Fine Lines with Suzie and Michelle

They say the eyes are the window to the soul. Lately, they’ve also become one of the biggest conversations in aesthetics. In this episode, Suzie Carroll sits down with Chicago oculoplastic surgeon Dr. Phelps for a conversation all about the eyes. They talk under-eyes, blepharoplasty, tear-trough filler, Bradley Cooper, and why “fix my eyes” is never as simple as it sounds. Suzie brings her own bleph experience and non-surgical perspective, while Dr. Phelps shares how he actually consults with patients, what he looks for first, and where things can go wrong. Together, they break down what works, what doesn’t, and how to get the eyes right without losing the face. A little bonus: keep an ear out before the 10-minute mark. There’s a special Fitz promo tucked into the episode. And for listeners interested in Dr. Phelps’ practice, Chicago Oculofacial Plastic Surgery is currently offering a spring special: $50 new patient eye vein removal. Host: @suzie.carroll.npGuest: @paul.phelps.mdProduction: @teddywafflesSet: @thestudiochicagoBrand: @thefitz Follow us so you catch every episode!
