“Everyone tells me I look tired”…

That’s probably one of the most common reasons for people to see me. So I put together this little video explaining the difference between Ptosis and Dermatochalasis.

Dermatochalasis is when there is extra skin on the eyelid.
And Ptosis is when the muscle is stretched out, and it makes the eyelid itself droopy.
And together? They can make you look tired… even when you’re not.

The key is knowing the difference—and treating both correctly.

In this case:
• Ptosis repair to lift the eyelid (from the inside, no visible incision)
• Removal of excess skin, with the incision hidden in the natural crease

The result isn’t “overdone”… it’s just more awake, more refreshed, more you.
I think this patient exemplifies my goal - which is a Subtle, but Dramatic improvement in her eyelids.

Let me know what goals and concerns you have about your eyelids, I’m more than happy to help!

A lot of people think we only do Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery here…

But some of the best results actually come from a holistic approach. We really love combining surgical and non-surgical treatments like Botox, Fillers, Lasers, and RF Microneedling.

The key isn’t just having options — it’s knowing which ones are right for you. Sydney and Nicole really are experts at doing these non-surgical treatments in a safe manner. We all pride ourselves in the philosophy that less is more and we never over-do it. That’s why I work closely with Sydney and Nicole to build a plan tailored to each patient’s specific goals.

If you’re curious about our non-surgical treatment options, please feel free to call Melissa to set up your appointment with the Dream Team a.k.a Nicole & Sydney.

Awww, so cute!

We were born to become your Dream Team!

03/16/2026

Wondering what happens during your first consultation at Bergen Eyelids? This quick video explains what to expect.

After meeting our amazing staff, you’ll sit down one-on-one with me.

This is where we talk about your goals and answer all of your questions about the procedure and the results you’re looking for. I take my time with every patient to make sure you feel fully informed and comfortable.

Many of our patients have already explored the website beforehand, so they come in knowing what they’re interested in and ready to ask more detailed questions. I wrote the content on our website myself - so it will sound like me (not chatgpt, haha).

Our goal is to make the entire process an overall amazing experience for you - clear, informative and comfortable. We’re looking forward to meeting you!

Today Sydney and Nicole used IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) to target the redness on my cheeks. This is a super bright light that decreases red and brows spots on the face.

Most patients do a series of 4 treatments, about once a month for the best results. (I bought the laser, so I can do it whenever I want, haha!) The light feels “SPICEY!” but the treatment is quick and well tolerated.

If you struggle with rosacea, redness, brown spots, freckles and random acne spots —> IPL is awesome!

Your friend: “Go to BergenEyelids.”
You: Say Less. 😏

It always warms my heart when I see a patient and find out that they were referred by a friend. I've had entire Majong Groups, Mom groups, old man groups, Facebook groups, high school friends, husbands and wives, and all sorts of different friend groups. I find it one of the nicest compliments I can receive when I'm referred by a friend.

But I also have a lot of patients who found me online. That's OK - that's how I found my wife, and she's amazing!

Either way, we are incredibly grateful to have such amazing patients who entrust my team and me with their health.

Reach out anytime — we’re happy to help.

This is a great example of a patient just 3 weeks after CO₂ laser resurfacing. This treatment is designed to improve sun damage, wrinkles, pigmentation, and overall skin texture.

There are some pretty wild pictures of CO2 resurfacing out there on the internets. I'm very conservative with it though—I'd rather do a less aggressive treatment and be safe than be too aggressive. But the results are amazing—the skin simply looks smoother, brighter, and healthier. But what patients notice most is how their skin feels and how their makeup goes on afterward.

CO2 resurfacing produces dramatic results but does have some downtime, which is why people pair it with an upper lid blepharoplasty. As the Spring is finally starting, we also do a lot of microneedling for texture and IPL for red and brown spots.

Feel free to call Jen and Melissa if you have any questions about CO2 resurfacing or any of our non-surgical aesthetic treatments.

Everyone’s talking about Jim Carrey’s 2026 new look - ouch! 👀

When it comes to facial aesthetics, the goal isn’t to shock people with a sudden change—it’s to impress them with results that look Subtle, but Dramatic.

For my patients, I definitely appreciate a more conservative approach. Not saying this in a mean way - but I think it’s important for my patients to know that this is not a surgical outcome I would aim for.

Before every surgery, I take my time with the markings.

This step is one of the most important parts of the entire process. Careful marking allows me to plan precisely and work calmly once we’re in surgery. When everything is thoughtfully mapped out ahead of time, I can focus on accuracy, balance, and creating results that look natural and intentional.

Great outcomes don’t happen by chance. I’ve learned from amazing surgeons, doctors, scientists and athletes. Great outcomes come from preparation, patience, and attention to detail—long before the procedure even begins. Taking this time allows me to tailor each surgery to the individual patient and make thoughtful decisions that lead to safer procedures and better results overall.

Great surgical outcomes starts long before the procedure itself. What this video doesn’t show is me reviewing my cases the night before. Nor does it show all the reading, research and videos I review on a daily basis. But that’s a story for another post!

This is a great example of a patient that has somewhat heavy eyelids and needed ptosis surgery to help keep their eyes more open. What's tricky about this surgery is that the outcome is measured in fractions of a millimeter. In a flat photo, the difference doesn't look like much, but to patients, it feels amazing to be able to keep your eyes open all day long and not feel so tired. Patients who have ptosis know the feeling, but if you don't have Ptosis it's hard to see the difference.

We know deciding on eyelid surgery comes with questions. Melissa is here to make the process easy and comfortable.

😍 Treatment: Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty (for hooded, heavy upper eyelids)⁠
🤩 Goal: Reclaim your youth! Bring back your eyes from your 20’s! ⁠
🤑 Cost: $5,700-$13,000 for upper lids (if ptosis surgery is needed), We accept PatientFi and Care Credit Financing.⁠
😜 Downtime: There's a stitch that we take out (it comes out very easily) - usually 5-7 days after the procedure. Most people can go to work that day or the following day. The swelling is 6 weeks, and I tell patients that in ptosis surgery, the first milestone is 3 months. It will be about 90% healed at the 3 month month mark, so that's the first time we evaluate the lid position.
🥴 Anesthesia: Uppers are almost always done with local numbing medication in the office.
