially when it came to having any kind of incision on my face. That all changed when I came across Dr. Jayaram's website and began watching her educational videos. Her approach felt thoughtful, precise, and natural, which gave me the confidence to schedule a consultation. From the moment I met her, I felt a strong sense of trust. She has a calm, reassuring presence and clearly explained what could be achieved. I never felt pressured and only guided and she gave me confidence that I would be happy with the results if I chose to proceed. She also has a very polished and professional presence, which added to my comfort level. I also want to mention Sky, her office assistant, who was incredibly kind, attentive, and organized. She helped coordinate my appointments seamlessly and contributed to making the entire experience smooth and pleasant. The office itself is beautiful and welcoming, which reflects the level of care they provide. After the procedure, I will admit I was initially nervous to look in the mirror, which I think is natural. I was even surprised that I was able to drive myself home afterward. I had expected to feel comfortable going out with sunglasses after about a week, but I ended up giving myself closer to two weeks, which was the right decision for me. At my one week follow-up, she carefully checked my healing and asked to see me again at one month. At that visit, she took my after photos and I am now happy to say after three months that I am very pleased with the results. Looking back, this was a thoughtful and worthwhile decision, and I am truly glad I did it. Dr. Jayaram has a gentle touch, a precise eye, and a natural aesthetic. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone considering this procedure. Overall, she is a master in her field. If I could give more than five stars, I would. read more

Dr J did an amazing job. She does what works best for your features (not a one size fits all approach.) I am so happy with the results. She is also very accessible if you have questions/concerns. Both Skye and Dr J are very friendly and I felt very comfortable during every visit. Her office is a bit of a drive for me but totally worth it as Dr Js skills are exceptional. read more

Dr. Jayaram performed my upper bleph about 6 weeks ago. I am extremely happy with the results. Dr. Jayaram is very knowledgeable and understood my concerns and even pointed out things that needed improvement I didn't even consider. It's nice to be able to trust her expertise. During the procedure, she talked through the whole process and was very calming. I am very happy I decided to do the procedure and I am happy I chose Dr. Jayaram. read more

Dr. J is great!! When I was researching to get my eye lid procedure done, Dr. J helped me feel totally comfortable, answered all my questions thoroughly, was kind and understanding. This helped make my decision easier as to who to choose. She wants you to feel secure and comfortable with your decision making, has a very nice beside manner, and it's important to her for you to be satisfied with your results. Whats great is that she makes herself always available to answer questions or concerns. I am satisfied with my natural, refreshing looking results. You're in good hands by choosing Dr.J!! :) read more

Dr. J is an incredible oculoplastic surgeon! I had an upper blepharoplasty done with her in office, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. She took the time to explain everything in detail, listened to my concerns, and delivered results that are both subtle and transformative. My eyes look brighter and more youthful, but still very natural -- friends keep telling me I look "bright and awake" without knowing I had anything done! Her team is equally wonderful -- professional, kind, and attentive. I felt completely cared for from start to finish. If you're considering eyelid surgery, you're in the best hands with Dr. J! read more

I'm so happy with my upper blepharoplasty by Dr. Jayaram. As an oculoplastic surgeon who has performed over 8,000 eyelid procedures, her expertise was exactly what I was looking for. The results are natural and refreshed, and the entire process--from consultation to recovery--was smooth and professional. I highly recommend her to anyone considering eyelid surgery. read more

