Eyes & Brows Before & After Photos — Vancouver, BC

The gallery identifies the patient photographs as unretouched. Because before and after images are captured at different appointments, lighting, expression, posture, framing, and camera position may vary slightly between photographs.

Timing varies by procedure and patient. The published gallery includes examples photographed days, months, and sometimes a year or more after surgery. When available, each case description states the time since the procedure so you can interpret the result within its healing stage.

No. The gallery can help you understand the range and style of published outcomes, but your result will depend on your eyelid anatomy, brow position, skin quality, healing, procedure, and goals. A consultation is needed for individualized guidance.

8 West Clinic groups blepharoplasty, brow lift surgery, and double eyelid surgery within its Eyes & Brows category. A plan may focus on one procedure or combine approaches when more than one anatomical area contributes to a patient’s concerns.

Upper blepharoplasty addresses the upper eyelid and may remove excess skin and selected fat through an incision placed in the natural eyelid crease. Lower blepharoplasty targets under-eye bags, puffiness, excess skin, or related lower-lid concerns. The precise technique depends on the patient’s anatomy.

A brow lift repositions a low or descending brow and can help open the upper eye area. Blepharoplasty treats the eyelids themselves. Because brow position can influence upper-eyelid heaviness, Dr. Buonassisi evaluates the brow and eyelids together before recommending a procedure.

Double eyelid surgery creates a defined upper-eyelid crease. 8 West Clinic describes both incisional and suture techniques. The appropriate option is selected according to eyelid anatomy, existing crease pattern, tissue characteristics, and the patient’s goals.

Recovery varies by procedure. The clinic advises that many blepharoplasty patients take about one week away from work and approximately two weeks away from strenuous activity, while brow-lift patients may need three to four weeks away from vigorous exercise. Double-eyelid patients often return to normal activities within one to two weeks. Swelling can continue to settle after these early milestones, so follow your own surgical instructions.

Incision placement depends on the procedure and technique. Upper-eyelid incisions are commonly placed in the natural crease, while many brow-lift incisions are positioned in the hairline or natural folds. Scars generally change and fade over time, but healing varies and should be discussed during consultation.

Yes. The clinic’s gallery includes combination cases such as upper blepharoplasty with brow lift and eyelid procedures performed with other facial surgeries. Combining procedures is not appropriate for everyone; the recommendation is based on anatomy, health, priorities, and surgical planning.

Begin with an Eyes & Brows pre-assessment or consultation. The 8 West Clinic team can review your concerns, photographs, medical information, goals, and the procedures that may be relevant before an in-person surgical recommendation is made.
