Oculoplastic Surgeon - Laser Procedures of the Eyes and Face Many patients come into my office nervous, both about the procedure itself and the eventual outcome. As a doctor, I strive not only to reassure patients with my knowledge and ability, but to know me personally and to understand my natural approach.
Services
Dr. Stout's building is located in the Pasadena Towers on the southwest corner of Lake Avenue and Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena, California. Parking is available behind the building, and is accessible from the Lake Avenue and Hudson Avenue entrances. Our staff will contact you with the information provided within the next business day. Please leave a note in the comment section below and provide the best day and time frame to reach you.
Dr. Stout specializes in cosmetic laser eyelid procedures, with an expertise on Asian eyes, which account for one-third of the over 15,000 eyelid rejuvenations and enhancements (blepharoplasties) he has performed. He stands apart from other cosmetic surgeons in that he considers cosmetic procedures an art form and believes in the credo that it should enhance as opposed to alter the appearance of the patient.
We accept cash, personal checks, credit card, and CareCredit. CareCredit is an independent patient financing service available to those patients who wish to seek financing for aesthetic treatments. Please ask our office for information or an application. We do not provide our own payment programs or financing options.
Asian and Western eyelids naturally differ in appearance because the anatomy or structure of their eyelids are different. Asian blepharoplasty, also known as Asian eyelid surgery, is sometimes called a Westernization of Asian eyelids. However, that would be an inappropriate surgery and provide a very unnatural looking eyelid that would look out of place on an Asian face.
Like everyone, men are subject to the whims of genetics and time. Strong family traits are an example of genetics and factors such as age, health, and sun exposure are contributing factors over time. Sagging and puffy eyelids cause men to appear old, tired, and often sad. These changes alter people's perceptions of what someone is really like.

Dr. Stout and his entire staff are fabulous. They are patient and kind and very reassuring, and the results of my ptosis repair and blepharoplasty are amazing. Even 75 days later I still wake up each morning and my first thought as I open my eyes is "Wow - I can see so much". It took me 5 years to get up the courage to do the procedure -- I should have done it so much sooner.
No one but me seemed to notice that my eyelids were getting so droopy, but people now comment that I seem to have so much energy. I don't know if it was the effort it took to see before with droopy eyelids, or how much less light was getting in, but I feel much more perky! I definitely recommend the procedure, and I couldn't recommend Dr. Stout more highly. He cares about his patients, takes the time to answer every question and concern, and truly did a truly amazing job.

I love Dr Stout and his assistants. This has been a great experience for me. He is very calm, will take his time to go over the necessary exam and procedures, and will explain whatever he needs to do very thoroughly. No pressure at all. He is a great listener and a great surgeon. I would undoubtedly recommend his practice to anyone I know

Dr. Stout and his amazing staff are simply the best. I inquired with other physicians and did my homework and choosing Dr. Stout was a no brainer. My incredible physical transformation is stunning! I should have invested in myself years ago by having my uppers and lowers done. But the best result is that i can see so much better that i don't have to wear my reading glasses! Thank you Dr. Stout!

I first met Dr Stout at the surgery center where I work, several years ago. I never thought I would be bothered by my eyes but I developed fat prolapse under both my eyes, one worse than the other and the next thing I knew, I was seeing bags and it definitely aged my face. I had several colleagues tell me to consult with Dr Stout, that he was the man you could trust with such a delicate part of the anatomy. Furthermore, I wanted an oculoplastic surgeon that used the laser and not a lot of eye surgeons do. Dr. Stout has perfected his cosmetic laser eyelid procedures as he has been doing them for many years.
He has a well established practice and has very high standards when it comes to his surgeries and patient care. His staff are very professional and courteous. Basically, from the time I had the consultation to the last post op visit, it was the most pleasant experience I could have hoped for. Dr. Stout knows eyes and is an extremely competent and talented surgeon.
He and his staff are accessible to answer any and all questions if needed. The entire process went so smoothly and with minimal discomfort. I ended up having both my lower and upper lids done and honestly the results have been so amazing. Dr. Stout is also a gentleman and a very nice individual, easy to talk to. I highly recommend this talented, experienced surgeon to anyone looking for eyelid rejuvenation! I feel very fortunate that Dr Stout performed my surgery. Best wishes to Dr. Stout and staff!

I had done much research for my mom who was looking to have her under eye bags and upper lids done for years and was so glad that we went to Dr. Stout. Not only is he a perfectionist at what he does, but he truly cares about his patients and it shows. We scheduled an initial consultation within a week of calling and was able to secure an appointment.
His office is filled with surgical and university accolades which gave us assurance that we had picked the right surgeon. The whole process from consultation to day-of surgery for my mom was as smooth as they come. He made my mom feel comfortable and at ease that she had made the right decision. The surgery took a couple of hours and she was out the same day.
She was given instructions for day-of care at home which we followed for her religiously. The process like any surgery takes time and patience in order to see results and we are beyond happy with my mom's results. She feels more confident now than ever before and it literally took years off of her face. When I ask her if she would do it again, she says in a heart beat. Thank you sooo much Dr. Stout and his amazing team for the excellent care and work you did on my mom!

