The delicate eye area is often the first to show signs of aging, fatigue, or environmental stress. As one of Baltimore’s most trusted and experienced plastic surgeons, Dr. Michele Shermak is at the forefront of advanced, patient-centered techniques in eyelid surgery, offering subtle, natural-looking rejuvenation with modern innovations.
Top Blepharoplasty Trends
Today’s blepharoplasty patients seek refined, less invasive solutions prioritizing natural results and minimal downtime. Dr. Shermak embraces these evolving preferences by integrating the latest surgical trends:
Upper Eyelid Surgery Under Local Anesthesia
Many patients now opt for upper lid procedures performed comfortably in-office with local anesthesia, offering faster recovery and reduced risk.
Pinch Lower Lid Blepharoplasty with Fat Transfer
This conservative technique removes just a pinch of skin while repositioning or adding fat to restore youthful fullness under the eyes.
Fat Preservation & Relocation
Avoiding the hollow, overdone look, Dr. Shermak emphasizes fat preservation or relocation to maintain natural contours and volume.
Regional Lift via Hairline Incisions
For those with more significant aging signs, a gentle lift using discreet incisions near the hairline can elevate the midface and brow without extensive surgery.
Less Fat Removal, More Balance
Rather than aggressive fat removal, Dr. Shermak’s approach focuses on balance, smoothing puffiness while preserving a soft, youthful look.
Common Patient Motivations
Every eyelid surgery is unique, but common patient motivations include:
Facial Rejuvenation
Refresh tired or aging eyes while maintaining your natural expression.
Improved Vision
Excess skin on the upper lids can sometimes impair sight—correcting it offers both cosmetic and functional benefits.
Staged Rejuvenation Over Time
Many patients opt for gradual procedures to address different facial areas at different stages, allowing for subtle, long-term transformation.

Dr. Shermak’s patient-centered philosophy ensures results that are never overdone. Her refined surgical technique blends precision with artistry, focusing on what looks best for your individual features.
