Actual patients of Dr. Scott Ennis. These examples include combined procedures. Follow-up intervals were not supplied for these previews. Individual results vary.
What to look for in a comparison
- Separate upper-lid changes from lower-lid changes.
- Compare gaze, expression, lighting, and makeup.
- Check for a simultaneous facelift or rhinoplasty before attributing the whole result to eyelid surgery.

UNDERSTAND THE PROCEDURE
Understanding eyelid surgery
Blepharoplasty is surgery on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both. It can address excess skin and certain fatty deposits or bags. Some people seek an appearance change; others have a functional concern that requires evaluation.
An important distinction
Brow position and eyelid anatomy should be assessed together. A photograph cannot establish why an eyelid looks heavy or whether surgery would improve vision. Ask which structures are being treated.

Start with your own goals
Bring the changes you want to discuss, your medical history, medications, and prior procedures to a consultation. Ask about alternatives, including waiting or choosing no treatment. A gallery comparison is not a substitute for that assessment.
PLAN FOR THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE
Recovery & follow-up
Early recovery can include bruising, swelling, irritation, and dry eyes. Eye care, protection, medications, and activity instructions should come from your surgeon. Ask specifically about screen work, contact lenses, and your follow-up visits.

Daily lifeWork, transport, exercise, and help at home.
Ongoing careFollow-up visits and who to contact with concerns.
A BALANCED VIEW
Risks to discuss
Risks include dry eyes, difficulty closing the eyes, lower-lid malposition, infection, bleeding, and scarring. Vision changes and, very rarely, blindness are serious risks to discuss before surgery.

These examples are not a complete list. Ask your treating physician how your health, the chosen technique, and any combined procedures affect risk, and what follow-up care is included.