Dr. Stout and his team are amazing. From the beginning the administrative staff was welcoming and so easy to work with. Always available and accommodating. Then there is the charming Dr. Stout. He has such a disarming manner. He listens to what you want then makes suggestions. Glad I listened. Dr. Stout is a true artist and is focused on precision.
The best part was that there was NO PAIN. Providing the instructions given are followed to the letter The heal time quoted was spot on. After a week had the stitches removed and jumped on a plane right after the appointment. I am most grateful that the work done gave me a "have you been on vacation " look. The change is not exaggerated or obvious and only confirmed in the before and after photo. I plan on seeing Dr. Stout and his staff regularly as things start heading south.

This review is way overdue. I had my eyelids done by Dr. Stout last year. Dr. Stout is the guy you want for this procedure. He is a perfectionist and his work shows his incredible surgical skills. Fast forward a few months after my surgery and there was a tiny area on one eye that I thought needed a bit of tweaking. I made an appointment with Dr. Stout and he agreed as he is the perfectionist I mentioned above.
I was scheduled for the quick fix and I was charged zero for this correction. As expected, everything was perfect. Dr. Stout is not only a great surgeon, he is a terrific guy and very personable and easy to talk to. His staff Annette, Chantelle and his operating nurse are all top notch. You are in good hands!

First of, I'm not Peter, just using friend's acct as I hardly yelp. But Dr Stout is soooooooo amazing, I'm compelled to leave one. If you are looking to have your eyes done, please at least check out Dr Stout. Yes, you owe it to yourself. Today is the 2nd week post. I did mine on Halloween thinking I'd be a natural scare, lol. But sadly, Dr's orders was u need to be a couch patato.
No roaming.:- I wanted to scare the kids. Anyways, downtime is minimal. Pain is almost none. And Dr Stout is attentive, extremely courteous and informative. And most definitely highly skilled and experienced. On the third day post, with my eyes swollen and bruised, I can't help but smiled with excitement when I looked at the mirror. Damn! I looked good! Yup!
Even with the bruise! Lol! The under eye bags were gone, the hollowness is fuller. My upper eyelids no longer drooping over my lashes! Wow! And today, I bumped into someone while having breakfast and he goes "wow you put makeup on today!" Duh. Why would a guy say that? I dunno.but in my heart, I was laughing. Cos no, I don't use makeup, only lipstick.
And I proudly say to myself, I woke up like that! So yes, yes yes, go see Dr Stout if you want to brightens those eyes. No creams out there can help! I am soooo happy! Thanks Dr Stout!

Having worked in the medical field in Pasadena for 13 years, I'm lucky to have good information on our local physicians. Without question, Dr. Stout's artistic approach raises the bar for natural looking cosmetic enhancements. He is also a wonderful human being. Not surprisingly, I refer my own family to Dr. Stout's care. Following her eye surgery, my wife commented that she was surprised how much she enjoyed he entire overall experienced and especially Dr. Stout's easy going and relaxed personality. Moreover, there is no skin stretching or any unnatural appearance that would give away her surgery, and we are totally blown away by the "natural, refreshed, and well rested" looking results.

When I told my optometrist I was considering a lid lift he recommended Dr. Stout. Dr. Stout's background in ophthalmology was important to me because trusting someone with a laser and your eyes is pretty nerve-wracking. I also wanted a specialist, so the fact that he's entirely focused on oculofacial surgery (e.g. not doing eye lifts in between breast augmentations, liposuction, etc.) was a big plus for me.
Before my first appt. I did a fair amount of research so I knew going in that he has exceptional credentials and many happy patients. I met with Dr. Stout in June. He listens carefully and has a way of making you feel like you are his most important patient. He didn't push me to do additional procedures. (In fact, he told me I didn't need under eye or brow work, even though I brought it up.) I had my upper lid lift in July.
Two months out, I'm thrilled with the results. No more eyeliner smudged all over my lids because of saggy skin. I'm getting a lot of compliments along the lines of 'you look great' (as opposed to 'wow, your eyes!' which is kind of the point). I feel like I look refreshed and maybe a bit younger, but in a subtle, natural way. I feel so lucky to have found Dr. Stout. He is truly an artist. Clearly from my review, I recommend him without hesitation.

Dr. Stout is extremely confident and has a great track record. His office is very professional. Unfortunately, he didn't fix my problem and I now have to look into other options. The one thing that concerned me is that he never actually admitted that he didn't know how to fix it. My advice is to get several opinions and also look into a few Beverly Hills physicians.

Dr. Stout is great at what he does. No doubt eye surgery is as much an art form as a medical procedure. I had expected good results, but what I hadn't expected was such a personal experience. There's nothing quite like a doctor that can explain everything to you but can also crack a joke and spend some time getting to know you. It's something that is missing in alot of practices and it was really refreshing to find that Dr. Stout truly takes a personal interest in his patients.
If you have a question or an issue, the staff is quick to get you in and the doctor is more than accomodating. He has no qualms about fitting you in if you think you might have an issue - from his mouth "better to know it's really nothing and have piece of mind". In this day in age when medicine has turned into somewhat of a converyor belt system of get them in, make them wait and get them out, it's fabulous to have an experience with a doctor and his staff that is truly centered around his patients. I can't speak highly enough about Dr. Stout and his office.
