Eyelid Lift Before & After Case 241

This patient sought an Eyelid Lift in Santa Rosa to address persistent concerns about excess upper eyelid skin and hooding. She had previously tried enhancing her appearance with false eyelashes. However, she desired a more lasting and effective solution. The quality of the skin underneath her eyes, as well as subtle fullness that makeup could not conceal, also motivated her decision to pursue surgery.

Dr. Greg Chernoff performed a comprehensive upper and lower blepharoplasty. For the lower eyelids, he used a transconjunctival approach, making the incision on the inner part of the eyelid for an undetectable result. No external stitches were required. The upper eyelids were addressed with a laser-assisted incision. This method is designed to minimize bruising, swelling and bleeding—factors that often extend the recovery process in traditional approaches. Dr. Chernoff used advanced measuring tools to ensure the proper amount of skin was removed while maintaining normal eyelid function.

To further improve the skin’s appearance, Dr. Chernoff performed CO2 laser resurfacing beneath the patient’s eyes. This explains the subtle pink undertone visible in her post-procedure photos, which is new skin that continues to mature and fade to normal over time. Together, these treatments have provided her with smoother skin and a more open, refreshed appearance.
