With eyelid surgeries up 38% in recent years, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, a growing number of patients are opting for procedures that deliver subtle yet powerful results—without the risks or downtime of traditional cosmetic operations. Tapping into this rising demand, nationally acclaimed ophthalmologist and cosmetic surgeon, Emilio M. Justo, M.D., has launched an advanced in-person CO₂ Laser Blepharoplasty Training Program designed to equip physicians with one of the most precise, profitable, and in-demand procedures in aesthetic medicine today.
Conducted at the Arizona Eye Institute & Cosmetic Laser Center—Dr. Justo’s state-of-the-art, AAAHC-accredited facility in the Northwest Valley—the three-day course offers physicians across specialties a rare chance to master CO₂ laser-assisted upper eyelid surgery through live demonstrations, clinical consultation experience, and real-time surgical observation.
“There’s a reason blepharoplasty has been called the ‘Zoom Boom’ procedure,” Dr. Justo says. “In less than 30 minutes, it can dramatically improve a patient’s vision, appearance, and confidence—all under local anesthesia.”
In the post-pandemic era of remote work, high-definition cameras, and aging millennials seeking noninvasive fixes, demand for eyelid surgery has skyrocketed. Once a niche offering reserved for older adults, upper blepharoplasty is now trending among younger patients in their 30s and 40s, who are eager to counteract droopy lids and tired eyes without undergoing invasive surgery.
Yet despite its popularity, few surgeons are trained in the delicate precision required for optimal results—especially using CO₂ laser technology, which dramatically reduces bleeding, bruising, and recovery time. Dr. Justo, who has performed nearly 30,000 laser blepharoplasties since pioneering the technique in 1995, says the need for competent practitioners is greater than ever.
The Blepharoplasty Training Program blends surgical rigor with practical takeaways that allow doctors to immediately implement the procedure in their own clinics.
Highlights of The Blepharoplasty Training Program
- Live surgical consultations and candidacy assessments.
- Specialized laser technique training and anesthesia best practices.
- Step-by-step procedure tutorials with a focus on safety, efficiency, and aesthetic symmetry.
- Post-op care protocols and complication avoidance.

- Business development resources helping physicians integrate the high-margin procedure into their practice.
Known for his surgical precision and mentorship style, Dr. Justo—who became a physician at 23 and has since given two international TEDx talks—personally leads each training session. From pre-op assessments to suturing techniques, he ensures every participant gains deep fluency in both the science and artistry of eyelid surgery.
In an era of short attention spans and high aesthetic standards, blepharoplasty offers rare staying power. The procedure’s 20-minute duration, low-risk profile, and long-lasting results make it a favorite among discerning patients—and a smart addition for practices seeking to boost revenue while improving outcomes.
