This awesome patient was bothered by some excess skin on her upper eyelids. She had prior blepharoplasty but wanted a bit more ā€œclean upā€. We conservatively trimmed excess skin, with care not to remove too much and affect eyelid closure, blink etc.
šŸ§”
This was done in office under local anesthesia. It allows us to be precise and safe with skin removal as we can observe eyelid dynamics in real time.

Complex eyelid reconstruction- I typically donā€™t showcase these surgeries but this one isnā€™t too graphic
Repair of cicatricial entropion of the lower eyelid ā€” a condition where internal scarring causes the eyelid to turn inward. In this case, the patient was referred after a prior lower blepharoplasty and required surgical correction to restore comfort and proper eyelid position.
Surgical Technique šŸ¤“: scar excision + spacer graft + everting sutures

Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty with Fat Transposition
āœØ
When you have under eye puffiness, the treatment is surgical. There is no other more effective, safer, long term solution.
āœØ
In this surgery, I go through the inside of the eyelid and identify your fat pads. Then I move these fat pads to the cheek in order to create a more smooth eyelid-cheek junction. We sometimes combine this with CO2 laser and fat grafting as well although this was not done here in this case.
āœØ
This surgery is done in the surgery center under sedation, not in office.
āœØ
She does have Botox in her after pictures which accounts for reduction of lines in the crows feet area.
āœØ
Limitations of this surgery- does not fix anatomical asymmetries related to bone, eyeball position etc, true hyperpigmentation of skin, skin laxity (need laser or skin pinch), etc.

Choosing to have a procedure is a personal decision. Small, subtle changes can help patients feel more like themselves again. Grateful to have played a part in restoring some confidence šŸ¤

As 2025 comes to an end, I want to thank every single person who has been part of this journey with me.

In 2024, I made the leap from a private equityā€“backed practice to starting my own. I had limited business knowledge, zero funding beyond my own savings, and an incredible village of family, friends, and colleagues who believed in my vision even when the path wasnā€™t clear.

2025 became a year of growth in ways I never could have imagined. To the providers who trust me enough to refer their patientsā€”thank you. It is truly an honor. To the followers who became patientsā€”navigating Instagram is a whirlwind, yet somehow you still enjoy my content šŸ˜‚ā€”thank you for showing up and supporting.

And finally, thank you to the universe for continuing to remind me that I deserve every dream Iā€™m working toward.

2026 will have big shoes to fill but Iā€™m thinking itā€™s going to be just as special! Letā€™s goooooo!

Happy Holidays šŸ¤šŸŒ² šŸ•Ž
I couldnā€™t be more grateful for my team. In just a year, weā€™ve reached milestones I never even imagined when starting this practice. For me, itā€™s never been about growth, money, or anything elseā€”itā€™s about genuinely enjoying what I do. These days, work truly feels like fun, and thatā€™s because of the people I get to do it with and patients that feel like friends šŸ¤

Left upper eyelid ptosis (droopy eyelid) repair. This patient had one eyelid that was slightly lower for as long as she can remember. She had an in office repair under local and these are her results 4 months later. She is a great reminder of how a little patience and time is our friend when it comes to plastic surgery. She had a little fluctuation in lid height during recovery which is very common, but in the end, she is absolutely perfect.
