Complex eyelid reconstruction- I typically don’t showcase these surgeries but this one isn’t too graphic
Repair of cicatricial entropion of the lower eyelid — 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 🤓: scar excision + spacer graft + everting sutures

Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty with Fat Transposition
✨
When you have under eye puffiness, the treatment is surgical. There is no other more effective, safer, long term solution.
✨
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.
✨
This surgery is done in the surgery center under sedation, not in office.
✨
She does have Botox in her after pictures which accounts for reduction of lines in the crows feet area.
✨
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 🤍

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 equity–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 wasn’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 patients—thank you. It is truly an honor. To the followers who became patients—navigating Instagram is a whirlwind, yet somehow you still enjoy my content 😂—thank you for showing up and supporting.

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

2026 will have big shoes to fill but I’m thinking it’s going to be just as special! Let’s goooooo!

Happy Holidays 🤍🌲 🕎
I couldn’t be more grateful for my team. In just a year, we’ve reached milestones I never even imagined when starting this practice. For me, it’s never been about growth, money, or anything else—it’s about genuinely enjoying what I do. These days, work truly feels like fun, and that’s because of the people I get to do it with and patients that feel like friends 🤍

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.

Got a lot of questions on this one, so here’s a quick breakdown.

This is xanthelasma—yellow, cholesterol-rich plaques that can form on the eyelids. While they can be associated with elevated cholesterol, many patients have no identifiable cause.

In my opinion, surgical excision offers the most reliable and aesthetic results. It’s far more effective than lasers or other non-surgical devices for this condition. This was a quick in-office removal that takes just a few minutes.
(Important note: this is an EXTREMELY high-risk area, especially near the inner canthus—care is crucial to avoid webbing and visible scarring.)

For my surgical colleagues asking: this was excised using a 15 blade and Wescott scissors, then closed with 6-0 Prolene.

Grateful for the chance to unplug and explore another country with my little gang 🤍 Benji fell in love with snow, escargot, and playing with his cousin. We relaxed, wandered through Montreal, and gave thanks for our health after a few scary moments. So much to be grateful for ✨
