Eyelid Surgery Before & After Case 368

This patient elected to pursue upper eyelid surgery along with CO₂ laser skin resurfacing on the lower eyelids. Their primary motivations included addressing sagging upper eyelid skin and reducing the appearance of fine lines and pigmentation beneath the eyes. The combined approach was chosen to improve both the contour and texture of the periocular region, resulting in a more refreshed and open look.

Throughout the treatment, the patient reported a well-supported experience with clear communication regarding each step. The recovery progressed as expected for both upper eyelid surgery and CO₂ laser skin resurfacing. Some initial swelling and redness in the days following the procedure were managed with standard post-procedure care. Over time, the patient observed a gradual enhancement in eyelid definition and smoother, more even-toned lower eyelid skin.
