This male patient is shown with two before views, including a 45-degree angle that clearly demonstrates the heaviness of the lids, fat pads, and the start of brow descent.

After surgery, the eyes appear brighter, lighter, and more defined without losing masculine structure.

He underwent a four-lid blepharoplasty with fat transfer and lower-lid laser resurfacing. His brows were anchored to their proper position to maintain longevity of the surgery as well as offer improved aesthetic outcome.

• The upper and lower lids were reshaped to remove excess skin and restore natural eye contour.

• Laser resurfacing improved the texture and tone of the lower-lid skin for a smoother, healthier appearance. (This technology can also be used across the full face when desired, though in this case it was focused around the eyes.)

• The midface hollowness was supported using the patient’s own fat, carefully preserved during the lower-lid blepharoplasty and transferred back as a natural, permanent filler to restore volume and structural support.

The result is an eye area that looks more rested, more youthful, and more functional while staying true to his natural anatomy.

Beautifully restored expression, and a return of the blue of her iris ✨

This patient is seen 1 week after levator muscle repair (ptosis surgery). The levator is the muscle that lifts the upper eyelid, and over time it can stretch or slip, allowing the lid to sit lower over the pupil. This commonly happens from aging, prior eye surgery, contact lens use, or natural tissue laxity.

In her before, the eyelid was covering part of the pupil, limiting both appearance & function. In her after, you can see a brighter, more open eye with natural symmetry restored.

While this procedure takes years off the appearance, it also restores everyday function. Patients with ptosis often struggle with activities like reading, driving, & seeing clearly in low light. Repairing the levator improves comfort, confidence, & real-world visual performance, along with the aesthetics.

Beautiful before & after ✨

This patient underwent upper blepharoplasty to remove excess upper-lid skin that was weighing down the eyes.

In her before, you can see hooding & heaviness along the lash line. In her after, the eyelids appear more open, refreshed, & naturally defined... but you can see where I strategically left skin to preserve the fold and keep her looking like herself.

A well-done blepharoplasty should look like you, just better rested.

Subtle end results of an upper + lower eyelid surgery with fat transposition to restore a rested, natural look for my patient.
Subtle when you are just looking at his afters, but looking at his before shows the truly dramatic transformation!

Quiet refinement, thoughtful planning, & results that age well. I make sure to leave enough skin behind for my male patients to account for the differences in facial anatomy & aging.
