💫 “Am I Too Old for a Blepharoplasty?” 💫

This is one of the most common questions we hear — and it always makes us smile.

Because you are never too old to want to feel like yourself again.

For some patients, eyelid surgery isn’t just about looking younger — it’s about seeing the world more clearly, feeling confident in photos, and recognizing the person in the mirror again.

Many of our patients in their 60s, 70s, and even 80s tell us the same thing after surgery:
👉 “I wish I hadn’t waited so long.”

It’s not about turning back the clock — it’s about feeling open, bright, and confident at any age.

👀 Before vs. After… what a difference!
Her eyes were once weighed down by heavy lids. After upper and lower eyelid surgery, she sees the world more clearly — and the world sees her more clearly too. ✨

With her eyes more open, she not only has better vision, but she feels refreshed, youthful, and full of confidence again. 💫

It’s not just about how you look — it’s about how you feel when you look in the mirror.

Teamwork + learning = the best kind of work trip! ✈️🌴 Our crew had an amazing time at the Yellow Telescope Seminar in Boca Raton this week, gaining new insights, connecting with colleagues, and (of course) enjoying a little sunshine together. Grateful for a team that’s always excited to learn and grow—both inside and outside the OR! 💙👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️

✨ Goodbye to fillers, hello to lasting results! ✨
This beautiful patient was tired of the cycle of under-eye filler. Instead, we created a more natural, long-term solution with lower lid surgery (blepharoplasty), fat repositioning/injection, and laser resurfacing.
The result? A refreshed, smoother, and brighter look — without the constant touch-ups of filler.

💫 No more shadows.
💫 No more filler fatigue.
💫 Just timeless, natural rejuvenation.
💫 Results that look natural, youthful, and most importantly — like her.

Sometimes the best choice is stepping away from quick fixes and choosing something that gives freedom and long-term confidence. 💕

Surgeon show and tell!
I had such a special experience yesterday—watching another surgeon in the operating room and learning from the way he works. 🙌 No matter how long you’ve been in practice, there’s always something new to pick up: a little technique, a new perspective, or even just a reminder of why we love what we do.
Grateful for Dr Manish Shah and Dr Ariel Johnson, who were generous with their time and knowledge—it makes me a better surgeon😷, and most importantly, it helps me take even better care of my patients. 💙

✨ Bright eyes, refreshed look ✨
This patient wanted to address her under-eye bags, dark under eye circles, and crepey lower eyelid skin. I removed some the excess fat causing the puffiness and used some of the fat to fill the under eye hollows. I also added laser resurfacing for smooth her lower lid wrinkles and improve the discoloration of her under eye dark circles.

The result? A natural, rested, and rejuvenated appearance — without changing her unique features.
👀 Procedures: Lower eyelid surgery + laser resurfacing
⏱️ Recovery: Just a couple weeks of downtime for results that last for years
Natural results. Confident patients. That’s always the goal. 💫

We loved having Jenn Gomez RN, BSN, CLS with us in the OR yesterday! 🌟 She took time out of her busy schedule to come watch surgeries and learn more about the anatomy behind what we do. It’s always such a privilege to share knowledge with and learn from colleagues who are so passionate about their craft.

Thank you Jenn for visiting and for the amazing care you give your patients—we’re lucky to call you a friend and colleague! 💉🤝👍

🇺🇸 Never Forget 🇺🇸

Today we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, nearly a quarter century ago. The collage of the twin towers is made from the faces of the heroes who ran toward danger, the passengers who fought to take back their plane, and the helpless victims.
Today we remember them and the families forever changed. May we honor their memory with gratitude, unity, and a renewed commitment to never take our freedoms for granted.

✨ Before & After ✨⁣
This beautiful young patient underwent a lower lid blepharoplasty combined with fat injections to the cheeks and nanofat treatment for under-eye dark circles — a powerful trio for refreshing the eyes and restoring youthful volume.⁣

By carefully addressing under-eye bags and volume loss in the midface, we achieved a more rested, natural look — without changing her unique features.⁣

🩺 Procedure highlights:
✔️ Lower lid blepharoplasty to remove excess fat & tighten the lid
✔️ Fat transfer to cheeks for natural, long-lasting volume
✔️ Nanofat to improve skin quality & pigmentation under the eyes⁣

📸 Swipe to see this elegant transformation from tired to bright-eyed.⁣

The postop photos were taken few months after surgery, but the nano fat will continue to improve her dark circles for up to a year after surgery.

It’s not the product, it’s the injector‼️

Well placed filler shouldn’t cause pillow face. The above diagram shows how little volume even 3 cc of filler provides.

When performed thoughtfully, dermal fillers should enhance, not distort. The “pillow face” look is not the result of filler itself, but of overcorrection and excessive product placement.

If your injector is injecting huge volumes or repeating injections at set intervals regardless of whether you need repeat injections, it may be time to look elsewhere 👋

Conservative volumes, placed in the correct anatomical planes, respect natural proportions and restore youthful contours without creating heaviness🎯. By addressing support, balance, and harmony, filler can refresh a face while maintaining its unique character.

The goal is not to change how you look, but to help you look like a well-rested, healthy version of yourself.

Chat Gpt fail!
So I tried to get Chat Gpt to make a picture of me… and let’s just say it still can’t get it right. 🤖🎨
Funny how it can mimic styles, colors, and vibes, but when it comes to creating a truly realistic image of me, it misses the mark. Just a reminder that technology is powerful, but it’s not human.

I think my job is safe…for now😂
