I was Dr Abboud's patient in January 2024 for ptosis correction and scar repair procedure. I don't have words to express my gratitude and the remarkable experience I had being the patient of Dr Abboud. I had an accident when I was three where I knocked the corner of a chair when I was running and the chair fell on my left eye causing it to bleed continuously. My parents brought me to urgent care where the doctor simply put a few stitches to stop the bleeding. The doctor at that time wasn't an eye specialist and the botched job caused me to have ptosis and visible scar on my left eye growing up. Two years ago when taking photos, I noticed my droopy eyelid got worse. I found Dr Abboud online from all the amazing reviews, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions in my life. Dr Abboud did a fantastic job fixing my droopy eyelid. I was worried at first because my eye blood vessel bursted the night before I'm supposed to remove my stitches, and my eye bled continuously. Dr Abboud remains available despite it being late night, calmed me and helped answered the questions from UCSD emergency room staff. He immediately identified the issue the next day I went to him and cauterized the bursted blood vessel. Despite the hiccups, the outcome is amazing. My scar at left eye fades, and my eyelid is lifted just right. Also huge shoutout to his amazing staff Celine who's been super friendly and helpful with all the paperwork for my leave. read more

When I first walked in to Oculofacial Surgical Arts I thought, "Am I at a luxury hotel or a doctor's office?" It turns out, I was at a doctor's office. The team members at Oculofacial Surgical Arts that checked me in were friendly, informative, and efficient. Dr. Abood answered all of my concerns in a professional, yet friendly, manner. I am very happy with his work. This is one business I can't recommend enough. read more

I have visited Dr. Abboud multiple times as a patient and have always had an extremely positive experience. His office is welcoming and beautiful. Celine is very prompt at responding to any messages, and makes the whole process of scheduling and post op care pleasant. It is clear that Dr. Abboud cares for his patients. He is thorough, kind, and spends a good amount of time listening to individual concerns. I also appreciate that he refers to the most up-to-date literature when advising his patients. I always recommend Dr.Abboud & his team to my friends and family for their ocular and cosmetic needs! Thank you! read more

Best way I have invested in myself because of Dr. Abboud and his team's ability to provide outcomes beyond my expectations. Dr. Abboud has performed an eyelid crease and removed the bags under my eyes. Yes, these are layman terms for upper and lower Blepharoplasty surgery. My results are amazing. It has been 3 months since my surgery. My crease makes me look more engaged rather than angry. I also appear less tired without the bags. The scars are so expertly placed by Dr. Abboud that they appear to be natural wrinkles. After the first week, people could not tell that I have had my eyes modified. They commented on me being more youthful and "bright eyed." If you are like me and want your face to reflect your enthusiasm and vibrance that you have in your life, then go to Dr. Abboud instead of getting a sports car. My background: I am a 54 year old Asian male who has spent too much time in the sun surfing. This sun damage coupled with sagging upper eyelids has made my appearance angry and tired. I chose to do this surgery because I was frustrated with "showing up" different than how I felt about life. Why I chose Dr. Abboud: His team have excelled at making me feel that I am investing in myself rather than a patient spending money. I have had two different consultations prior to Dr. Abboud. Both doctors never provided me with photos of their work (aka prior patients), along with explaining the process to me. Their response made me second guess what my outcome could be as a standard template or customized to my face. Dr. Abboud walked me through the process and how he would approach the procedure. His comment that he wanted to maintain my ethnic look resonated with me that he saw me as an individual. I knew that he was going to take the time to study my face and give me the best outcome based on my request to lift my upper eyelids for a more youthful appearance, along with looking less tired due to the bags under my eyes. His Team: Dr. Abboud's success is due to his talent and his team's ability to support me through this process. From setting up the consultations, walking me through the billing, discussing my expectations, pre and post surgery actions, and actual time in the operating room, I have never felt more secure and protected. For example, I woke up laughing and making odd references about a pink elephant. Still can't figure out where this came from my memories. If you are like me prior to my surgery when I would see myself and wonder how my eyes don't support how I feel about myself, then I recommend investing in yourself and having Dr. Abboud transform you into the person who you want to see in the mirror. read more

This review is for the front office staff. My daughter had an accident in New Zealand while on Christmas break and needed to see an Oculoplastic Surgeon on our return. I frantically called many offices to get an appointment for her. The lady who answered the phone was so nice and caring to our urgent situation and squeezed us in on the first day the doctor was back in office. She said she will call me back if anyone cancels any earlier appointment. She called me back today and said they can make our appointment earlier in the day. However, I already got another appointment days earlier at another office, so I had to cancel. I am so impressed with her, I'm sorry I did not catch your name, but you know who you are. Thank you so much for your empathy, you don't know what that meant to me calling so far from home. read more

