“Can you send photos of real scars?”
We get this question a lot and realized we don’t show it enough. While every patient heals differently, eyelid scars typically heal beautifully.

Here are some real examples. Two different closure techniques, same seamless result. No scar cream, no laser, just time. (& No make up or fancy lighting shown.)

That said, if a scar ever needs extra attention (which is rare), we’ve got you. From medical-grade creams to advanced lasers, we’re equipped to help you heal confidently.

Sometimes you have to think outside the box.

This patient came to me after a complicated lower eyelid blepharoplasty performed elsewhere, which left her eyelid pulled down — a challenging and emotional problem. We discussed all the surgical and nonsurgical options, but understandably, she was hesitant about more surgery.

I proposed a different approach: if she trusted me, gave me time, and allowed me to use every tool at my disposal, I believed we could improve her eyelid position without another operation.

Over the course of four months, we combined scar-relaxing injections, microneedling, laser treatments, and even targeted neurotoxin to soften and release the scarring that was tethering her eyelid. This approach helped avoid a complex reconstructive surgery.

In a few more months I think she will be even better.

Lighting and makeup differences aside, you can appreciate the subtle yet refreshing results of upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty. The excess skin on her upper eyelids — what we call ‘hooding’ — is gone. The under-eye fat pads or puffiness have been removed. The overall result is a naturally awake and refreshed appearance.
Love this before and after patient selfie!

A little about me 👁💫

Hi, I’m Dr. Sarah Avila, board-certified oculofacial plastic surgeon. I specialize in everything eyelids: from cosmetic eyelid surgery to advanced rejuvenation techniques.

Born and raised in Florida to Brazilian parents, I’m fluent in Portuguese, Spanish, and English, something that helps me connect with patients from all backgrounds. My training took me to New York City for residency at Mount Sinai, followed by a two-year ASOPRS fellowship at Emory in Atlanta.

Those who know me know I’ve been eye-obsessed since childhood, and I feel incredibly lucky to live out that passion every day. I truly love what I do.

Outside the OR, I’m a proud new mom, navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood. My husband is my biggest supporter, and together we’re building a life that fills me with gratitude.

Thanks for being here and following along on this journey 🤍
