Tired Eyes, Heavy Lids… Gone 👀
After years of using filler to mask under-eye hollowing, this 53-year-old patient was ready for a more permanent solution. She wanted to look refreshed—like herself, just more awake.

✅ What She Had Done:
✔️ Upper Blepharoplasty
✔️ Lower Blepharoplasty with Fat Transposition
✔️ Lateral Canthopexy

💬 “People kept saying I looked tired… even when I wasn’t.”

✨ Her Concern:
Filler helped temporarily, but it started creating puffiness under the eyes. The hollowing and the heaviness of her upper lids made her look more tired than she felt. She wanted something long-lasting and natural—not a patchwork fix.

📚 EDUCATION MOMENT:
Filler can’t fix everything. In patients with under-eye bags, volume distortion from old filler can actually make things look worse over time. For her, the first step was dissolving all remaining HA filler to reset the area.

Then we addressed the real issue:
➡️ Lower Blepharoplasty with Fat Transposition smoothed the contour beneath the eyes by repositioning herniated fat.
➡️ Upper Blepharoplasty removed the excess skin weighing down her eyelids.
➡️ Lateral Canthopexy supported and reinforced the shape of the eye for long-term results.

🌟 Her eyes now reflect how she feels: rested, lifted, and awake.

🔥 Eyelid Rejuvenation at 43 - Lower Blepharoplasty 👀

This handsome patient of mine came to me because he was constantly being told he looked tired, despite feeling young. He had tried everything: eye creams, anti-aging serums, even under-eye filler three years ago. Nothing worked.

He wanted a solution that wouldn’t leave him looking “done.” He wanted to look natural. After evaluating his anatomy, I recommended ✅ Lower Blepharoplasty with Fat Transposition where I used the excess fat under the eyes and repositioned it to smooth the undereye hollows and contour.

The result? A refreshed look and a longer lasting solution. No one is asking if he’s tired anymore—his energy finally matches how he looks.

💬 Education Moment:
In this case, avoiding a skin excision was critical due to his facial anatomy. Given that he has a negative eye vector, further skin excision could put him at risk for ectropion, and the possibility of a visible incision line.

If you’ve had filler that didn’t help or made things worse, lower eyelid surgery with fat repositioning and/or facial fat transfer are other possible options.

🔁 Downtime Expectations:
• Bruising and swelling typically peak at days 2–4
• Most patients return to light activity after 2 weeks
• Results evolve over 3 months on average as swelling resolves

👀 Should You Combine Facelift and Rhinoplasty? The answer is—it depends!

Larry came in with two big concerns: the loose skin on his neck after weight loss that made him look older than he felt—and a bulbous, prominent nose he felt never quite fit his face. As a competitive rugby player (yes at 60!), Larry and I worked on a plan that would deliver great results without compromising his lifestyle or timeline.

While many patients combine multiple procedures for facial rejuvenation, I’m very selective when combining facelift and rhinoplasty. These are two major surgeries—and I consider factors like complexity, length of surgery, and downtime.

🎯 My Recommendation for Larry:
After reviewing his goals, anatomy, and lifestyle, I recommended a staged plan:

🥇 Phase 1: Rhinoplasty
We reshaped the nasal tip and bridge to better fit his features without impacting breathing. His thick skin and vascularity limited how slim the tip could get, but the change still looked natural and impactful.

🥇 Phase 2: Deep Plane Facelift + Neck Lift
His laxity extended from the neck into the lower face, so I lifted both areas in one surgery - muscle, fat and skin.

🪡 My Technique:
    •    Lifted muscle and fat layers (not just skin) for strong neck and jawline definition
    •    Removed excess skin
    •    Hid scars around the ear and hairline
We also discussed the possibility of posterior hair follicle shifts and electrolysis later if needed.

🥇 Phase 3: Lower Blepharoplasty with Fat Transposition
Larry wanted to address under-eye bags early. I removed loose skin and repositioned fat pads. We held off on upper lids to avoid an overdone look.

💡 Every patient is different. That’s why I ask the right questions—your “why,” your timing, your goals.

👀 Lower Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) – She Was Tired of Looking Tired 💫

This beautiful patient of mine came to me after having previous lower eyelid surgery and fat grafting around her eyes elsewhere 3 years ago. Since then, she’s still dealing with persistent undereye bags and excess fat grafting that cause some irregularity. She wants to know what can be done to improve the area. She’s never used filler around her eyes, but has had Botox. What’s bothering her now is still the visible bulging under and puffiness under her eyes that wasn’t fully addressed during her first surgery.

✅ What I Recommended:

✔️ Lower Blepharoplasty with Fat Transposition (Revision) – I’ll reposition her fat pads under the eyes to better fill the tear trough and create a smoother eyelid–cheek junction.
✔️ Excision of Excess Fat (Lower Left Eyelid) – On the left side, there’s excess fat that needs to be carefully removed through an external approach. I’ll place the incision in a natural crease that she already has to hide the scar as best as possible.

📚 Education Moment:
Her secondary lower eyelid surgery was more complex. Because she’s had previous surgery, I explained that she might possibly have more prolonged healing. I also explained to her that the discoloration and redness she’s noticing are likely due to increased vascularization from her first surgery—and while I can address the eyebags and volume, pigmentation may need additional treatment down the line with a different procedure.

