A little bit of lift can go a long way . . . This 61 YO female is 2 months out from an upper eyelid #ptosis repair and cosmetic upper eyelid blepharoplasty. Ptosis is droop of the eyelid margin due to stretch of the muscle the elevated the eyelid. ... . . . There are several ways to perform this repair. We generally use the external technique. In combination with a cosmetic blepharoplasty, this removes the extra skin, rebalances the eyelid fat, and allows the ability to recreate the eyelid crease, giving us happy s See more

A lower eyelid retraction repair and 1 syringe of #restylane can go a long way . . . This 33 YO female developed right lower eyelid retraction after a prior eyelid surgery.

I went to law school when women were less than 3% of lawyers in the country; today, they are 50%. I never had a woman teacher in college or in law school. The changes we’ve made have been enormous.. I pray that I may be all that (my mother) would have been had she lived in an age when women could aspire and achieve and daughters are cherished as much as sons. -RBG 1933-2020
