Lunata Eyelid and Cosmetic Surgery

Upper and lower blepharoplasty by Kasra Eliasieh, MD has refined and rejuvenated her appearance, an energetic 58 year old woman. They say 50 is the new 30 🤩

The refined work of Kasra Eliasieh, MD is truly elegant. This 74 year old woman’s holistic treatment plan included a brow lift and upper blepharoplasty with ptosis repair, as well as lower blepharoplasty with facial fat transfer.

Dr. Eliasiehs customized her upper lid procedure to include fat repositioning and fat transfer with beautiful effect. Scroll to see the volume and shape of her brow and lid from the sides. Her results are natural and rejuvenating. We love to see her looking so radiant and ready for the holiday season 🍁

Kasra Eliasieh, MD performed a sub-brow blepharoplasty for this 74 year old man. This specialized surgical procedure involves making a discreet incision directly along the lower border of the eyebrows. The goal of this procedure is to preserve the intrinsic eye shape by lifting heaviness from the top down. The sub-brow blepharoplasty is a good option for Asian men and women, particularly those in middle age or older.

Functional blepharoplasty is a procedure covered by insurance to remove sagging upper eyelid skin that is obstructing your vision. This 77 year old woman met the insurance criteria—her sagging skin was blocking the center of her pupils—and underwent the procedure this past summer. She is very pleased that her vision has been restored without changing her appearance. She feels refreshed and energetic, just as she hoped 🙌

Happy 2nd Anniversary to Lunata 🎉

Dr. Kasra Eliasieh opened his solo practice on Oct 21st 2024 with a vision for surgical excellence and premium patient care. He recruited his wife Laura to give shape to Lunata, identifying what would make this practice unique and even progressive for the health and beauty industries—age positivity, inclusion, light touch, and sustainability. We love our location in Berkeley and the diverse population we serve in the Bay Area and beyond. Day by day, week by week, and year by year we are a small business motivated to make change, to see through the transformations that are possible for individuals as well as culture and the environment. Good for people and good for the planet.

Join us especially in celebrating the genuine care and unwavering commitment of Dr. Eliasieh who has greeted thousands of patients in his 12+ years of practicing medicine in the Bay Area, and believes high quality healthcare is not only possible but vital to the future we are building for generations to come.

This gorgeous cyanotype print by Dora Somosi from the series ‘By Her Side’ (2022-ongoing) currently being framed by Andrew Berg to commemorate the 2nd anniversary of Lunata—tomorrow is the official day!

Somosi’s lens-based practice is rooted in slow processes, care for the natural world, and a commitment to honoring great creative legacies.

For the ongoing series ‘By Her Side’ Somosi is “visiting the homes/studios of departed female artists and thinkers whose practices are rooted in America, and whose work has been influential to her work, and that of so many. For this work, she creates a photographic blueprint of a tree that was witness, through its proximity, to the selected women’s legacy. The women all have deep relationships to the land. They use their expertise or pioneering spirit for education, inquiry, land conservation, preservation and/or appreciation. Visiting the sites is a performative act that calls upon innate photographic abilities to both connect and memorialize. This is a chosen history and a personal education.”

This print titled — Anna Halprin, Kentfield, CA, (Canyon Oak), 2025 — is a hand-printed 36 x 28 inch cyanotype on Arches watercolor paper from an edition of 5. Halprin was a prominent late 20th century choreographer based in Northern California who transformed dance into a profound tool for personal and community healing. She authored seminal texts on somatic movement, including Dance as a Healing Art and Moving Toward Life.

The branches of a Canyon Oak bend toward one another in a gentle way, crossing one another, leaves absorbing the sunlight, growing slowly decade by decade. The tree could live to be 300 years old. One of the more figurative works on view at Lunata, the trunks like the human body, rhyme with the crossing of one’s legs or arms, or the crossing of two bodies in motion. Halpein’s dance philosophy saw dance not as rigid technique, but as continuous motion, life itself, and a tool for healing, social change, and mind-body integration.

Thank you to Sarah Shepard and of course Dora Somosi for preparing this new addition to the Lunata office. We will share photos once framed and installed!
