Eyelid Lift Before & After Case 35

This patient pursued an eyelid lift in Santa Rosa to address persistent concerns with under-eye bags and excess skin above the eyes. She felt these features contributed to a tired, older appearance. Additionally, the hooding of her upper eyelids not only affected her ability to apply makeup but also began to interfere with her vision. The patient sought a rejuvenated, more alert look while maintaining natural eyelid movement and function.

Dr. Greg Chernoff performed both upper and lower blepharoplasty for this patient. Using state-of-the-art laser technology, he created incisions for the upper eyelid lift and accessed the lower eyelid internally, leaving no visible scars. This laser approach helps seal blood vessels during surgery, which reduces bleeding and swelling and can speed up recovery. Dr. Chernoff also uses special measuring tools during the procedure to ensure the precise amount of skin is removed, supporting natural eyelid closure.

After the eyelid lift, the patient noticed a refreshed appearance and brighter eyes with smoother contours. She reported that the heaviness above her eyes had improved, easing cosmetic concerns and enhancing her visual field. In some cases, patients with reduced skin elasticity may still notice fine lines or texture beneath the eyes after blepharoplasty. For these concerns, Dr. Chernoff may recommend additional treatments such as radiofrequency microneedling to further refine results.

Dr. Chernoff is board-certified by the American Board of Facial, Plastic, and Reconstructive Surgery, among other authorities, and has advanced fellowship training in both surgical and laser techniques. For patients considering an eyelid lift in Santa Rosa, Dr. Chernoff brings a combination of technical precision, innovative laser approaches, and personalized care to achieve rejuvenation without sacrifice of function or safety.
