Eyelid Lift Before & After Case 20

This patient chose to have an eyelid lift in Santa Rosa due to visible puffiness and bags under her eyes. She often felt that these concerns contributed to an appearance of being more tired and older than she actually was. Her primary motivation was to achieve a refreshed look, helping her feel more confident in both social and professional settings. After discussing her goals and options, she elected to proceed with a lower blepharoplasty.

During the procedure, Dr. Greg Chernoff employed a laser-assisted technique, creating an incision on the inner side of the patient's lower eyelid. This approach leaves no visible scars or stitches. The use of a state-of-the-art laser enables Dr. Chernoff to seal small blood vessels as he works, which reduces swelling and bleeding during recovery. The patient appreciated the minimal downtime associated with her surgery, noting that swelling and bruising resolved quickly and with less discomfort than she expected.

Following the surgery, the patient saw a marked improvement in the smoothness and contour of her lower eyelids. The puffiness was corrected, giving her a more rested and youthful look. Some patients may develop fine lines or crepiness after under-eye fat removal, depending on individual skin elasticity. For sustained results, Dr. Chernoff often recommends targeted treatments such as Morpheus8 microneedling with radiofrequency to enhance the skin’s appearance.

Dr. Chernoff, a triple board-certified facial plastic surgeon, is recognized for his use of advanced laser techniques in eyelid surgery. His specialized training enables him to offer patients in Santa Rosa options for eyelid lifts with reduced recovery times and natural results. Patients value his experience and individualized approach to care.
