Eyelid Lift Before & After Case 32

This patient sought an eyelid lift in Santa Rosa due to concerns about visible under-eye bags and excess upper eyelid skin. She felt these changes made her appear more tired and older than she felt. Her main goal was to achieve a refreshed, more awake appearance without looking overdone.

For this case, Dr. Greg Chernoff performed both upper and lower blepharoplasty using a specialized laser technique. The upper eyelid lift involved a laser-created incision to remove excess skin, carefully measured to preserve function and natural appearance. The lower blepharoplasty was performed with incisions placed on the inner eyelid, resulting in no visible external scars. Using the laser allowed Dr. Chernoff to seal blood vessels during surgery, which helped minimize bruising and swelling and can lead to faster recovery compared to traditional methods.

After the procedure, the patient noticed a marked improvement in the contour and openness of her eyes. The under-eye bags had been removed, and the hooded skin above was lifted, giving her a brighter, more alert look. In some cases, additional treatments such as Morpheus8 microneedling with radiofrequency are recommended to further address fine lines and skin texture under the eyes, depending on individual skin elasticity.

Dr. Chernoff is a board-certified facial plastic surgeon with decades of specialized training in laser therapy and reconstructive techniques. For patients considering an eyelid lift in Santa Rosa, his innovative use of laser technology and commitment to precise, natural results set his practice apart.