Dr. Jayaram is a skilled doctor with great instincts. Her diligence saved me from a very invasive (and unnecessary) MOHS surgery. Originally, my dermatologist suspected the presence of a melanoma lesion along my lash line. Considering the lesion's location and my desire for minimal scarring, I sought the expertise of an oculoplastic surgeon, leading me to discover Dr. Jayaram. When I initially met her it felt like I was sitting with an old friend. She was warm, informative, and put my stress to ease. Throughout the surgical procedure, she exhibited meticulous attention to detail. Not only did she ensure the preservation of the tiny lesion as a single piece for laboratory analysis, but she also achieved a remarkable aesthetic outcome. The initial lab results indicated the presence of melanoma. Given her direct experience with the lesion during its removal, she questioned the accuracy of the results and encouraged me not to panic. She decided to seek further evaluation by sending the sample to Harvard. Subsequent results from Harvard confirmed that the lesion was, in fact, NOT melanoma but a nevus. Thus removing the need for any surgical intervention. Had she unquestioningly accepted the initial results, I might have undergone a needless MOHS surgery, potentially resulting in the loss of part of my lash line. She was always very open, direct, and informative which I greatly appreciated. To add, Dr. Jay was not covered under my insurance, but trusting my instincts and selecting her as my doctor was one of the best decisions I made. read more

To be clear, I initially liked my upper eye "bleph" but now understand it was NOT a blepharoplasty, as told, but merely removal of some baggy skin. Now just two years later my eyes are in need of a true blepharoplasty, as Dr. J didn't remove the fat pads causing my droopy hooded look. For $4k, I'm very disappointed and frustrated as I saved up for this procedure and am back where I started. I feel the office wasn't upfront about her process, and even skirted my ask about lower bag removal stating I should wait - and come back. read more

ABOVE AND BEYOND - I had an incredible experience from the first consult all the way through post-op and beyond. Dr. Jayaram is an extraordinary surgeon whose exceptional kindness and expertise left an unforgettable mark on my experience. From our initial meeting, her genuine care and attentiveness made me feel valued as a patient. Her surgical skill was evident in the meticulous care she took at every stage, ensuring both my comfort and understanding. I have struggled for a long time with the appearance of heavy eyelids for some time now. I did a lot of research to find Dr. Ann Jayaram, who was recommended to me by another plastic surgeon's office. Her level of expertise and the incredible results from her procedures set me at ease - I knew I was in the right place with the perfect surgeon! On the day of surgery, Dr. Jayaram and Sky made me feel super comfortable and calmed my nerves. Dr. Jayaram went through the process and post-op care in depth. Dr. Jayaram began with me lying down comfortably in the procedure chair and cleaning my eyes; she proceeded to numb my eyelids, which was not uncomfortable at all. If you have ever had Botox, the first 1 to 2 little pokes can feel similar to that - but you become very numb after the first shot. I did not feel a thing! Dr. Jayaram is so gentle you don't even feel the procedure. Before my surgery, I purchased a cold eye mask, knowing I would have lots of icing in the first 48 hours - I highly recommend purchasing one before your procedure. I followed Dr. Jayaram's instructions to the tee, and my recovery was super smooth. Dr. Jayaram is an artist when it comes to all things eyes. She is a true trailblazer in her field. Eyelid surgery is a very delicate procedure, and it definitely was not a decision I made lightly. However, I am super happy to have Dr. Jayaram as my surgeon. If you are considering blepharoplasty, call Dr. Jayaram and have a consultation - I promise you - you will end up scheduling your surgery with her. She is AMAZING! Also - If you are someone like me who has been using Latisse but suffers from irritated, red eyelids from using the product. Dr. Jayaram has created her own formula that works just like Latisse without the irritation. She is a life changer when it comes to everything eyes! Thank you, Dr. Jayaram and team, for bringing my confidence back! read more

Dr. Ann Jayaram is amazing!! I love how boujie and clean her office is. It feels like I'm walking into a Beverly Hills office and I feel like a real housewife (without the overdone plastic surgery). I don't trust ANYONE with my eyes besides Dr. Jayaram. Getting fillers in the under eyes isn't actually a "simple procedure," because if it's done incorrectly you can go blind. Or, like what happened to me (when I got filler done in nyc), it was overdone and then it migrated to my cheeks and made me look like a chipmunk :( intially I had Dr. Jayaram do my filler and she did the perfect amount and we staying conservative with the filler (not too much, not too little). When I went to see another cosmetic surgeon, she said I needed more so I let her add another mL in my under eyes. That's when the migration happened and it completely moved from the under eye area. Thankfully, Dr. Jayaram was able to dissolve the filler, and I've learned my lesson to only go to her for filler instead of another doctor, because she really does understand the human eye! read more

