Educated at the University of California, Los Angeles, Dr. Shorr has spent his career studying how facial aging affects the eyelids, brow, forehead, and midface. His half-century of practice places him among the more established surgeons working in this specialized field.
He holds a position as a Clinical Professor of Ophthalmology, an academic role that connects clinical practice with teaching and mentorship. The Norman Shorr Lectureship at the UCLA Stein Eye Institute reflects the influence of his work within his professional community.
Dr. Shorr's practice centers on the eyes and the surrounding facial framework — an area where millimeters matter. His listed specialties include eyelid lift surgery (blepharoplasty), aesthetic lateral canthoplasty (tightening and shaping the outer corner of the eye), and cosmetic eyelid procedures.
Beyond cosmetic work, Dr. Shorr is experienced in reconstructive eyelid procedures, including corrections after prior surgery. His clinical focus extends to lower eyelid retraction management, round eye management, and scleral show — conditions where the lower lid sits too low and exposes white below the iris.
His surgical repertoire also includes eyebrow procedures, forehead procedures, and midface procedures. These regions are closely connected to the eyes, and treating them together allows for a more balanced, natural approach to facial rejuvenation.
Dr. Shorr approaches the face as an interconnected system rather than a set of isolated features. When the brow, midface, and eyelids are considered together, the result tends to look more harmonious and less operated upon.
A deep plane facelift is a technique that lifts and repositions the deeper facial tissues rather than simply tightening the skin. For patients considering this or related midface rejuvenation, an anatomy-driven surgeon with deep familiarity of the facial layers can be an important consideration.
Dr. Shorr's reconstructive background is notable because it prepares a surgeon for complex cases — including revisions of previous surgery performed elsewhere. This kind of problem-solving experience often develops over decades rather than years.
Recovery from facial surgery is a process that unfolds over weeks and months, and Dr. Shorr's practice is oriented toward guiding patients through that timeline with realistic expectations. Thoughtful preparation and follow-up are central to the experience at the Shorr FACE Institute.
The practice is located on North Roxbury Drive in Beverly Hills, an area long associated with specialized aesthetic and reconstructive care. Patients traveling from a distance can find nearby accommodation and straightforward access from Los Angeles International Airport.
Dr. Shorr's publications and academic contributions reflect a career spent refining techniques in eyelid and periorbital surgery. This scholarly dimension distinguishes surgeons who both practice and contribute to the evolution of their field.
For women in their fifties and sixties considering eyelid, brow, or midface rejuvenation, Dr. Shorr offers a combination of long experience and a specialty focus on the eye region. His work reflects an understanding that the eyes are often the first place facial aging becomes visible.

Dr. Norman Shorr approaches facial rejuvenation through the lens of oculoplastic surgery, meaning his methodology is grounded in the precise anatomy of the eyes, brow, and midface. This specialty perspective informs how he considers deeper-tissue procedures such as the deep plane facelift.
A deep plane facelift works beneath the SMAS — the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a layer of muscle and connective tissue that sits between the skin and the deeper facial structures. Rather than pulling on the skin, this technique repositions the deeper tissue layers as a unit.
