Kris Jenner’s new face has everyone talking, and Dr. Koehler shares his opinion on the thoughtful combination of procedures behind her refreshed look.One of the biggest signs of aging? Hollows, bags and sags in the eyelids that make people say, “You look tired.” Eyelid surgery can fix that, and when done right, no one will even know. Combine it with other procedures, and the results are even better.A brow lift can open up the eyes, while fat removal and repositioning help smooth out puffiness and hollows for a more balanced look.Sometimes fat is gently taken from the abdomen and placed under the eyes to restore volume. A CO2 laser can then tighten and brighten the skin for a final touch.Dr. Koehler explains how the eyes change with age, why filler doesn’t mix well with eyelid surgery, and whether men are as bothered by tired eyes as women.Read more about eyelid surgery, facial fat grafting and brow liftRead more about Kris Jenner’s new face liftAlabama the Beautiful is the cosmetic surgery podcast co-hosted by Dr. James Koehler, a surgeon with over 2 decades of expertise in cosmetic surgery and his trusty co-host Kirstin, your best friend, confidante, and the snarky yet loveable “swiss army knife” of Eastern Shore Cosmetic Surgery.Have a question for Dr. Koehler or Kirstin?

Dr. Koehler and Kirstin demystify the decision-making process behind combining vs. staging breast lifts and augmentations. A breast lift (or as Dr. Koehler calls it, a “de-sagging” procedure) reshapes and lifts the breasts but doesn’t add fullness.

Who’s a good candidate for each approach? Dr. Koehler tailors his recommendations based on your anatomy and goals—but he won’t budge when it comes to patient safety.Find out why some people must stage their procedures, no if’s, and’s or but’s about it, the risks of combining a lift and augmentation, and how long you need to wait between surgeries.Read more about breast augmentation and breast liftAlabama the Beautiful is the cosmetic surgery podcast co-hosted by Dr. James Koehler, a surgeon with over 2 decades of expertise in cosmetic surgery and his trusty co-host Kirstin, your best friend, confidante, and the snarky yet loveable “swiss army knife” of Eastern Shore Cosmetic Surgery.Have a question for Dr. Koehler or Kirstin?