Run, don't walk. Feeling Beyond grateful to have found Dr. Ann and her expertise in the face. Her guidance in helping me navigate (let's be honest-looking old overnight) my problem areas has finally calmed my anxiety. Her consultation gave me options, with a sense of relief, all while getting excited to feel like me again! I feel blessed in be in the hands of Dr.Ann!! read more

Don't go. I just got rip off by getting Botox. They made my pay $600 (included 100 deposit before I left there) for two area Botox on my face. I did the same area at another clinic never more than 200. read more

I had wanted to have my heavy eyelids corrected for a few years and after a few consultations with plastic surgeons I met Dr. J. Within 5 minutes I knew she would be the one I went with. She has an amazing presence and confidence that left me feel very secure in my choice. I could not be happier with the results. The procedure was so quick and painless and my recovery and healing went perfectly. I feel so much more confident now and love my new eyes. I highly recommend Dr. J if you are considering this surgery. Perfection! read more

Dr. Jay is fantastic. I had an upper lid bleph and I only wanted an ophthalmologist to do it. I could not believe how easy Dr Jay made it. She was very patient and informative during consultation - I felt comfortable immediately with her. The actual procedure was smooth and painless. She and Skye, her assistant, are both very warm and helpful. My eyes look so much better. I highly recommend this doctor for this procedure. read more

Non-responsive. Charges $100 for 20 minutes wait time and 1 min conversation. Does not follow up. Only interested making money. Not interested in customers' well being. read more

Got these annoying genetic xanthelasma removed from my eyelids. Dr J was so nice, factual, didn't try to oversell me. On time, professional, efficient. Great communication skills. She knew exactly what she was doing, and my xanth are GONE, and my lids are healing really well. She told me they could come back, which I already knew. If they do, I'll go back to her and get them off again. Thank you! read more

I recently had blepharoplasty (upper eyelid) surgery performed by Dr. Jayaram and what an amazing experience this was from beginning to end. If I could give her 100 stars I would! From the very first consultation, she made me feel comfortable and secure in my decision to choose her as my plastic surgeon. Now fast forward to the actual procedure she made me feel just as comfortable. Everything went quicker than anticipated, in a blink of an eye if you will. She checked on me throughout the whole process which I loved. I would highly recommend this very kind, patient, proficient, and skillful surgeon if you are ever in need of an eyelid procedure. Quickly adding why I wanted to get an upper blepharoplasty done- I had the "Asian eyelid look" and I'm of Latin descent. I wanted to get a wider more awake look and ever since the procedure I've been getting tons of compliments stating "I look more refreshed." Hands down the best choice I've ever made. Can't thank you enough, Dr. Jayaram!! read more

I went to see Dr. Jayaram because I have asymmetrical upper eyelids. I figured it was the best time right now because I'm wfh anyway. I did a bunch of research online and Dr. Jayaram was the only one with 5 stars across all of her reviews. I also got some quotes for upper eyelid surgeries, and Dr. Jayaram's was the only one that seemed to be in my budget. Jenn, Dr. J's office admin person, is also super nice and was a delight to chat with. I remember asking her a ton of questions, and she always replied to all of them. On the day of surgery, Dr. Jayaram walked me through everything. She walked me through each step. What made it the best was that she talked with me through the entire surgery. It was like I was like her friend rather than her patient. And I think this is what puts her over the top for me. She answered any questions I had, but also is so very warm and welcoming. I cannot recommend her enough. She is also extremely precise and finished the procedure in a timely manner. I am 1-day post op and I feel incredible. I thought I would be in a ton of pain, especially right after the procedure and the next day. I am in almost no pain at all. Dr. J is amazing at her craft, but is also the most approachable, nicest/kindest doctor I've ever met. Thank you for everything Dr. J & Jenn! read more

