Holy City Plastic Surgery · Bluffton, SC
"People keep asking if I'm tired."
You're not tired. But the lids have gotten heavy, the brow has settled, and your eyes keep telling a story that isn't true. Eyelid and brow lifts restore the open, rested look your eyes used to have, so the face people see matches how you actually feel.

You don't have to be sure. You just have to be curious.
Is surgery right for you?
Someone said "You look tired." Or "everything okay?". But you felt fine. Your eyelids are sitting heavier on the lash line, the brow lower than it used to be, your eyes read exhausted on a day you felt sharp.
If that sounds familiar, what you can't know from a webpage is whether what you are seeing calls for an upper lid procedure, a brow lift, or both. That is what a consultation is for.
Setting expectations
What Surgery Does and Doesn't
What it does
- You get eyes that match how you feel.The extra skin weighing down the upper lids is removed, so your eyes open the way they used to, and the heaviness people kept reading as tired is gone.
- You get your brow back where it belongs.When the brow has settled, lifting it back to its natural position opens the whole upper face, and often it's the brow, not the lids, that was the problem all along.
- You get a result that still looks like you.Rested and alert, not wide-eyed or surprised. The aim is to match what you actually feel.
The consultation is where you find out which addresses what you are seeing.
What You Don't Have To Worry About
- Looking surprised or wide-eyed.The result should read as rested and natural. Dr. Schimpf will tell you plainly if what you are hoping for would look overdone.
- Looking like someone else.The goal is your face, refreshed. Identity preserved.
- Being recommended more than you need.If the upper lids alone address what you are seeing, that is what is recommended.
The consultation is a conversation, not a sales pitch.
Recovery
What recovery is really like.
Most patients are back to social activities within one to two weeks. Bruising and swelling peak in the first few days and fade quickly. Final results continue to refine over the following weeks. Dr. Schimpf will walk you through the realistic timeline for your specific plan.
