Restoring
your eyes
needs to
address
three
concerns:
volume,
texture,
and/or
skin
excess. In
general,
upper
eyelid
treatment
is more
direct.
Lower
eyelid
treatment
is often
part of
overall
facial
rejuvenation.
Skin
excess:
Removing
lower
eyelid
skin is
almost
never
required.
In fact,
removing
skin from
your lower
eyelid is
likely to
change the
shape of
your eye.
Tucking
your
eyelid
skin helps
to both
eliminate
excess
skin, as
well as
replacing
lost eye
volume.
Using a
laser, the
surface of
your skin
excess is
vaporized,
and then
tucked.
Texture:
Just as a
rubber
band
looses its
elasticity
over time,
your skin
becomes
loose over
time. If
you have
little
skin
excess, or
if your
eyelid
skin is
“crêpe,”
laser
resurfacing
rejuvenates
your skin.
Resurfacing
creates a
controlled
injury to
your
eyelid
skin. As
the injury
heals,
your skin
becomes
smoother.
Although
you will
experience
some
redness,
this can
be
camouflaged
by
make-up.
Volume:
(See
Eyelid
Rejuvenation)
Commonly,
restoring
volume is
used for
lower
eyelid
treatment.
Lower eye
area
volume has
a major
impact on
your
overall
appearance.
Fat
grafting
is the
most
common
technique
for adding
volume.
The
tissues
under the
eyes has a
flat
gently
tense tone
in youth.
Age and
other
factors
can let
the
muscles
sag and
fat bulge.
Some call
this
protrusion
blepharochalasis
and more
commonly
called
under eye
bag or
baggy
eyelid. It
is a very
common
condition
seen with:
-
Normal
aging
-
Fatigue
or
being
tired
-
Allergies
-
Swelling
-
Obesity
-
Certain
medical
problems
Conditions
associated
with eye
bags:
-
Blepharochalasis
-
uncommon
combination
of
protruding
skin
folds
of
eyelids,
severe
thinning
of
lid
skin,
recurrent
episodes
of
lid
swelling
and
inflammation
-
Dermochalasis
-
extra
skin
-
Hypertrophy
of
the orbicularis
muscle
-
eyelid
muscle
overgrowth
-
Protrusion
of intraorbital
fat
-
brow
ptosis
-
baggy
upper
eyelids
from
drooping
brows
-
Combination
of
the
above
problems
Blepharoplasty
for eye
bag
removal
depends on
the
individual
problem(s).
Blepharoplasty
sculpture
is often a
blend of
individual
elements
to address
each
component
of what
has caused
the baggy
eyelids.
