Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery) Before & After Case 356

This healthcare professional chose to explore Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery) in Washington DC & Arlington after years of managing persistent under-eye bags and dark circles. She felt that these features did not reflect her inner energy and made her appear tired to colleagues and patients. After trying dermal fillers elsewhere and seeing little improvement, the patient wanted a longer-lasting solution. She discussed her concerns and goals with Houtan Chaboki, M.D., and felt reassured by his thoughtful, conservative approach.

The treatment involved transconjunctival and skin pinch lower blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) paired with facial fat transfer harvested from the abdomen and flanks. Gentle liposuction is used to take fat for fat transfer. This method addressed both volume loss and contour irregularities of the lower eyelids. The lower eyelid and cheek junction is smoother on all views.

Recovery was manageable; she returned to work in just a few days with only mild bruising and swelling and no notable pain or complications. The lower eyelid incision is imperceptible on close examination, with no visible scarring.

Positive feedback followed quickly. Her husband, initially cautious about elective cosmetic procedures, became supportive after noticing a healthy transformation. The results aligned with her wishes to look better, not different. She now feels her appearance accurately reflects her well-being and vitality and is planning further conservative enhancements—specifically upper eyelid surgery and Botox treatments—with Dr. Chaboki.
