Eyelid Lift Before & After Case 174

This patient sought an Eyelid Lift in Santa Rosa to address concerns with excess upper eyelid skin and to correct noticeable asymmetry between her eyes. The heaviness above her eyelids created a persistent tired look, while one side exhibited more pronounced hooding than the other. Early signs of puffiness under her eyes, caused by descending fat pads, led her to consider a lower eyelid procedure as well to prevent further changes and potential need for future surgeries.

During her consultation, the patient and Dr. Greg Chernoff discussed a comprehensive surgical approach, including both upper and lower blepharoplasty. Dr. Chernoff used a laser to create precise incisions, resulting in reduced bleeding and swelling. For the lower eyelids, he made incisions on the inner surface, leaving no visible scars. The use of specialized tools helped ensure just the right amount of skin was removed, so natural eyelid function was preserved. Recovery was smoother, which is a benefit of Dr. Chernoff’s laser technique.

After surgery, this patient’s eyes appeared more open and rested. The heaviness and asymmetry improved significantly, and her lower eyelids no longer showed the early signs of puffiness. While removing under-eye fat pads can reveal fine lines or crepey skin, additional treatments such as Morpheus8 microneedling with radiofrequency are sometimes recommended for further refinement.

Dr. Chernoff’s patients benefit from his triple-board certification and advanced laser expertise when seeking an Eyelid Lift in Santa Rosa. His meticulous surgical skills and commitment to natural-looking results support a high standard of care and patient satisfaction.
