Justin Karlin, MD, MS is an ABO board-certified ophthalmologist and ASOPRS-certified oculofacial plastic surgeon. His training is narrow by design: the eyelids, brow, midface, and the structures that govern how the eye looks at rest and in expression.
As an Assistant Professor at UCLA's Stein & Doheny Eye Institutes and Co-Chair of the Aesthetic Eyelid & Facial Rejuvenation Masters Course, he teaches the techniques he practices — anatomy first, restraint always, identity preserved.
Three rules govern every operation.
The plan is customized to each patient.
Every plan starts with the structure beneath the skin — orbit, septum, fat, and ligaments — not with a fixed idea of the result.
The objective is a rested eye, not an altered one. The smallest correction that holds is the right one; the rest is left alone.
Movement and identity are protected. The face still reads as yours — only less tired, never operated-on.
Focused surgical work, named plainly.
A small set of procedures, performed often. No brochure catalog — only the operations this practice is built around.

What does an oculofacial plastic surgeon do?

He is also an Assistant Professor at UCLA's Stein & Doheny Eye Institutes. Credentials and verification links are listed on the about page.