Dr J is awesome--she was straight forward, didn't push any services or products, took her time answering questions and even objectively told me that I didn't need specific treatments that I was considering. I went to Dr J given her specialty in ophthalmology and ocuplastic surgery. I have eye area issues, including excessive tearing and eczema. I felt very comfortable with her conservative approach and medically sound advice. Highly recommend Dr J to anyone! read more

I have been seeing Dr. Jayaram for Botox for about four years. She always has amazing attention to detail and gives me the perfect pick me up every time. Her new office is so luxurious and relaxing - it's a pleasure to be able to go to my appointments! I have also done various lasers and specialized facials over the years and have always been pleased. She is a wealth of knowledge! read more

I am extremely grateful I found Dr. Jayaram to preform my upper eyelid surgery. I HIGHLY recommend her. She made the process from start to finish so easy. My eyes look amazing and even better than I expected. I was so afraid to have the surgery but she made the procedure a very comfortable experience. During the surgery I was never afraid or uncomfortable. IShe made it so much easier than I expected. She is very nice and she explained what she was doing every step of the way. She is caring and wants to be sure you are 100% happy with the results. She and her assistant were always available if I had any questions or concerns. read more

I had an amazing experience here. I had a 15 years old blepharoplasty with awful visible scars and unnatural, asymmetric looks. Dr. Jayaram CORRECTED this mess with NO visible scars! How did she do it is beyond my understanding! Besides Ann is a bright, caring person with perfect communicative skills, open and friendly. I'm blessed meeting her! read more

Visited for stye consultation and it was literally 5 min discussion. And I already know the information discussed. I was recommended steroid drops which was initially mentioned as costing $280 and then after sometime brought down to $60. This drops didn't help anyways. And the consultation fee is $475 The staff in this practice are not transparent about the costs. They don't even mention if they are part of in network or out network. Overall not a trust worthy practice. read more

This review is long overdue. Dr. Jayaram did my fraxel treatment a few months ago on my face and around my eyes, and I absolutely love the results. Just as she explained, I was a little red for a few days, then small, speckled brown crusts appeared and flaked off a few days later. My skin is as smooth as ever. The whole time Dr. Jayaram explained exactly what she was doing and exactly what I should expect in the coming days. I can't wait for my next treatment. Her office is warm, inviting, and professional. I enjoyed seeing her multiple degrees, schools, and diplomas on her wall next her golden A! Ask her about this next time you see her. Thanks Dr. Jayaram! read more

I had noticeable loose skin at the outer corner of my upper eyelids that were not properly addressed by the surgeon who did my upper blepharoplasty revision a year ago. I had consulted 4 different oculoplastic surgeons in L.A. and SF Bay Area. All of them told me they couldn't excise the loose skin, or made it sound like it was difficult to fix. One even told me that I would just have to live with the loose skin. Dr. Jayaram was the 5th oculoplastic surgeon I had consulted. All I had to do was tell her my concerns, she immediately agreed with me and diagnosed the issue at hand. She then talked about how she would excise the skin and improve the overall appearance of my eyes. I was very impressed with her knowledge and booked the procedure after my consult. I'm a healthcare provider too and I have had procedures before, so I am not someone who's easily impressed. My procedure was basically a truncated version of Dr. Jayaram's signature upper eyelift. I was in and out of the office under 40 minutes; the actual excision took less time than that. Very little pain, and I could tell her surgical skills were excellent. Trust me I used to work post-op and got to see some interesting stitching skills by different surgeons. Anyway, recovery was smooth, hardly any bruising and swelling. Loose skin issue practically unnoticeable and the shape of my eyes much improved. If I ever need eyelid procedures again I would definitely get them with Dr.Jayaram. Actually of any of my friends ask about eyelid lifts I'd tell them to go see Dr. Jayaram. It's great to have an oculoplastic surgeon who's skillful, approachabl, and knowledgeable in the SF Bay Area. You really don't need to go to L.A. read more

