Eye Rejuvenation
The eyes are some of the most noticed features of the face. When you have wrinkles, hollows under your eyes, and dark circles, you can look tired or older than you actually are. Rejuvenating your eyes with eyelid surgery or non-surgical treatments can address these problem areas and have you looking and feeling younger and more confident in your appearance.
What Are My Eyelid Surgery Options?
Saggy eyelids can give you a droopy appearance and even impair your vision if the skin hangs low enough. Eyelid surgery—also called blepharoplasty or an eye lift—can lift the eyelids and remove excess sagging skin.
Upper Eyelid Surgery
If your main concern with your eyes involves wrinkles or sagging skin on the upper eyelids, then upper eyelid surgery can address these problems. During upper eyelid surgery, your surgeon will make incisions on the crease of your eyelid, allowing them to trim excess eyelid skin and remove unwanted fat pockets. The remaining tissues in your eyelid are also tightened, eliminating the appearance of saggy eyelids.
Lower Eyelid Surgery
If you want to reduce the appearance of eyebags and dark circles under the eyes, lower eyelid surgery is an excellent option. With this option, your surgeon will make incisions in the lower lash line, allowing them to reposition fat deposits to fill in hollow areas or remove excess fat to eliminate puffy bags.
Can I Combine Other Facial Surgeries With Eyelid Surgery?
If you have wrinkles and sagging skin on other areas of your face that you would like to address, you can combine other procedures with your eye lift for total facial rejuvenation.
Brow Lift
Since the eyebrows are close to the eyes, a brow lift can complement your eyelid surgery results. The brow lift procedure can reduce frown lines and forehead wrinkles while lifting sagging eyebrows for a more youthful aesthetic.
Facelift
A facelift can provide transformative results for patients wanting to improve signs of aging in the rest of their face and neck. A facelift can reduce wrinkles, remove sagging skin on the jawline, and restore facial volume. At Coastal Plastic Surgeons, we often include a neck lift as part of your facelift to provide a smooth, balanced appearance between the face and neck.
What Are My Non-Surgical Eye Rejuvenation Options?
If you aren’t ready for surgical treatment but still want to refresh your eyes, we offer non-surgical treatments to reduce aging signs. BOTOX® Cosmetic and dermal fillers can be used to minimize the appearance of wrinkles and add volume to give you more youthful facial contours. Both options are injected into the skin in the location of your choice. BOTOX® Cosmetic works great for reducing crow’s feet lines by the eyes, frown lines, and forehead wrinkles. Dermal fillers are a good option for adding volume to the jawline, chin, and cheekbones to define and enhance these features.
