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.
"I love my new eyes! What was I waiting for?"
"Wasn't there supposed to be any bruising? I would recommend this to anyone!"
"I thought I would have to hide out for a month - boy was I wrong!"
"I feel and look great!"
