What can I do to rejuvenate my eyes?
As an eyelid specialist, I see patients every day who are bothered by aging changes of their eyelids. I am often asked, “What can I do to rejuvenate my eyes?” Some of my patients come to see me with a procedure in mind and others are interested in simply knowing what’s possible. Below are surgical and non-surgical options for improving the appearance of the eyelids:
- Cosmetic Blepharoplasty: Cosmetic Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure where the upper and/or lower eyelids are rejuvenated. This involves the removal of excess skin and the tightening of the underlying muscle. Fat pockets are also trimmed and/or repositioned to improve the contour of the eyelid.
- Injectable FIller to the Lower Eyelids: Injectable fillers such as restylane can be injected into depression of the lower eyelid to improve contour. This can help to improve the appearance of lower eyelid bags and dark circles.
- Laser Skin Resurfacing: In my office I use a fractionated CO2 laser to improve the appearance of the eyelid skin. This laser reduces fine lines, gives the skin a more firm, smooth appearance, improves scars, reduces sun damage such as brown spots and reduces skin blotches. The laser can be used to treat just the eyelid skin or the whole face.
- Endoscopic Brow Lift: Sometimes a heavy appearing upper lid can be exacerbated by a low brow. The upper lid appearance is very much impacted by the eyebrow position. Eyebrows that have fallen with age can give a tired and heavy appearance to the upper eyelids. An endoscopic brow lift surgically repositions the eyebrows back to a youthful and natural position.
- Botox, Xeomin, Dysport (Neuromodulators): When strategically placed, neuromodulators can help to rejuvenate the eyelids. Neuromodulators can be used to subtly raise the eyebrows and decrease eyelid wrinkles. Neuromodulators are a great option for men and women to both improve the eyelid appearance and prevent wrinkles from developing.
