✨Rediscover Your Best Self with Blepharoplasty Surgery✨

There is nothing quite like the feeling of looking in the mirror and seeing a reflection that finally matches the energy and vitality you feel on the inside.

I recently had the pleasure of seeing a patient’s incredible transformation following a customized upper and lower blepharoplasty. Before her procedure, she felt that heavy upper lids and under-eye bags made her look tired—even after a full night’s sleep.

The Result?
🎯A naturally refreshed, “well-rested” look that highlights her eyes without looking “done.” Most importantly, she has regained the confidence to step out into the world feeling vibrant and renewed.

Why Choose an ASOPRS Specialist?
When it comes to your eyes, expertise matters. A fellowship-trained member of the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ASOPRS) specializes exclusively in the delicate structures of the eyelids and face, combining the precision of ophthalmology with the artistry of plastic surgery.

Ready to refresh your look?
Don’t let tired eyes hold you back from feeling your most confident. Schedule your consultation with today to discuss your personalized rejuvenation plan.

Thanks to everyone who joined us last week at my office 🙏. What a great night of networking and learning about Radiesse! It was a pleasure bringing everyone together, sharing ideas, and learning from each other in such a relaxed and engaging setting.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us to visit our office and be part of the conversation. Special thanks to Alice, our Merz Medical Science Liaison, to our Merz rep Emily for helping to organize, and to Christina Williamson for sharing her expertise and insights on how she uses hyperdilute Radiesse in her practice.

We’re also incredibly grateful to Merz for sponsoring this event and helping make the night possible. Looking forward to many more evenings like this! ✨

Celebrating our intern’s last day on service the right way 🍕

We wrapped things up with a well-earned pizza lunch and a lot of appreciation for all the hard work Dr. Moritz brought to the team. It’s been a pleasure having him with us—his dedication, positive attitude, and commitment to patient care made a real impact.

Wishing Dr. Moritz all the best as he heads into his remaining rotations and on to finish residency in Miami. Bright things ahead! 👏

Spring break in Beaver Creek was exactly what we needed—time to slow down, recharge, and just enjoy being together as a family. ⛷️💙
The snow wasn’t perfect, but honestly… that didn’t matter. We made the most of every run, every laugh, and every moment off the mountain. From cozy mornings to fun-filled afternoons, it was all about being present and making memories.

I am also coming to grips with the ide of having a snowboarder in the house🏂

Sometimes it’s not about the conditions—it’s about the company. And this trip delivered. 🙌

Already looking forward to the next one.

Always great to have colleagues in the OR😀
Today I had the pleasure of hosting a Dr Mike Moritz and Melanie Palmer FNP-C to observe surgery and exchange ideas. These visits are always a two-way street—sharing techniques, discussing nuances, and pushing each other to refine our craft.
Appreciate the opportunity to collaborate and contribute to advancing patient care together. 👁️✨

She didn’t just refresh her look—she restored what time had quietly taken away.
This patient came in bothered by under-eye bags, hollow cheeks, and persistent dark circles that made her look tired no matter how she felt. Her transformation focused on subtle, natural restoration:
• Lower lid blepharoplasty to remove under-eye bags
• Fat transfer to bring back youthful cheek volume
• Laser skin resurfacing to improve skin quality and brighten dark circles
The result? Smoother contours, brighter eyes, and a rested, more youthful appearance—without looking “done.”
Performed by eyelid specialist and ASOPRS member Michael McCracken, MD, this outcome highlights what precision and expertise can achieve when every detail matters.
Refreshed. Natural. Confident.

Puppies at a meeting 😀

What an incredible time in Orlando for the NexTech Edge meeting! ☀️ It was an honor to participate as a Key Opinion Leader and engage with so many brilliant minds in our field.

Some highlights included:
🎙️ Recording a podcast with on using photos in TouchMD to enhance patient education and streamline the blepharoplasty consultation process.
👥 Leading Roundtable Discussions: It was great to facilitate focused, interactive conversations on key challenges and innovations.
🗣️ Participating in Panel Discussions: I loved sharing the stage with fellow experts to predict the future of our industry.

While sharing my own experience was rewarding, the best part of these meetings is always the people. I learned so much from other speakers, reconnected with old friends, and made fantastic new connections.🤝

And yes, there was even a moment to truly decompress with puppies! 🐶🤍

Feeling recharged, inspired, and already looking forward to the next one!

She always felt like her eyes made her look more tired than she really was. No matter how much sleep she got, the under-eye bags and dark circles told a different story.

After a lower lid blepharoplasty to remove the under-eye bags and laser skin resurfacing to improve skin quality and pigmentation, her eyes finally reflect how she feels—rested, refreshed, and confident.

The goal was never to change how she looks—just to remove the things that were making her look tired. The result is a smoother lid–cheek transition, brighter skin under the eyes, and a naturally rejuvenated appearance.

She still looks like herself… just a more refreshed version.
And the best part? Results will continue to improve as healing progresses over the coming months.

Proud Coach Moment🏆

What a season for this group of boys. 🏒

Hard work, early mornings, long drives, and a lot of heart led to something special. This team battled all year, kept getting better every game, and capped it off by bringing home their third tournament championship of the season.
More than the wins and trophies, it’s the friendships, the commitment to each other, and the way these players competed every time they stepped on the ice that made this season unforgettable.
Proud of this group and everything they accomplished. The future is bright. 💪🥅

We had a little post game excitement when the police had to come to the rink and remove some angry parents after we won against their kids😳

Setting the clock BACK, not forward😀

She told me the same thing I hear from so many young patients: “People keep asking if I’m tired… even when I’m not.”😴

Her eye bags 🛍️ and dark circles made her look exhausted all the time, even on her best days.

Makeup could only do so much, and it never addressed the real issue — volume loss and puffiness around the eyes.🫩

To refresh her appearance, I performed a lower lid blepharoplasty to smooth the under-eye bags, combined with fat transfer to the cheeks to restore natural support to the lower eyelids. We also used nanofat injections to help improve the dark circles and skin quality under the eyes.

The result? A brighter, more rested version of herself 🌞 — without changing what makes her look like her.

These photos are just 6 weeks after surgery, and she already looks dramatically more refreshed.

The most exciting part is that healing and skin color and quality will continue to improve for up to a year.

No more “You look tired.”
Just “You look great.”🤗

Feeling incredibly grateful to have been invited back to the University of California, San Diego Oculofacial Course as a keynote speaker.

I had the privilege of speaking on facial fat grafting, instructing in the cadaver lab, and—just as importantly—learning from the outstanding faculty and fellow speakers who continue to advance our field. The exchange of ideas, techniques, and experience is what keeps our specialty evolving.

Returning to UCSD was especially meaningful for me. I completed my oculoplastic surgery training there from 2001–2003, and it was truly special to reconnect with my preceptor Dr Don Kikkawa and the incredible team. Full circle moments like this remind me how fortunate I am to be part of such a dedicated and inspiring community.

Thank you to everyone who made this course such a success, and to Dr Rolika Bandai, Dr Kikkawa, Dr Bobby Korn, and Dr CatherineLiu for inviting me. Honored, humbled, and energized.
