Upper Blepharoplasty
I am very happy with the results of my eyelid surgery. I debated about doing this for a very long time and only wish I had done this sooner. Excellent experience with Dr. Copeland and everyone on her staff.

Eyelid Surgery
I am very happy with the results of my eyelid surgery. I debated about doing this for a very long time and only wish I had done this sooner. Excellent experience with Dr. Copeland and everyone on her staff.
This was my 4th thermage treatment with Dr. Copeland, and I have been seeing her for skin treatments to improve the quality of my skin. My skin is glowing and I’m happy with the results! I’ve been coming to her for 5-7 years. I only trust Dr Copeland with these procedures because I’m a little bit outside the box with my complexion and skin tone and she always knows what to do to make me look beautiful. People never guess my age thanks to Dr Copeland and my genes. It’s always a pleasant experience. And she also did surgery on my eyes which now look wonderful and so natural.
Dr Michelle Copeland is one of the most wonderful doctors I have known. She really sees me and understands what I need and then brings her expertise, her sensitivity and kindness into the work. She did breast reconstruction and work on my eyes and I couldn’t be happier.. Mostly Above all, she is a wonderful human being and I was in excellent hands on every level.
One day, almost out of the blue, I noticed these ugly soft lumps on my eyelids, that were growing out of nowhere. I consulted with Dr. Google and learned that they are cholesterol pads aka xanthelasma. They are apparently harmless but were seriously creeping me out. And they were growing, first one eye and then the other. I went to regular doc and got the cholesterol low down but meanwhile also got a consultation with Dr. Copeland, who was recommended by a friend.
I am very glad that I did. The consultation appointment was very helpful. The staff takes pictures, and the doctor explained everything carefully. I had two problems – one the lumps and two my lids were severely drooping, affecting my vision. She outlined a few options, including doing nothing.The office followed up with a call to make sure that I understood another option, a laser removal I believe. Fixing the droop – Blepharoplasty – would, if medically necessary, be covered only after 65 under Medicare, and I was having a hard time deciding if I should wait, a few years, or if I could afford to do it now.
I finally made the decision to do both the removal of the lumps and the droop fix 🙂 It was all just amazingly painless. Lots of swelling and icing of course, but i was surprised that it was only uncomfortable not painful. Everyone on the team, from the receptionist, the nurse, masseuse, and anesthesiologist, was calm, kind, competent, and lovely. Through the first follow up appointment, with removal of stitches and a light touch massage, it was been a success. It will be a few more weeks until completely normal, but quite comfortable now. Looks and feels much better. YAY Dr. Copeland!
My vision was severely impaired by drooping eyelids. Dr. Copeland did a remarkable job correcting this surgically. My vision and appearance are dramatically improved. I cannot recommend this physician more highly. This was a wonderful experience.
Great results. I had eyelid droop so severe that it was affecting my vision. The upper, vertical part of my field of vision had become obscured by my upper eyelids which projected out over my eyelashes. Dr. Copeland expertly cut back the upper lids to correct for that, and, of course with my consent, she also did some work on the lower lids (since I was already undergoing anesthesia). The results are fantastic. Exactly what I wanted, so clinically not only is my field of vision restored but the cosmetic affects are superb. Understated. No one would realize that I had an eyelift, except that I look (to others) inexplicably good. That’s what I wanted.
Office handled the whole process effectively, conveniently and with reassuring care.
Just remember though, that this is real surgery, and if one does this, you will look like hell for the first 3 days… after that things improve. So don’t panic; be a patient patient.

Dr.Copeland was attentive to my concerns, clear about the procedure and informative about the options and the results of the procedure all I hoped it would be. Lauren was not only very competent but very caring and comforting as well.
I am so happy with the results of my surgery. I know that its success had a lot to do with your attention and kindness. It’s been a pleasure to come to the office- even when I was a complete zombie. Thanks for everything.

I want to tell you how very pleased I am with the results of my recent “nip and tuck.” The recovery was effortless, and we are all pleased with the result. Friends tell me I look like myself—five to 10 years ago. And my parents and sister visited over Thanksgiving and never noticed the change. That’s a natural result. Thank you so much for your excellent treatment plan and expert work.