💡 Fat Transposition is also different from Fat Transfer. Sometimes I recommend both, and my recommendation varies with every patient. Both results take time to fully settle

💫 Eye Rejuvenation at 52 - Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty

“My eyelids always looked puffy—like I had allergies.” 👁️

This beautiful patient of mine came in feeling frustrated about her eyes. Despite having no history of allergies, she constantly looked tired, puffy, and swollen—especially in the upper eyelids where she is also noticing some fatty deposits that contribute to the puffy appearance. Her eye makeup would smear within an hour of applying, so she avoided wearing it altogether. Over time, her upper eyelid skin began touching the lash line, and she noticed deeper dark circles and bags under the eyes.

✅ What she got done:
✔️ Upper Blepharoplasty – to remove redundant skin and reduce the puffiness caused by upper eyelid fat pads
✔️ Lower Blepharoplasty with Skin + Fat Excision
✔️ Facial Fat Transfer – a conservative approach to add volume and support the undereye area using her own fat

We also discussed that she may need Brow Lift in the future because her brow position is slightly low, and she may benefit later from a lift to avoid recurrence of upper eyelid heaviness.

🧠 Education Moment:
In cases like hers, it’s important to take a structural approach—not just remove skin. Overcorrecting can lead to eyelid distortion or ectropion (a pulling down of the lower eyelid) with lower eyelid surgery (lower blepharoplasty). That’s why fat grafting is key to rebuilding volume and supporting the lower eyelid while addressing the hollowne

She now looks more refreshed, natural, and confident—with results that reflect how she truly feels inside. ✨

💫 “I knew my upper eyelids would get worse with age... it runs in my family.”

This beautiful patient came in wanting to address sagging upper eyelids and undereye bags she noticed were becoming more prominent. With a strong family history of heavy eyelids and brows, she was proactive choosing to take control before the changes became too advanced.

She shared that her brows have always felt heavy, and she’s long noticed that her left brow sits lower than the right. While she’s used Botox in the past, she never had fillers around the eyes. What she really wanted was a natural, longer-lasting solution—not just a temporary fix.

✅ What She Had Done:
✔️ Upper Blepharoplasty – to remove excess skin and restore a brighter, more awake look
✔️ Endoscopic Brow Lift – to elevate the outer brow and improve symmetry
✔️ Lower Blepharoplasty with Fat Transposition – to address her under-eye bags and hollowing without looking overdone, I repositioned her fat pads for a smoother appearance

She’s thrilled with the results—and finally feels like her eyes match how energized she feels inside. 💖

Eye Rejuvenation with Natural Balance ✨

This beautiful patient of mine brought in photos from 10 to 15 years ago… and together, we created a plan to restore what time had changed. 💫

She came to me wanting to brighten and open her eyes again. Her main concern was the heaviness in her upper eyelids. When ahe brought in old photos, it showed her lateral brows were naturally more elevated in her younger years.

That detail helped me design a surgical plan not just focused on the eyelids, but the full eye frame. In her case, it wasn’t just excess upper eyelid skin—it was also lateral brow ptosis and hooding that contributed to the tired appearance. If we had only done an upper blepharoplasty, I explained that I wouldn’t have addressed the full problem.

She trusted the process—and her results speak for themselves. Her eyes now look refreshed, brighter, and natural!

✅ What She Had Done:
✔️ Temporal Brow Lift
✔️ Upper Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)
✔️ Lower Blepharoplasty with Fat Transposition

👩🏻‍⚕️ This is why personalized planning matters. Every eye shape is different. Every aging pattern is unique. And when you consider the whole picture, the results natural and unique to each patient.

👄 Lip Rejuvenation Transformation – A Natural Redefinition ✨

This beautiful patient of mine came in after doing her own research on lip lift surgery. She always had a fuller lower lip, but her upper lip appeared thin, downturned, and lacked that natural curl along the border. Over time, she also noticed the space between her nose and upper lip had lengthened—something that often comes with aging.

Despite having lip fillers in the past, she wasn’t getting the results she hoped for. In fact, the remaining filler had started to distort her natural lip anatomy—especially in the upper lip. During our consultation, we focused on creating balance and restoring natural proportion.

👩‍⚕️ My approach:
✔ First, we dissolved the existing filler to properly assess her natural lip structure.
✔ Then, I recommended a subnasal lip lift to shorten the philtrum (space between nose and lip) and subtly elevate the upper lip.
✔ To create balance and add volume in the most natural way, I performed lip augmentation using a mastoid fascia graft (harvested from behind the ear) — only for the upper lip, as her lower lip already had great fullness.

💡 Why not just a lip lift?
Her upper lip vermillion was already quite thin, and she had good teeth show at rest. A lift alone would’ve risked too much gum show when smiling. Combining it with structural augmentation was key to both shape and balance — no filler needed.

✅ What Was Done:
• ✔ Subnasal Lip Lift
• ✔ Lip Augmentation (Upper Lip Only) with Mastoid Fascia Graft
• ✔️ Dissolved filler prior to surgery
• ❌ Lower lip left untouched for natural harmony
