Eyelid Lift Before & After Case 25

This patient sought an eyelid lift in Santa Rosa to address bags and puffiness under her eyes. The changes had become more prominent with age, though a family history of under-eye fat pads also played a role. She was interested in a natural-looking rejuvenation and wanted to minimize signs of fatigue, which under-eye bags often accentuate. The patient hoped to achieve a refreshed appearance without obvious surgical traces.

Dr. Greg Chernoff performed a lower eyelid lift (blepharoplasty) using an advanced laser technique. The incision was placed inside the lower eyelid, so there were no visible scars or stitches. This laser-assisted approach reduced bleeding and swelling, supporting a smoother recovery. Along with the eyelid lift, the patient also underwent a facelift, resulting in subtle improvements to the upper cheek contour visible in the photos.

Post-procedure, the patient’s under-eye bags were removed, resulting in a more rested and youthful look. With the fat pads addressed, fine lines and skin texture under the eyes may still remain if elasticity is limited; for these concerns, additional treatments like Morpheus8 microneedling with radiofrequency are often recommended for further enhancement.

As a triple board-certified facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Chernoff uses evidence-based, patient-centered techniques to deliver consistent results. His expertise in laser therapy and combination surgical approaches allows him to tailor each eyelid lift in Santa Rosa for natural facial harmony and optimal recovery.
