In this clinical case video, Dr. Bernardini reviews the 12-month follow-up of a lower blepharoplasty patient.
The patient’s journey highlights a frequent challenge: managing prominent eye bags and loose skin that didn’t respond well to non-surgical treatments. While dermal fillers are often used to camouflage hollows, they can sometimes fail to hide larger bags, making surgery the most effective and long-lasting choice.
Key highlights of the procedure:
- Bag Removal: Permanent elimination of lower eyelid puffiness.
- Skin Tightening: Addressing laxity to create a smooth, “clean” under-eye area.
- Mid-face Rejuvenation: Restoring the natural lift of the cheeks.
One year later, the results are seamless and the patient’s feedback is clear: “Would you do it again? Right away!“. This case demonstrates how specialized oculoplastic surgery provides a level of definition that fillers simply cannot match.
