Eyelid Lift Before & After Case 37

This patient sought an eyelid lift in Santa Rosa due to concerns about heavy, hooded lids and developing puffiness under her eyes. Over time, she noticed that excess upper eyelid skin was making her appear tired and worried that her vision might be impacted in the future. She also observed early separation of the fat pads below her eyes and a drooping brow, which contributed to a stern, aged look. To achieve comprehensive rejuvenation and address all areas of concern, she elected to undergo both upper and lower eyelid surgery, as well as a brow lift.

During her procedure, Dr. Greg Chernoff performed an upper and lower blepharoplasty using a precise laser technique. For the lower eyelids, internal incisions avoided visible scars or external stitches. Laser technology was also used on the upper lids to help seal blood vessels and minimize bruising and swelling, supporting a smoother recovery. Dr. Chernoff uses specialized tools during surgery to ensure the correct amount of skin is removed, helping the eyes close naturally after healing. An endoscopic brow lift was included to correct forehead muscle descent and restore the brow to a natural, refreshed position.

Following surgery, this patient experienced restoration of her natural eyelid contour. The heaviness above her eyes was reduced, puffiness below the eyes was minimized, and her brow position was improved. As with any eyelid lift in Santa Rosa, some patients may benefit from additional therapies, such as radiofrequency microneedling, to further enhance under-eye texture. Results for this patient appear natural, with improved eye openness and a softer, more rested expression.

Dr. Chernoff is triple board-certified and has completed advanced fellowship training in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. His approach combines extensive experience, advanced laser technology, and innovative measurement techniques to achieve consistent, natural-looking outcomes for patients seeking an eyelid lift in Santa Rosa.
