Dr. Lacerna's Award-Winning Eyelid Lift
vs. Traditional Methods

Traditional lower eyelid surgery often risks visible scars and an unnatural “pulled-down” look, known as Cicatricial Ectropion.
Dr. Melinda Lacerna’s innovative approach eliminates these concerns by avoiding external cuts and scars. She uses a technique to remove excess fat behind the eyelids, helium plasma to tighten skin from the inside, and nitrogen plasma for resurfacing on the outside. Fat grafting restores volume and smooths hollows, while exosome therapy improves skin quality and speeds healing.
This groundbreaking method earned Dr. Lacerna the Gold Medal for “Best Face Presentation” at the 2023 ISAPS Olympiad, making it the superior choice for natural, scar-free results.

The Eyelid Lift Technique

blepharoplasty
  • Upper Blepharoplasty: Removes excess skin and fat to enhance the eyelid crease, brighten your look, and improve vision affected by loose skin.
  • Lower Blepharoplasty: Repositions fat to smooth hollows and reduce puffiness, delivering a refreshed look without visible scars.
  • Quad Blepharoplasty: Combines upper and lower eyelid rejuvenation to address excess skin, drooping, and fat for a complete transformation.
  • Smooths wrinkles, tightens skin, and minimizes sun damage with advanced resurfacing technology.
  • Combines techniques like fat grafting and specialized serums to support healing, enhance skin quality, and deliver a naturally refreshed appearance.
  • Exosomes are applied topically on the delicate eyelid skin to shorten the healing time and further improve skin quality.

what to expect from your
blepharoplasty recovery

what to expect from your blepharoplasty recovery

The blepharoplasty recovery process is generally straightforward, but it’s essential to follow Dr. Lacerna's post-operative instructions carefully. Here’s what you can expect:

Initial Recovery

Most patients experience some swelling and bruising in the first few days after surgery. Keeping your head elevated and using cold compresses can help minimize these effects.

Return to Activities

Many patients feel comfortable resuming normal activities within 7-10 days after their eyelid surgery.

Final Results

While you'll notice improvements soon after surgery, the final results of your upper or lower blepharoplasty may take several weeks to fully develop as swelling subsides.

Follow-Up Appointments

Dr. Lacerna will schedule follow-up visits to monitor your healing process and ensure optimal results.
