Eyelid suregery and tightening without cutting is possible
Many of my patients notice aging of their eyelids starting in their 40s and early 50s.
We do offer cutting surgery and removal of skin and fat but this option is only acceptable to a small percentage of my patients.
Cutting surgery of excess skin and fat (Blepharoplasty) requires downtime and is associated with scarring.
Rarely scars can become thickened and unsightly. There is also the usually larger cost of cutting surgery and downtime.
Non surgical treatment of the eyelids with Restylane fillers, Lasers such as Mixto Co2 laser
and Ultherepay are alternatives that should be considered.
Excess skin can be tightened and removed with laser. Hollowness and deep "tear troughs"
can be filled in with fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm. Pelleve, Venus Viva,
Thermacool CPT, Ultherapy are non surgical laser, Ultrasound and radiofrequency
devices that can tighten and lift the skin without the need for cutting surgery.
Downtime is usually shorter and the procedures are generally safer.
Please come in for a complimentary consultation.
