I am excited to share my first “Case Study.” I believe that by writing about specific cases, it will help my current and future patients feel more comfortable with the process of eyelid surgery. Pictured here is a 54-year-old man who was bothered by his lower eyelid bags and heavy upper eyelids. He came to see me wanting to improve the way he looked.

I explained to him during his consultation that the best option for him was upper and lower lid blepharoplasty. This surgery would give him the improvement he was looking for, with a long-lasting and natural result.

On the day of surgery, we spent time together, before going into the operating room, discussing again exactly what I was going to do and what he wanted to achieve with the surgery. Then I carefully marked his eyelids. I use these markings as a guide during the surgery.

After surgery he went home with a private duty nurse for one night. He was able to start working from home after a few days. He came into the office a week later to have the sutures removed and was back in the office the following day.
