Eyelid Lift Before & After Case 26

This patient sought out an eyelid lift in Santa Rosa due to concerns about heavy upper lid skin and persistent under-eye bags. The excess skin was leading to increasing difficulty with vision and daily activities such as applying makeup. Like many individuals, she experienced visible fat pads under the eyes—a common effect of both genetics and age—that contributed to a tired appearance.

The procedure, performed by Dr. Greg Chernoff, addressed both the upper and lower eyelids. For the upper lids, he used a precise laser-assisted technique to remove the excess skin, helping to relieve the hooding and improve her visual field. The lower eyelid fat pads were reduced through an incision placed inside the lower eyelid. This approach avoids visible scars and stitches. Using laser technology also minimized bleeding and swelling, which supported a smoother recovery process.

Following the eyelid lift in Santa Rosa, this patient noted significant improvement in both the function and appearance of her eyes. Her upper eyelids appear more open, and the heavy, puffy look beneath her eyes has diminished. While some fine lines or mild skin texture changes can remain after fat pad reduction, patients like her may consider additional non-surgical treatments, such as Morpehus 8 microneedling with radiofrequency, to further refine results.

Dr. Chernoff brings triple board certification and advanced fellowship training to every eyelid procedure. His meticulous techniques and experience with laser technology help provide natural-looking outcomes with reduced downtime. For those considering an eyelid lift in Santa Rosa, Dr. Chernoff emphasizes individualized treatment planning to achieve balanced and refreshed results.
