Worried about heading to higher elevation after eyelid surgery? You don’t have to be. ✨

After blepharoplasty, most patients can safely return to elevation with a few simple precautions — like avoiding exertion and following your surgeon’s guidance.

Healing doesn’t have to mean putting your life completely on hold.

Have questions about recovery? A consultation with Denver area oculoplastic surgeon and ASOPRS member Dr. Michael McCracken can help you feel confident every step of the way.

Your eyes 👀 are often the first thing people notice—and over time, they can also be the first place aging quietly shows up.

Heavy upper lids, under-eye bags, and a tired appearance don’t always reflect how you actually feel. That’s where blepharoplasty can be transformative. By carefully reshaping the upper and/or lower eyelids, this procedure can restore a more rested, youthful look—without changing what makes you you.

The goal isn’t to look “done.” It’s to look refreshed. Awake. Like you again on your best day.

But here’s the reality: eyelid surgery is nuanced. Millimeters matter. Over-resection, poor brow assessment, or ignoring facial balance can lead to unnatural results. That’s why choosing a true eyelid specialist is critical.

If you’re considering this procedure, trust your eyes to someone who focuses on them every day—like Denver-area ASOPRS member Dr. Michael McCracken.

Subtle changes. Powerful impact.

Grateful to have had aesthetic physician Dr Micah Craig from in the OR observing cases yesterday. There’s something powerful about doctors learning side by side—sharing techniques, perspectives, and sharing challenges to ultimately make a big difference for patients.
Appreciate you taking the time to join me. Days like this are a reminder that even with experience, we all continue to learn from each other.

✨She didn’t want to look “done.” She just didn’t want to look so tired anymore.

Heavy upper eyelids were making her feel like her reflection didn’t match how she actually felt inside. Her goal was simple: look refreshed, natural, and like herself.

After her upper eyelid blepharoplasty, the change was subtle—but powerful.

The best part? A coworker recently told her, “You look so refreshed.”
No one could quite tell why… and that’s exactly what she wanted.

That one comment made her entire day ✨

Natural. Rested. Confident.
Sometimes the smallest changes make the biggest difference.

Trust your eyelids to an eyelid expert. Trust your eyelids to an ASOPRS member.

✨Rediscover Your Best Self with Blepharoplasty Surgery✨

There is nothing quite like the feeling of looking in the mirror and seeing a reflection that finally matches the energy and vitality you feel on the inside.

I recently had the pleasure of seeing a patient’s incredible transformation following a customized upper and lower blepharoplasty. Before her procedure, she felt that heavy upper lids and under-eye bags made her look tired—even after a full night’s sleep.

The Result?
🎯A naturally refreshed, “well-rested” look that highlights her eyes without looking “done.” Most importantly, she has regained the confidence to step out into the world feeling vibrant and renewed.

Why Choose an ASOPRS Specialist?
When it comes to your eyes, expertise matters. A fellowship-trained member of the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ASOPRS) specializes exclusively in the delicate structures of the eyelids and face, combining the precision of ophthalmology with the artistry of plastic surgery.

Celebrating our intern’s last day on service the right way 🍕

We wrapped things up with a well-earned pizza lunch and a lot of appreciation for all the hard work Dr. Moritz brought to the team. It’s been a pleasure having him with us—his dedication, positive attitude, and commitment to patient care made a real impact.

Wishing Dr. Moritz all the best as he heads into his remaining rotations and on to finish residency in Miami. Bright things ahead! 👏

Spring break in Beaver Creek was exactly what we needed—time to slow down, recharge, and just enjoy being together as a family. ⛷️💙
The snow wasn’t perfect, but honestly… that didn’t matter. We made the most of every run, every laugh, and every moment off the mountain. From cozy mornings to fun-filled afternoons, it was all about being present and making memories.

I am also coming to grips with the ide of having a snowboarder in the house🏂

Sometimes it’s not about the conditions—it’s about the company. And this trip delivered. 🙌

Already looking forward to the next one.

Always great to have colleagues in the OR😀
Today I had the pleasure of hosting a Dr Mike Moritz and Melanie Palmer FNP-C to observe surgery and exchange ideas. These visits are always a two-way street—sharing techniques, discussing nuances, and pushing each other to refine our craft.
Appreciate the opportunity to collaborate and contribute to advancing patient care together. 👁️✨

She didn’t just refresh her look—she restored what time had quietly taken away.
This patient came in bothered by under-eye bags, hollow cheeks, and persistent dark circles that made her look tired no matter how she felt. Her transformation focused on subtle, natural restoration:
• Lower lid blepharoplasty to remove under-eye bags
• Fat transfer to bring back youthful cheek volume
• Laser skin resurfacing to improve skin quality and brighten dark circles
The result? Smoother contours, brighter eyes, and a rested, more youthful appearance—without looking “done.”
Performed by eyelid specialist and ASOPRS member Michael McCracken, MD, this outcome highlights what precision and expertise can achieve when every detail matters.
Refreshed. Natural. Confident.

Puppies at a meeting 😀

What an incredible time in Orlando for the NexTech Edge meeting! ☀️ It was an honor to participate as a Key Opinion Leader and engage with so many brilliant minds in our field.

Some highlights included:
🎙️ Recording a podcast with on using photos in TouchMD to enhance patient education and streamline the blepharoplasty consultation process.
👥 Leading Roundtable Discussions: It was great to facilitate focused, interactive conversations on key challenges and innovations.
🗣️ Participating in Panel Discussions: I loved sharing the stage with fellow experts to predict the future of our industry.

While sharing my own experience was rewarding, the best part of these meetings is always the people. I learned so much from other speakers, reconnected with old friends, and made fantastic new connections.🤝

And yes, there was even a moment to truly decompress with puppies! 🐶🤍

Feeling recharged, inspired, and already looking forward to the next one!
