First surgery in Jan 2022 - midface lift, upper and lower blepharoplasty with canthoplexy and muscle suspension. Revision surgery in August 2023 - lower blepharoplasty to correct herniated fat that wasn't there prior to surgeries. Removal of herniated fat, septal reset, cantoplexy and muscle suspension.
