Eyelid Lift Before & After Case 172

This patient sought an Eyelid Lift in Santa Rosa to address heaviness and excess skin above their eyes. The excess tissue made their eyes feel weighed down and presented challenges when applying makeup. Their primary goal was to achieve a more open, refreshed appearance while maintaining a natural look that complemented their features.

During the consultation, Dr. Greg Chernoff reviewed the patient's concerns and discussed surgical options. He recommended an upper blepharoplasty, commonly known as an eyelid lift. For incision and tissue removal, Dr. Chernoff used a laser rather than a traditional scalpel. This technique helped seal blood vessels, resulting in less bleeding and swelling after surgery. The use of precise measurement tools ensured that only the right amount of skin was removed, preserving proper eyelid function.

Recovery times tend to be shorter with Dr. Chernoff’s laser approach. In this case, the patient reported less bruising and a more comfortable healing experience. After full recovery, the patient's eyes appear brighter and more open, with reduced puffiness and smoother contours.