I was bothered by puffiness under my eyes, but as someone that has to rely heavily on contact lenses, I was nervous about any procedures related to my eyes. Having my ophthalmologist office refer me to Dr. J, I had immediate trust in her to put my wellness first & my instincts were correct! Dr. J explained to me that ultimately, I'd be a good candidate for lower eyelid blepharoplasty, but meanwhile, I should observe the progression vs. pushing for an immediate procedure. I appreciate the honest, expert opinion/advice from Dr. J very much & look forward to working with her to help me in this process! read more

I consulted with several surgeons before I decided to schedule a blepharoplasty with Dr. Jayaram. The other doctors I spoke with wanted to sell me skin resurfacing, a brow lift, and other procedures I did not want or need. I am very glad I went to Dr. Jayaram as she is meticulous in her work and my eyes look perfect. It was just what I wanted. I did not look "pulled" or "done". I look fresh and rested. She does an excellent job without trying to sell all the extras. Very, very happy with my choice of surgeon. read more

Ann Jayaram did a terrible job on my lids and I am devastated with the results. She lied to me telling me she'd never had a complaint before and refused to return my 4 thousand dollars. Please don't let this happen to you too. Be happy with the lids God gave you and please walk away from her office and be happy you did before she puts a scalpel in her hands and touches you. read more

Exceptional! This one word encapsulates Dr. Jayaram. She is welcoming, professional, and very accessible - you can email her anytime. She is realistic, and provided the optimal solution to my issue of droopy eyelids and under eye bags. I opted to have surgery on both - best decision of my life! Dr. Jayaram possesses a surgical proficiency and a comprehensive artistic understanding of the eyes, and face, that are parallel to none. And, in addition to being Board Certified, she is well credentialed and educated. Her practice, ellevateMD, offers an array of services, and I am excited for my next (non-surgical this time) service! I must also express my appreciation for her "right hand", Lauren. Lauren is knowledgeable, efficient, responsive, and 10 steps ahead of the rest of us. read more

I'm so happy I've found Dr. jayaram for cosmetic procedures around my eyes- particularly for treating under eye wrinkles. I could visit other practitioners, but going to Dr. jayaram puts me to ease knowing she's an expert in treating this delicate area. Dr. Jayaram is friendly, procedures are super quick, and she's easily accessible. Another plus is the ability to text her wonderful assistant for quick appointments. I'll certainly be a life-long patient! read more

As we all know our skin is the largest organ in the human body. With that, requires great trust between you and the Doctor touching and operating on your skin. Dr. Ann Jayaram is not only extremely intelligent but she's also very sweet and welcoming.

Came to ellevateMD for a full consultation and was so pleased with all of my treatment options. The girls checking me into my appointment were so nice and made sure I was accommodated for (as I was running a bit behind due to work). She has a beautiful location, very modern and brand new! Dr. Jayaram has a wonderful bedside manner and took her time to explain all of the procedures and treatments I was interested in getting. She was very professional and answered all of my questions.

Absolutely amazing. Dr Jayaram is very very down to earth. She's very conservative with her work and wants to make sure you are happy with your results. She had great communication and overall just one of the most pleasant people I've ever met. Highly recommend. read more

I've tried other injectors before and never been satisfied with results or patient care and coordination. Dr. Jayaram and her staff are spectacular! The botox services they provide come with a "touch up" guarantee if necessary, going above and beyond expectation. I always feel warmly received and well taken care of in the ellevateMD offices, so I highly recommend anyone interested give them a try! You won't be disappointed. read more

Dr. Jayaram is a great doctor and a great person. I was lucky enough to find her online and took a chance and went to see her for a consultation a few months ago. Then I saw her again for treatment just a few days ago. She's the kind of doctor where you are not intimidated with and when talking to her, it's like talking to a friend and you forget she's a doctor. She's very conservative with her technique and she always believes less is more. Of course she wants you to be happy with the results, so you just need to let her know what you want. She explains everything thoroughly and you can ask as many questions you need. I love how she personally calls you instead of sending in a receptionist to call to explain things to you. read more

I so enjoyed my Jet Peel facial from their esthetician, Catherine. She was efficient, knowledgeable, and very pleasant. Most importantly, my skin felt and looked fabulous after the treatment. I highly recommend this facial. read more