I proceeded with a lower blepharoplasty with fat repositioning in July 2022 and I am thrilled with my results. I have dealt with bags under my eyes since my teens and constantly looked tired. At 38 years old, I decided to start trying filler. One of the first things out of the doctors mouth who did my filler was "you're not a good candidate for filler, you'd be a great candidate for surgery though" I did filler for close to two years and kept debating what she said about surgery. After having to get some filler dissolved and re-filled, I decided I was going to look into surgery. Dr. Abboud was recommended to me early on in my search, and he ended up being the only MD I did a consult with. I loved his approach, demeanor, and previous clients work. Any MD I researched after meeting with him seemed to pale in comparison. He understood immediately what my issues were and was great at explaining the procedure to me in detail and answering my questions. Same goes for his right hand lady Celine, she was awesome, and so helpful with discussing the financial side and working with me as I changed my surgery date a few times due to work issues. The day of my surgery was seamless and I never even had any pain. I made ice my best friend for about 2 weeks and had zero complaints. I have received MANY compliments in the 6 months since I had the surgery and I love how refreshed I look all the time. My only regret is wasting my money on filler and not getting the surgery sooner. I can't sing Dr. Abboud's praises loud enough, thank you for making me look how I feel inside. read more

Dr Abboud and his staff are very caring and meticulous. I had basal cell carcinoma in a very precarious spot near my eye. After the dermatologist removed all the cancer, Dr Abboud put me back together. As you can see excellent results and I'm healing very nicely. I would highly recommend this doctor for your needs. I would also say that his compassion for the LGBT community is also noteworthy. read more

The only positive thing about this place is their Front Office Admin, Selene. This was one of the most disrespectful doctor's I've ever dealt with in my life! I went in for an internal eye cyst that needed to be removed after 1.5 years of two other Ophthalmologists trying to remove the cyst. Dr. Abboud didn't even inspect my internal eye cyst before recommending a surface laser that my insurance didn't cover. Of course you're going to recommend treatments that I DON'T NEED and that are NOT COVERED BY INSURANCE. After going back and forth with Dr. Abboud, he was more concerned about the referring doctors, his unnecessary laser treatment and making more and more money off of me versus actually being a CONCERNED DOCTOR and treating my actual eye condition. This visit ended with me giving Dr. Abboud a piece of my mind and leaving disgusted and appalled that this man is a medical doctor treating patients. Please save your money, your peace of mind and GO ELSEWHERE to a doctor's office that actually cares about your health versus just your money!!!! read more

The Best ,most caring and talented doctor you can ask for. I was referred to Dr.Abboud and I'm so happy with him. I saw him for an Upper eye Blepharoplasty and wrinkles under my eyes. At the consult Celine made me feel very comfortable and Dr.Abboud was kind and explained everything and answered all my questions. I was able to get right in for my procedure due to a late opening in his Very busy schedule- the word of his talent is getting out. Day of my Cosmetic surgery he took his time and made sure I understood everything. The surgery center was Beautiful and welcoming. There was no waiting around and we got started- I have to say it didn't hurt , I remained comfortable the hold time the nurse and assistant was very comforting and attentive. In an hour and after it was done - upper lid bleph and CO2 laser to my under eyes for wrinkles. Then I was ready to go home. He is gentle and considerate during the whole procedure. Very little down time about a week and you can't even tell I did anything his incision was perfect and now not even noticeable. If anyone is looking for a cosmetic facial surgery or a touch up Please go see Dr. Jean-Paul Abboud. read more

Dr Abboud did oculofacial surgery on both of my lower lids - fast, painless and very effective procedure. Great doctor who is compassionate and who listens to what patient tells. Highly recommended! read more

At Oculofacial Surgical Arts, I was treated with the very highest degree of care and respect. Dr. Jean-Paul (JP) Abboud and his team were beyond wonderful. The process from pre-operative consultation, surgery, to post-operative checkup was efficient and well-managed. Dr. Abboud exuded professionalism and also had a great sense of humor, which put me immediately at ease. I also loved that he is apparently an avid photographer who viewed my sophisticated surgery as both an art and a science. After thoroughly researching other surgeons/practices in the area, I chose Dr. Abboud of Occulofacial Surgical Arts because I trusted him, his work, and his team. His equally adept staff members were very attentive, experienced, and professional in answering all my questions and helping me explore various payment options. They made me feel comfortable and appeared interested in making sure I got the best results/outcome possible at a very affordable price. I couldn't be happier with the results of my surgery, and would not trust anyone else to operate on or around my eyes. read more

Dr. Abboud is a very talented oculofacial plastic surgeon. I always feel comfortable going to him for my procedures. He has the smoothest hands and he is very understanding and patient. I've already done three procedures with Dr. Abboud, including two Botox injections and a removal of a cancerous mole. I've had minimal to no scarring and did not even feel the Botox injections. I'm very grateful for his amazing talent that I've referred so many of my family members and friends to him and they all love him. I look forward to coming back to his clinic! read more

