👁️ 1 Week Post-Op: Bilateral Levator Ptosis Repair

This patient presented with upper eyelid drooping that was affecting both her vision and appearance.

The culprit? The muscle that elevates the upper lid! Over time, it can weaken or even slip loose. Dr. Bearden reattaches the muscle in the proper position to elevate the upper lids and restore a more open, symmetrical gaze.

At just 1 week post-op, she's already healing beautifully. Swelling will continue to improve over the coming weeks!

This lovely patient in her 70s was having difficulty with daily activities due to the heaviness of her upper lids. Many patients notice that tasks like reading or driving (especially in the evening) become more challenging over time.

Dr. Bearden performed a bilateral upper eyelid blepharoplasty to remove excess skin and restore comfort, visibility, and a refreshed appearance - while carefully preserving the natural shape and character of her eyes. It’s important to choose a provider who understands and respects the natural variations in eyelid anatomy across all ethnicities.

Here she is just 1 week post-op, already showing beautiful results! Swelling and incision lines will continue to improve in the weeks ahead.

✨ Brighter, smoother, more refreshed. ✨

This patient underwent bilateral lower lid blepharoplasty with fat transfer and laser resurfacing to restore volume, smooth texture, and reduce under-eye hollows.

Lower lid bleph with fat transfer softens under-eye hollowing and restores volume! Using your own fat, this is a permanent solution. By addressing the transition between the lower lids and upper cheeks (the lid-cheek junction), we achieved a smoother, more harmonious contour through this area. Her results look natural, and now she has a beautiful balance restored to the midface.

Xanthalasma is caused by cholesterol deposits in the skin. It is sometimes associated with high cholesterol or high lipids, so if you have xanthalasma, definitely get your blood work checked!

Options for removal include excision, laser resurfacing, and TCA peels. Since I’ve found the cholesterol often deposits into the muscle layer, my preferred technique is excision when possible although ablative erbium laser resurfacing is a great option too. - Dr. Langelier

This patient had a 4-lid blepharoplasty, fat transfer, lower lid laser resurfacing, and internal brow fixation.

In her before, you’ll notice upper lid heaviness + excess skin, under-eye fat pad protrusion creating shadows, and crepey skin texture. In her after, she looks more balanced and light reflectivity has been restored to a more aesthetic contour.

Swelling and pinkness are normal at this stage, final results continue to refine for several months.

Performed by Dr. Bearden, board-certified oculofacial plastic surgeon.

Drooping upper eyelids and sagging lower eyelids affected his vision, made his eyes feel dry, and let tears drip down his cheeks. He’s now seeing and feeling so much better just a week later! Minimal bruising due to his great diligence with his post op care, our use of the CO2 laser for laser assisted surgery, and just a little bit of luck. 😉 So glad to be able to help him!

This lovely patient is only 1 week out from eyelid surgery. For this patient excessive fat was removed and some of the fat was repositioned into the area of hollowing. The lines on the lower cheeks are temporary depressions from the sutures and tape used to reposition the fat and will fade quickly. Beautiful!!
