Not all brow lifts are the same—and the right approach depends on much more than simply whether your brows have dropped.
When I evaluate someone for brow rejuvenation, I look at the entire upper face: brow position and shape, forehead anatomy, hairline, degree and location of brow descent, upper eyelid skin, and the result the patient is hoping to achieve.
Depending on those factors, different approaches may be considered—from a temporal or lateral brow lift to endoscopic or other surgical techniques.
And sometimes, what looks like an upper eyelid problem is actually being influenced by the position of the brow. That’s why deciding between an upper blepharoplasty, a brow lift, or a combination starts with evaluating how the brows and eyelids work together.
There isn’t one “best” brow lift for everyone.
The goal is to choose an approach based on the individual patient’s anatomy, concerns, and desired outcome—not simply the name of a procedure.

We all bruise - even the docs who treat you! Immediately after my PRP injections, I developed bruising under my eyes despite icing and taking Arnica. I gave it a few days then went to my go-to bruise treatment - Sciton Inc BBL! Thanks to this quick light treatment, the bruise disappears more quickly. Added benefit - light treatments with BBL are anti-aging!

Red scars after your upper bleph? Don’t panic. ❤️
One of the most common questions I hear after upper blepharoplasty is:
“Why is my scar so red? Is something wrong?”
In most cases, the answer is no.
As your incision heals, your body temporarily increases blood flow to the area. That healing response often makes the scar appear pink or red during the first several weeks to months.
The good news? This is a normal part of the healing process, and the redness typically continues to fade as the scar matures.
Every patient heals at a different pace, but remember:
✔️ Healing takes time.
✔️ Protect your incision from the sun.
✔️ Follow your post-operative instructions.
✔️ Be patient with the process.
Upper blepharoplasty scars are carefully placed within the natural eyelid crease, allowing them to become increasingly difficult to notice as they mature.

Every millimeter matters.
One of the most important decisions during an upper blepharoplasty isn’t whether I can remove more skin—it’s determining the right amount to remove for that individual patient.
No two patients have the same anatomy. Brow position, skin elasticity, eyelid function, and facial balance all influence my surgical plan.
The goal isn’t to remove as much skin as possible.
The goal is to create a natural, refreshed appearance while preserving normal eyelid function.
Thoughtful planning and precision are just as important as the surgery itself.
That’s how I think about upper blepharoplasty.

Many people assume that when their upper eyelids start looking heavy again, they need a second upper blepharoplasty.
Sometimes that’s true.
But surprisingly often, the real issue isn’t excess eyelid skin—it’s brow descent.
As our brows naturally lower with age, they push more tissue onto the upper eyelids, creating the appearance of “extra skin.” Performing another upper bleph without recognizing this can leave patients disappointed or even over-resected.
The key isn’t automatically doing more surgery—it’s making the right diagnosis.
During a consultation, I evaluate both the eyelids and the position of the brows to determine what’s actually causing the heaviness so we can recommend the most appropriate treatment.
If you’ve ever wondered whether your previous upper bleph “wore off,” this is an important conversation to have before considering another procedure.

“I got carded!”
That was the first comment I received when I walked in the room for her post-procedure visit. She’s 50 years old. By combining facial fat transfer to restore youthful volume along with Moxi laser to optimize the skin quality, we achieved a result that looks refreshed, natural, and authentically her. 🥹

The goal is never to make someone look different. The goal is for them to look healthy, rested, and confident. This is one of many reasons why I love combining regenerative treatments with laser technology. ⚡️

Most people think stitches are just there to close a wound. But in plastic surgery, stitches do so much more! They help reduce tension, support deeper tissues, improve alignment of the skin edges, and create an environment that allows healing to occur as predictably as possible. A scar isn’t determined only by where the incision is placed, but also by how the tissues are repaired underneath. That is why careful closure is such an important part of each blepharoplasty surgery.

One of the most common questions after eyelid surgery is:
"When can I get Botox again?"
I recommend waiting at least 4 weeks.
Why?
After blepharoplasty, tissues are still healing, swelling is evolving, and your final result is not yet apparent. Treating too early can lead to toxin migration and delayed resolution of swelling.
The best approach is to discuss timing with your surgeon, who can evaluate your healing and determine when treatment is appropriate.

Not all redness should be treated the same way. BBL is great for overall tone and pigment. Moxi improves texture and superficial renewal. But persistent redness, rosacea, and visible vessels require a different wavelength.
⚡️That’s why we’ve added ClearV and ClearSilk to our platform - allowing us to target vascular concerns more precisely and offer gentle collagen stimuation with minimal downtime. The anti-inflammatory benefits of ClearSilk make it a great pair with more aggressive resurfacing like our CO2 treatment. The right wavelength matters. Because better physics leads to better outcomes.
