Eyelid Lift Before & After Case 269

This patient chose to have an eyelid lift in Santa Rosa after noticing persistent puffiness and bags under their eyes. The concern was both aesthetic—feeling as though their appearance always seemed tired and aged—and functional, due to the heaviness that sometimes accompanied the under-eye fullness. After a consultation, they and Dr. Greg Chernoff decided that a lower blepharoplasty using a laser-assisted technique would be the best approach.

The eyelid lift procedure was performed without visible external incisions or stitches. Dr. Chernoff accessed the fat pads from within the lower eyelid, using a specialized state-of-the-art laser. This technology allowed him to safely remove excess tissue while minimizing bleeding and swelling by sealing off blood vessels during the procedure. The patient experienced a controlled recovery period, with noticeably less bruising and a faster return to normal activities compared to traditional blepharoplasty.

After healing, the patient’s under-eye area appeared smoother and more rested, with very little visible sign of surgery. While some patients may still have fine lines or mild skin laxity following fat pad removal, options like Morpheus8 microneedling with radiofrequency are available at Dr. Chernoff’s Santa Rosa practice to further address these concerns, tailored to each individual's skin needs.

Dr. Chernoff brings triple-board certification and extensive fellowship training to every eyelid lift in Santa Rosa. By combining advanced laser techniques with careful evaluation, he aims to deliver results that are both natural and rejuvenating for each patient.
