    Tell Us What You’re Looking For

    I am so tired of my co-workers asking me whether I have gotten enough sleep. Honestly, I feel great—just like I did when I was 20. If only my eyes weren’t so puffy and wrinkly.

    Language is not the only way that human beings communicate to each other. Our facial expressions can evoke emotions, such as happiness, surprise, anger, or fatigue.

    Of all parts of the face, none is more communicative than our eyes. Our eyes can make us look tired or old. Sometimes this is just a temporary condition; a sleepless night, the flu, or a stressful week may cause dark circles under our eyes that will eventually go away when we are feeling better.

    But often, particularly as people begin to show early signs of aging, the eyelids themselves will change, modifying our facial expression in subtle but significant ways. The eyelids might be signaling “I am tired,” or “I am old,” even when we don’t feel tired or old!

    Rejuvenating the Eyelids

    Blepharoplasties are surgical procedures for rejuvenating and beautifying the eyelids. They are popular operations because they have restorative effects on patients in all age groups—whether in their 30s or in their 60s and beyond.

    For the upper eyelids:

    1. Elevate the lid margin above the pupil
    2. Excise drooping skin
    3. Remove excess fat
    4. Redefine the eyelid crease

    For the lower eyelids:

    1. Elevate the lid margin above the colored portion of the eye
    2. Tighten wrinkly skin
    3. Remove puffy bags

    When incisions heal, they are hidden and camouflaged. The result is a long-lasting, brighter, more alert, and more rested appearance.

    All surgical procedures are performed in accredited surgical facilities. Safety and high quality are our priorities.

    The latest technologies combined with the most meticulous eyelid techniques may help you achieve your goals. Contact us for more information or to request a consultation.
