Eyelid Lift Before & After Case 243

This patient sought an eyelid lift in Santa Rosa due to concerns about excess upper eyelid skin, puffiness under the eyes, and the downward position of her brows. She found that excess skin caused mascara to transfer onto her upper eyelids and made the application of makeup difficult. Over time, the hooding above her eyes also began to affect her vision. The patient noted that the fullness below her eyes, due to age-related fat pad changes, resulted in a persistently tired expression. She felt that her lower-set brows gave her a stern appearance that did not reflect her actual personality.

For the above patient, Dr. Greg Chernoff performed a comprehensive upper and lower blepharoplasty, commonly known as an eyelid lift, in Santa Rosa. Using advanced laser techniques, he made an incision on the upper eyelid and addressed puffiness below the eyes via an incision inside the lower eyelid. This approach eliminated any visible scars or external stitches on the lower lids. Dr. Chernoff also performed an endoscopic brow lift to restore the natural position of the brows. Together, these procedures aimed to give the patient a more rested and approachable appearance. Doctor Chernoff also performed a lower facelift. While the after photos focus on the area above her nose, there are visible improvements in the mid-face and cheeks due to the additional procedure.

In choosing an eyelid lift in Santa Rosa, this patient prioritized both function and aesthetics. After recovery, she noticed clearer vision, less makeup transfer, and a softer, more approachable expression. The outcome aligned with her goals for a refreshed appearance without dramatic changes.

Dr. Chernoff’s use of a state-of-the-art laser assists with sealing blood vessels as incisions are made, meaning less bleeding and faster healing for patients undergoing an eyelid lift in Santa Rosa. His precise approach, including custom measurements for each patient, helps ensure natural results and maintains normal eyelid function. With board certifications in both facial plastic and reconstructive surgery and otolaryngology, Dr. Chernoff brings a high level of expertise and patient-centered care to every procedure he performs.
