The most important thing you can do to help your post op swelling is regular icing. Make sure to follow all of your post op instructions to ensure the best and fastest recovery after surgery.

You can safely return to contact lenses after surgery, but usually not for the first 1–2 weeks. Glasses give the eyes time to heal before you resume your normal routine, so make sure you have them on standby!

***Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty***
***Lower Eyelid Entropion Repair***

This one is a “Twofer,” specifically suited to the skills of an Oculoplastic surgeon. I performed a bilateral upper eyelid blepharoplasty to open the patient’s eyes, improving both his appearance and his vision. Additionally, I fixed the “turning in” of his right lower lid, putting the lid back into its natural position.

Overall, an excellent result that we are both very happy with!

Many patients try Botox or filler before considering surgery. If those treatments no longer provide the results you want, surgery may be the next best step. Call or DM to set up an appointment, and we can discuss what makes the most sense for you.

***Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty***

An excellent result for this beautiful patient. The right amount of delicate skin was removed from each upper eyelid, giving her a more awake and refreshed appearance. We are both thrilled with her result!

The best eyelid surgery is the kind you don’t notice. Paul Rudd is a great example: brighter eyes, less heaviness, but still completely himself. Subtle improvements lead to natural results. DM me or book an appointment to discuss how you can achieve the same.

Recovery after eyelid surgery is typically straightforward, whether you treat the upper lids, the lower lids, or all four lids. Most patients are back to daily routines within a week or so, with swelling and bruising improving day by day.

If Botox is no longer doing the job, you may need a surgical eyelid lift, brow lift, or both. These issues can be addressed surgically, offering a more permanent and ultimately more cost-effective solution. Book an appointment or DM me to discuss your options.

***Upper Eyelid Ptosis Repair and Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty***

This handsome young gentleman had heavy upper lids and puffy lower lids that bothered him. These issues often run in families and can appear in younger people, making them look more tired than they feel. I performed an upper eyelid ptosis repair and a lower eyelid blepharoplasty, and he did great!
