Eyelid Lift Before & After Case 394

This patient chose to undergo an eyelid lift in Santa Rosa to address both functional and cosmetic concerns. She reported that excess upper eyelid skin was affecting her vision, especially on one side, resulting in noticeable asymmetry. Her main goal was to achieve a more symmetrical, open appearance that would better showcase her brown eyes, which she felt were concealed by the drooping lids.

During the procedure, Dr. Greg Chernoff performed an upper blepharoplasty using laser technology. Unlike a scalpel, the laser helps minimize bruising and bleeding, which may contribute to a faster recovery time. To ensure optimal symmetry and protect eyelid function, Dr. Chernoff used a specialized tool to precisely measure how much skin to remove. Post-operative outcomes show improved upper lid contour, enhanced symmetry, and a more alert eye appearance. The patient experienced restored vision and a brighter periorbital area.

It is important to note that while an eyelid lift can address excess skin, it does not change the underlying skin quality. Patients with fine lines, crepiness, or wrinkles around the eyes may wish to explore additional treatments, such as Botox or Morpheus8 microneedling with radiofrequency, to further smooth and tighten the skin.

Dr. Chernoff’s approach to eyelid lift in Santa Rosa combines advanced laser technique with careful assessment of each patient’s unique anatomy. Board certified in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, he uses precision tools and individualized planning to achieve natural, functional outcomes. His training and experience help ensure patient safety while addressing both medical and aesthetic needs.
