Happy Monday ! I recently saw this beautiful patient of mine who was 9 months post upper and lower lid blepharoplasty. I was thrilled with her final results, but interestingly she was not so happy. She was very kind and polite and we both have a lot of respect for each other, but it did prompt me to have a discussion about realistic expectations, as I am seeing more and more patients who are having difficulty with this issue.

I like to share before and after pictures/videos of my patients to educate people on what is possible to treat, how I approach certain problems, but also to show the quality of my work and my overall aesthetic sense. I have a very clear philosophy as to what I am trying to achieve with my patients. The whole point of my extensive consultation is for me to give them my expert and honest opinion.

My goal is to address the concerned areas and do it in a way that is natural and preserves function. My goal is not to make them perfect, or perfectly symmetric, or to erase every single line, every shadow or every imperfection from their face. That would be impossible and unrealistic. Any plastic surgeon who promises perfect results is either dishonest or delusional themselves.

Beauty is not about creating perfection, it’s about creating harmony. It’s also about the confidence we carry despite our perceived imperfections.

So next time you look at yourself in the mirror, be kind to yourself. Take a breath and look at the big picture. You are beautiful.

Beautiful natural results in this young lady who was bothered by her dark under eye circles which made her look tired.

The after picture was taken only 15 min after dermal fillers were injected in her tear trough.

When done correctly, under eye fillers can give great results and reduce or even eliminate the need for concealer. 🤓 @ Yorkville

The above picture is good example of what can happen when under eye fillers are done incorrectly or when patients are poorly selected. This patient had chronic puffy and swollen under eyes for years after having had under eye fillers 😰

The first thing I did was dissolve the old fillers (swipe left to see what it looks like immediately after dissolving). Next, I did a 4 lid blepharoplasty with co2 laser laser resurfacing to address the heavy under eye bags, upper eyelid hooding and loose skin that had developed after having chronically swollen eyes.

Make sure when you are getting your fillers done that you do your research on what you’d like to achieve & the injector. Not everyone is a good candidate for fillers around the eyes and sometimes it can age your face instead of improving your look.
