Dr. Jonathan Cabin - Facial Plastic Surgeon

07/08/2025

This gorgeous and successful mom-trepreneur was starting to see age in her eyes, and could no longer get make up to work within the folds of her upper eyelids.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
She is shown 4 months out from an upper eyelid clean up with fat repositioning and lateral brow support, all under local anesthesia in the office 🤩
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Two things to notice:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1️⃣ She’s always had stronger muscle contraction around the right eye, which makes this eye appear smaller than the left with smile. Because her lid skin and volume is now more symmetric, this diminishes the the appearance of asymmetry with smile. Not gone, but better. Botox can now be used to improve this even more.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2️⃣ Check out those “scars” when her eyes are closed 💪 In well-performed blepharoplasty, its typical for the scars to disappear to almost nothing before the 4 month mark.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Although dramatic full face surgery is definitely satisfying, don’t underestimate the power of small, quick tweaks. They can make all the difference.

*SUBTLE TWEAKS & LONG TERM FOLLOW UP*

This stunning, sweet and very private young woman was never quite satisfied with her profile.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
She is shown over TWO YEARS after finesse rhinoplasty - to bring more definition to her nose - and a small chin implant - for ideal balance. In the interim, she also had some minimally invasive tweaks to bring more contour and symmetry to her jawline. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Plastic surgery can be subtle or dramatic. But it should always be natural and durable. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We are both thrilled with these results. And I am always so grateful when my (typically private) patients generously allow me to share their results 🙏

Lets keep it rolling with these patient updates 🤩
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Another two-staged upper facial rejuvenation approach - this time with surgery followed by filler.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Stage 1 - lower blepharoplasty with fat grafting to the lower eyelids
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Stage 2 - filler to the upper eyelids
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Initially, this surgery-naive patient wanted to conservatively treat her lower eyelid bags, a longstanding, major concern of hers.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After she lived with her (quite fantastic) result for a while, we circled back to the volume loss in her upper eyelids by using a touch of filler to restore a youthful contour to her upper lids.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As many of you know, the upper eyelid is one of my favorite filler treatment areas, as it can powerfully restore age-related hollowness in a matter of minutes, and tends to last a very long time.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I also love meeting patients where they are in their rejuvenation journey. And utilizing a combination of approaches can be useful in getting patients to the final result, in a way that doesn’t take them too far out of their comfort zone 🧘‍♀️

Over one year out from a two-stage approach to the upper face:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1️⃣ Upper blepharoplasty, ptosis repair and fat grafting to the upper eyelids under local anesthesia.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2️⃣ Transconjunctival (“scarless”) lower blepharoplasty, fat grafting to the lower eyelids and mid-face, and CO2 laser to the lower eyelids under deep sedation.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Although we discussed lower lids initially, we decided to wait. I was concerned that the under eye changes were related to previous filler (done elsewhere) causing puffiness and lymphatic obstruction. And that a lower blepharoplasty could worsen this issue.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But after a few rounds of dissolving and some energy treatments to her lower lids, there was improvement - but some problems remained. So we went ahead with stage 2.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The type and timing of surgeries should be customized to the patient. Sometimes this means a multi-surgery, one-and-done approach. Other times - like in this case - it means taking more conservative steps over time.

My beautiful VIP patient 👀 three months after a full upper face refresh including:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1️⃣ temporal brow reset
2️⃣ upper blepharoplasty (eyelid lift)
3️⃣ transconjunctival (scarless) lower blepharoplasty with skin pinch
4️⃣ conservative fat grafting to temples, lower eyelids, midface, and lateral cheeks
5️⃣ fractionated CO2 laser polish around the eyes
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
😮‍💨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
She's still got a touch of swelling from the combo of recovery and seasonal allergies. But let's be honest - she's crushing it 🔥

This wonderful patient had hemmed and hawed for years about committing to a rhinoplasty surgery to straighten her profile and lift her tip.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In 15 minutes with near zero pain, bruising, swelling or downtime - not to mention a way lower price point - she was able to exceed her goals with a few drops of filler. She is shown 2 weeks after treatment 😮‍💨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Non-surgical rhinoplasty is not for everyone. Patient anatomy and goals are important considerations.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But in the right patient, it's one of my favorite injectable procedures (my other favorite is upper eyelids 👀 )
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Maybe one day she'll opt to go all in on surgery. All good. We'll do a quick dissolve to get her to baseline before.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But in the meantime, why not use what we have to give her a fantastic result? Would honestly be silly not to .

What is a "mini facelift"? It depends. 👇

Noticed your jawline isn't as defined as it once was or that your lower face has lost some of its structure? You might consider a mini facelift!
