The most successful eyelid surgery doesn’t announce itself. It doesn’t look tight, hollow, or obvious. It looks rested. Modern blepharoplasty is no longer about removing as much skin or fat as possible it’s about understanding balance, anatomy, and when to stop. The difference between an overdone result and a natural one often comes down to restraint. In our latest blog, Dr. Schwarcz breaks down how eyelid surgery has evolved and why precision matters more than trends.

Dr. Robert Schwarcz weighs in on the growing conversation around younger patients considering blepharoplasty in The Wall Street Journal. His perspective is simple: surgery should address a visible concern not chase a trend.
Upper and lower eyelid surgery can be powerful when it’s done for the right reasons, with restraint, precision, and a deep understanding of facial anatomy. The goal isn’t to look different. It’s to look like yourself just more rested, more open, more you.
Thoughtful timing. Conservative technique. Natural-looking results.

Upper and lower blepharoplasty, fat transfer, and CO₂ laser performed as a comprehensive approach rather than isolated procedures. By addressing eyelid structure, restoring volume, and resurfacing the skin, the eyes appear brighter, smoother, and more rested while preserving the patient’s natural expression. Healing timelines can vary, with some patients experiencing more bruising or swelling than others. Shown here: before, 1 week, and 5 weeks post-op

Most people still think a facelift means tight skin, pulled cheeks, and that unmistakable “something’s off.” But modern deep plane techniques flip that idea on its head. Instead of pulling the skin, the deeper structures are lifted to restore the foundation you naturally had years ago. The result: a jawline that’s defined, cheeks that sit where they belong, and a face that looks refreshed not altered.

Dr. Robert Schwarcz, based on the Upper East Side of Manhattan with a second office in Rye, NY, has spent more than 20 years refining a natural, anatomical approach to the deep plane facelift. His focus is balance how the eyes, midface, and lower face work together to create harmony. No tension. No obvious “work.” Just a quieter version of rejuvenation that ages beautifully over time.

This patient presented with left upper eyelid ptosis and right upper eyelid dermatochalasis, contributing to upper eyelid heaviness and asymmetry. Treatment focused on refining the upper lids, restoring lower-lid volume, and improving skin quality. When structure, volume, and skin are considered together, the improvement feels balanced and effortless.

“ When I made the decision to finally get rid of my under eye bags, I knew I would be sharing the journey with this amazing community. It was something I talked about incessantly, thought about doing constantly and honestly just really didn’t like about myself. 3 months after I couldn’t happier with how it looks - I didn’t do it to look younger, I did it to look refreshed. I did it for me. I am so grateful to for making me feel so happy about my decision - and so much more confident in my own skin. Ask any questions and I’ll do my best to answer!”

CO2 laser resurfacing is powerful but only when you time it right.
Lasers like CO₂, BBL, and Moxi can completely transform skin texture, pigment, and tone, but they all rely on one non-negotiable factor: the right season. Your skin is more sensitive after treatment, and UV exposure can undo results or trigger unwanted darkening. That’s why the fall and winter “off-sun” window is the ideal time to schedule resurfacing.

CO2 laser resurfacing creates controlled micro-injuries that stimulate deep collagen remodeling. It’s one of the most effective ways to smooth lines, soften scars, and brighten long-standing sun damage. But this level of change requires a calm environment to heal—shorter daylight hours, less incidental UV, and a strong skin barrier going into treatment.

Dr. Robert Schwarcz, based on the Upper East Side of Manhattan with a second office in Rye, NY, takes a strategic approach to laser timing. He evaluates barrier health, lifestyle, recent procedures, and whether pairing resurfacing with surgery will deliver the best overall result. Many patients choose to combine CO2 resurfacing with a facelift or eyelid surgery to refine texture and pigment while healing from surgery.
