48 year old male patient before and 2 years after bilateral lower blepharoplasty picture. Notice the maintained natural result. There was no fat removed explaining why there is no "hollowing" of the eyes.
33 year old female patient before and 3 months after bilateral upper blepharoplasty picture. Notice the nice natural improvement of her upper eyes. Again, no fat was removed which avoids the skeletonized and hollowed-out look frequently seen after this procedure (most patients think that looks worse than the aging skin they had before surgery). She did not want anything done to her lower eyes at this time.

55 year old female patient before, 3 days postop and 6 weeks postop after bilateral upper and lower blepharoplasty. Notice the minimal bruising and swelling at 3 days after surgery. The patient will undergo a forehead lift at some point in the future but was not concerned about her forehead and her eyebrow asymmetry at this time. The newer techniques for eyelid rejuvenation do not get rid of the periorbital fat because a common complaint after removing it is a skeletonized look - especially in the upper eyelids. This problem is seen more frequently in thin patients such as this one. The goal is to look natural and reshaping and repositioning accomplish this.
62 year old male patient before and 1 year after bilateral lower blepharoplasty and midface lift. Notice the correction of his tear trough deformity. There was no fat removed. The patient had no other procedures.
Anytime a human being gets cut (with surgery or trauma), scars heal the following way: Initially they are red, raised and hard. Within 6-12 months, they are flat, white and soft. Younger people ( <18 years old) have scars that might stay active or red for up to 2 years. Older people (>65 years old) have scars that might stay active or red for less than 3 months.
44 year old male patient before and 6 weeks after bilateral lower blepharoplasty. The scars are healing wonderfully.
39 year old female patient before and 1 year after bilateral lower Chicago Blepharoplasty Surgery. Notice the maintained rejuvenation. There was no fat removed. Notice she does not have a skeletonized look - which she would have been especially prone to given her anatomy. She has had no midface or facelifting procedures and no fat injection. Her nasojugal groove (trough under the eyes) correction is excellent.
53 year old female patient before and 3 months after bilateral upper and lower Chicago blepharoplasty. Notice the nice improvement of her periorbital area. No fat was removed (usually not in Dr Speron eyelid procedures). There were no other procedures done.
53 year old female patient before and 3 months after bilateral upper and lower blepharoplasty. Notice the eyelid rejuvenation achieved without a forehead lift.

56 year old female patient before and 6 weeks after a redo facelift, midface lift and upper and lower blepharoplasty or Chicago eyelid surgery. Her eyes have been nicely rejuvenated. No skin care program, Botox, peels or laser have been done. To me, this is a below-average result. There is some minimal left upper eyelid skin that can be excised, but the patient is happy and does not want a revision.
45 year old female Asian eyelid surgery patient before and 6 weeks after bilateral upper Chicago eyelids surgery. Notice the nice natural improvement of her upper eyes. She wanted to retain her ethnic features and did not want to achieve a Westernized eyelid. She did not want anything done to her lower eyes at this particular time.
45 year old female Asian eyelid surgery patient before and 6 weeks after bilateral upper Chicago blepharoplasty eyelid surgery. Notice the retained fullness and youthfulness of her upper eyes. No fat was removed which avoids the skeletonized and hollowed-out look frequently seen after a standard upper blepharoplasty procedure. Most patients think that a skeletonized look does not appear aesthetically pleasing. They also think it looks worse than the aging skin they had before a surgical intervention.
58 year old female patient before and 1 year after bilateral upper blepharoplasty & correction of ptosis with Chicago Eyelid Surgery. Notice the rejuvenated appearance and improved symmetry. The patient had no other facial procedures.
68 year old male patient before and 8 years after bilateral lower blepharoplasty with Chicago Eyelid Surgery. Notice the smooth lower eyelid appearance. There was no fat removed explaining why there is no "hollowing" of the eyes. Over time, there will be some recurrence of the fat even though the muscle and ligaments were tightened. However, most patients still prefer this over the unnatural hollowed appearance. This is considered an average result. Also notice that with only a lower blepharoplasty, there is no improvement in the nasojugal groove - a mid face lift would be needed to correct this.
45 year old female patient before and 8 weeks after a Short-scar facelift, midface lift and upper and lower blepharoplasty. Her periorbital area has been nicely rejuvenated. No skin care program, peels, collagen injections or laser treatments have been done. Notice the much improved skin tone and "eyelid-lift" effect achieved. The lids look natural and the eyelid aging is much improved. This is an average result.
59 year old female patient before, 2 days after and 7 days after bilateral upper and lower blepharoplasty. Notice the nice periorbital rejuvenation evident even early on. The maximal swelling after any surgery is typically 2 days after a procedure. Most of the swelling is gone by 1-2 weeks. 90% of swelling is gone by 6 weeks with the final result evident 3-6 months after the surgery. Scar maturation is complete about 12 months after the surgery.

48 year old female patient before and 6 weeks after bilateral lower blepharoplasty and midface lift. Notice the smoothness under her eyes in this close-up. She still has some edema of her lower eyelids above her scar and her scar is still hyperemic (red). Patients are not usually as swollen and red as she is at this point. However, she can still easily conceal this with make-up.

Notice the improved eyelid aesthetics and smooth, full, natural appearance. No fat was removed. Notice the chronic skin irritation (especially on the right) due to the patient taping herself before surgery because of her significant eyelid drooping.

"I thought I would have to hide out for a month - boy was I wrong!"
"I feel and look great!"
