Eyelid Lift Before & After Case 19

This patient sought an eyelid lift in Santa Rosa after experiencing heaviness and hooding of the upper eyelids. The excess skin, especially pronounced over her left eye, not only made makeup application difficult but also began to interfere with her vision. She wanted a procedure that could address the functional and cosmetic challenges while minimizing downtime.

Greg Chernoff, MD, performed an upper eyelid lift, also called upper blepharoplasty. Using his proprietary laser technique rather than a traditional scalpel, he created a precise incision in the upper eyelid to remove excess skin. This approach reduces bruising and bleeding, which can help speed recovery when compared to standard techniques. During surgery, Dr. Chernoff used specialized tools to ensure the correct amount of skin was removed, maintaining natural eyelid closure and symmetry.

The photos above show her results just seven days after surgery. Visible improvement in eyelid contour and symmetry can be noted. The final results from eyelid lift in Santa Rosa will continue to improve in the weeks ahead as swelling resolves and incisions fade. Dr. Chernoff educates patients that in some instances, drooping of the upper eyelid may also involve the brow or forehead, for which a brow lift may be indicated.

Patients seeking an eyelid lift in Santa Rosa can trust Dr. Chernoff’s extensive experience in facial plastic surgery and innovative laser therapies. He combines board certification, fellowship training, and meticulous surgical skill to offer comprehensive care and natural-appearing results.
