I love this upper blepharoplasty result, as it shows how subtle surgical details make all the difference 🧑🎨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because of her borderline brow position, a browpexy was performed to keep the brow naturally supported. Importantly, this is not a brow lift - its a maneuver that prevents the brow from being "pulled down" which can lead to it hanging over the end of the eyelid. An issue many patients unfortunately have after healed upper eyelid surgery.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In addition, this patient had both lacrimal gland and fat repositioning, to restore a youthful and smooth upper lid contour.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
At 6 months post-op, both of us are thrilled with this natural and balanced result. Can you find the incisions? 🤫

Medical clearance isn’t just a formality. It’s an essential safety step 😷
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Before any elective cosmetic surgery, every possible risk must be minimized. There’s no room for added uncertainty when the goal is a safe, predictable outcome.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For some patients, the process of getting medical clearance can feel burdensome. Extra appointments, lab work, and paperwork when they’re already eager to move forward.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But this step is critical. It helps ensure that your body is fully prepared for anesthesia, surgery, and recovery. Protecting you from preventable complications and setting you up for the best possible result.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In the end, safety isn’t an obstacle to great outcomes. It’s what makes them possible 🤝

A quick demo on how I like my rhinoplasty patients to tape their nose — shown here on Kristen (ironically filmed before her rhinoplasty 😄).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Taping helps control swelling, refine definition, and support healing in the early weeks and months after surgery.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Every surgeon has their own philosophy on whether (and how long) taping should be done — so always follow the guidance of your own surgeon.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Simple, effective, and something I have all my patients do at home 👃

“Scarless” lower blepharoplasty with micro fat grafting to the lower eyelids and mid-cheeks — 7 months post-op ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This elegant and energetic young patient felt her lower lid bags and associated volume loss always made her look tired.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Through hidden, scarless incisions inside the eyelid, the herniated fat was removed, and areas of hollowness were contoured with precision fat grafting.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The result is bright, rested, and natural — a timeless transformation that works beautifully across all ages and skin types.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Grateful as always to my ordinarily private patients for allowing me to share their transformations 🙏

A refreshed, masculine jawline for this wonderful patient - shown 7 months after a direct neck lift done entirely under local anesthesia 🤩
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For many men, aging is most noticeable in the neck - where sagging soft tissue can create heaviness that reveals age.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In these cases, a direct neck lift can be a powerful and relatively straightforward way to clean things up 🧹
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Unlike a traditional deep plane face and neck lift - with incisions around the ears - a direct neck lift relies on access through the center of the neck, within the shadows of the jawline. It’s a particularly discreet incision pattern for men, who often wear their hair short - thus making traditional lift incisions harder to camouflage during the early healing period.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This procedure’s minimal downtime, and the ability to perform it under local anesthesia, are also important advantages for busy professionals.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m especially grateful to this patient - who understandably values his privacy - for generously allowing me to share his photos to illustrate what’s possible with this approach. 🙏

Lower eyelid bags aren’t just about aging — they’re often genetic, present as early as childhood. This herniated fat can cast shadows that make you look older, or tired when you’re not 👎
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This relatively young and beautiful patient is shown after a “scarless” lower blepharoplasty, with subtle fat grafting - to gently build out facial volume - and a fractionated CO₂ laser polish - to iron out the lower eyelid skin. A classic three-part combination I offer to most patients with lower eyelid bags, with no external incisions.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We are both thrilled with her results, and agree that her eyes no longer distract from her natural, overall brightness 🤩

The majority of patients with upper eyelid concerns come in asking for an upper blepharoplasty. But I always have to bring up the brow. Why?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠
Because patients with eyelid issues almost always benefit from a brow lift. Because aging impacts everything all at once, not just one feature, and the brow is a component of overall eye aging.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠
👉 Some absolutely need a brow lift for a balanced result.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠
👉 Others could do a brow lift for a better result - but it’s not essential.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠
👉 Only rarely is there truly no role for the brow. Usually younger patients with some genetic eyelid excess or volumetric issues.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠
This stunning patient - shown 6 months after her blepharoplasty surgery - was one of those “bleph only” cases I was a little worried about. Even though I stressed the importance of the brow lift, she was certain she didn’t want one.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠
I decided I could give her some improvement without a brow lift, but I reminded her frequently that she was very likely going to want a brow lift once she saw her new eyes.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠
But both of us are surprised at how good her result is without a brow lift. It’s a reminder that surgery - especially upper eyelid surgery - isn’t always perfectly predictable.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠
Given that we weren’t doing a brow lift, I did a lot of internal brow support work - to make sure her brow didn’t pull down - and volumetric contouring including lacrimal gland suspension. Those hidden details can also make all the difference in a borderline case.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠
TL;dr version: Sometimes the brow really does need lifting. Sometimes its not required, but helpful. And its hard to always know. But with care and attention to detail, frequently the lids alone can shine ✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠
