Eyelid Lift Before & After Case 148

This patient pursued an eyelid lift in Santa Rosa after noticing persistent puffiness beneath her eyes. She reported that makeup alone could not conceal the under-eye bags, which contributed to a tired appearance despite feeling well-rested. With similar under-eye concerns present in her family, she recognized a genetic component and sought a lasting solution through surgery.

During her consultation, the patient learned that lower blepharoplasty could address the visible under-eye bags by removing the fat pads. Dr. Greg Chernoff performed her procedure using a laser-assisted technique. This method allowed him to make an incision from inside the lower eyelid, resulting in no visible scarring or external stitches. The technology also sealed blood vessels as the incision was made, which minimized swelling and decreased recovery time compared to traditional approaches.

Following the procedure, the patient experienced a reduction in under-eye puffiness and reported increased satisfaction with her appearance. It’s important to note that some patients may still see fine lines or wrinkles postoperatively, which can be treated with adjunct therapies such as Morpheus8 microneedling combined with radiofrequency. Dr. Chernoff educates each patient on these options to help them reach their desired outcomes.

Dr. Chernoff, board-certified by The American Board of Facial, Plastic, and Reconstructive Surgery and The American Board of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, offers advanced laser-based eyelid lift in Santa Rosa to achieve natural-looking results.
