Noticing fine lines or creases under your eyes that seem to appear overnight? 👀
They might not be wrinkles — they could be dehydration lines.

Here’s how to tell the difference ⬇️

💧 Common signs of dehydration lines:
-Skin looks dull or tired
-Fine lines appear more pronounced in the morning
-Concealer or makeup settles into creases
-The area feels sensitive or itchy

What can you do:
✅ Drink enough water throughout the day
✅ Use a gentle, hydrating eye cream or serum
✅ Avoid harsh cleansers or over-exfoliation
✅ Protect your skin with sunscreen (yes, even under the eyes!)

If lines persist even when your skin is well-hydrated, it might be a sign of volume loss or skin laxity — and in that case, there are safe, effective treatments that can help rejuvenate the area.

Thinking about a brow lift but not sure what to expect? ✨ Here are some of the most common questions I get in the clinic — and what you should know if you’ve been considering it:

💬 What is a brow lift?
A brow lift (also called a forehead lift) raises the eyebrows and smooths forehead lines, helping you look more rested and refreshed.

💬 Who is a good candidate?
If your brows have started to droop or your upper eyelids feel heavy, a brow lift may help open and brighten your expression.

💬 Is it the same as eyelid surgery?
Not quite. A brow lift repositions the brows and forehead, while eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) removes or reshapes skin and fat around the eyes. They can also be done together for balanced results.

💬 What’s recovery like?
Most people return to daily activities within 1–2 weeks. Swelling and mild bruising fade gradually, revealing a natural, refreshed look.

💬 How long do results last?
Results often last many years — sometimes a decade or more — depending on your skin, lifestyle, and natural aging process.

Your face tells your story — a brow lift simply helps it look as vibrant as you feel. 💛

Even at a young age, excess upper eyelid skin can create heaviness and hide the natural shape of the eyes.

Through a bilateral upper eyelid blepharoplasty, we refined her eyelid contour while maintaining her natural expression — revealing brighter, more defined eyes without changing her unique features.

A subtle enhancement that highlights what was already beautiful. ✨

Eye creams can help — but only up to a point. ✨ They may temporarily reduce puffiness or fine lines, but the effects are short-lived.

For those looking for a longer-lasting solution, eyelid surgeries can make a meaningful difference — not just in appearance, but also in comfort and vision.

By addressing excess skin or fat around the eyes, surgery restores a refreshed, natural look that lasts for years, not hours. Because sometimes, caring for your eyes means going beyond creams — and choosing a solution that truly lasts. 👁️

Drooping eyelids can affect more than appearance — they can impact vision and how alert you feel. 👀
With ptosis surgery, we were able to lift the eyelids, improving both function and the overall look of the eyes. The result is a refreshed, natural appearance that lets the eyes do what they’re meant to do — open wide and shine.

Heavy brows and upper eyelid skin can make even the most energetic person look tired. By combining a direct brow lift with upper eyelid surgery, we were able to lift, open, and refresh the eye area — restoring a naturally alert and confident appearance.

Sometimes, it’s not about changing your face, but letting your expression match how you truly feel.

When it comes to eyelid surgery, it’s natural to wonder who’s the right specialist for you. An oculofacial surgeon is an eye and facial expert with years of additional training focused on the delicate structures around your eyes — the eyelids, tear ducts, and surrounding tissues.

While a plastic surgeon operates on many areas of the body, an oculofacial surgeon’s work centers on one: the eyes and face.That extra focus means a deeper understanding of both how your eyelids function and how to achieve natural-looking results.

Because your eyes deserve the kind of care that’s as precise as it is thoughtful.