I went to Dr. Abboud because I had a chalazion on my left eyelid. The inside of my lid was surgically cut to ostensibly drain my clogged pore(s). I left with the chalazion not looking any different than when I arrived. In addition, in the half year since this surgery, I've seen several doctors because it never healed. Long story short - it appears that the incision was so great that it's caused scarring. I will live with the eyelid as it is, but I would never go to Dr. Abboud for another chalazion. I wished he had started with a small incision, but alas, it is what it is and life goes on... On another note, I'm on medicare with a supplement. I should never receive a bill. However, this office sent me THREE bills, with tons of itemized costs, including a crazy cost for each time a photo was taken of my eye. It was all an unfortunate experience. read more

An unbelievably talented and warm doctor who has the most gentle hands. He is patient, caring, intelligent, professional and thoughtful - all of the attributes you want when someone is working on something as delicate and sensitive as your eyes. I've seen Dr. Abboud twice now and would highly recommend him, he is wonderful. read more

Dr. Abboud is an exceptional physician with a warm and welcoming manner. He performed upper and lower blepharoplasty with fat repositioning back in the fall...and the results are beautiful and natural. The best way to describe my result is that I look like me but ten years younger. My scars are hidden in my eyelid creases, so no one knows! All I heard from colleagues was that I looked rejuvenated and rested after my vacation. I would highly recommend Dr. Abboud...he has the hands of a surgeon and the eyes of an artist. read more

Dr. Abboud is a fantastic surgeon! I had blepharoplasty and ectropian surgery done on my upper and lower eyelids. I would never had believed that you could have surgery in such a sensitive area and not have a moment of pain after - bruising and slight swelling, yes, that is normal but NO PAIN and no scars. I wish I had done this years ago. I look better and see better and no more remarks "Are you tired, do you feel OK?". Now I get comments - "WOW! Your eyes look fantastic! - it's very obvious to all who have seen my droopy eyelids over the years. Melissa, who is Dr, Abboud's admin/tech person was so responsive to any questions I had pre-surgery and after. I would text if I had a question and got my answer in a short matter of time. I also texted (I prefer texting to calling) Dr. Abboud with a question after the surgery and he texted me right back. For a surgeon to give you his cell phone and tell you to call or text anytime, I find that amazing (and reassuring). I highly recommend Dr Abboud for any surgery - you'll love his warm, calm and professional manner, too. read more

Dr. Abboud performed a DCR procedure on my 83 year old mother to correct her constant tearing problem. He was kind and patient with the dozens of questions we asked. He thoroughly explained the procedure and has a great bedside manner. At the surgery center, he personally came to the waiting room to update me on the success of her procedure, and called in her prescription on the spot. I highly recommend him. read more

I recently underwent Oculofacial surgery with Dr. Abboud to correct issues with my eyes and brow. He is a superbly talented physician who really takes his patients concerns to heart. He has a wonderful manner that instantly puts you at ease and that also calms any fears. The before and after surgery results are nothing short of remarkable. I can't begin to thank him enough for what he has done for me. I enthusiastically recommend that you consider consulting with Dr. Abboud - you won't regret it. Richard D. read more

I would highly recommend Dr. Abboud to anyone considering eyelid surgery! And especially if you're considering a mid-facelift with upper and lower blepharoplasty. I had these 3 procedures done by different General Plastic Surgeon in March 2019 and although my cheeks looked great, my lower eyelids were drooping at the outside corners which made my eyes look very sad. Not only that, I experienced constant tearing in my eyes and I could no longer wear my contact lenses. I even endured a second revision surgery by the same General Plastic Surgeon in June 2019 and unfortunately was no better. What I had was an unwanted side effect known as lower eyelid retraction. After doing more research on the internet, I realized that I needed to go to an Oculofacial Plastic Surgeon because they specialize in eyelid surgery. That's when I met Dr. Abboud in August. All I can say is, I only WISH I would have gone to him in the first place as Dr. Abboud not only corrected the position of my eyelids, but he restored the natural almond shape of my eyes without doing skin grafts! Third times a charm they say, and it certainly was in my case, but you don't learn the hard way like I did. Go and see Dr. Abboud first. He is warm and friendly man and a very talented and excellent plastic surgeon. He genuinely cares about his patients and is committed to making you look and feel great again! I can't thank you enough Dr. Abboud!!! : ) read more

I cannot recommend Dr. Abboud highly enough! I have had droopy eyelids (ptosis) that made me look tired all the time. I had been to several doctors and plastic surgeons, who were either unable to help me or I did not feel comfortable with them operating on my eyes. Finally, while searching for eyelid specialists in San Diego, I came across Dr. Abboud's website. I emailed him through his website and he personally called me the same day. Even over the phone, I could tell he was kind and knowledgable. He was patient and took the time to answer all my questions (and I had a lot!). I then scheduled an appointment to see him. During my consultation, he came across as pleasant and confident with a great bedside manner, and I knew he would be the right surgeon to entrust with my eyelids. The surgery went great! He even called me the same night to check up on me. He operated from inside the eyelid without any incisions or scars on the outside. After the swelling came down, my eyelids were lifted and my eyes looked more open. And now I no longer look tired! I cannot be happier with the results. Thank you, Dr. Abboud! read more
