Do you Look Your Age?
The first visible signs of aging are shown around the eyes. Droopy upper eyelids and lower eye bags, wrinkles and extra skin make you look much older than you feel. Any eyelid surgery requires a specialist. Not just any specialist, but a plastic surgeon who has extensive training and has years of experience in surgically correcting extra skin and herniated fat of the upper and lower eyelids. Patients commonly and falsely assume that a surgery like upper and lower eyelid surgery is minor. The recovery might be slightly easier than some more involved plastic surgical procedures, but the actual surgery itself is quite delicate.
What actually happens to make you look old?
Excess skin laxity and puffiness of the lower eyes can cause you to look older than you are, especially when there are excessive wrinkles. “Crow’s feet” or wrinkles around the lateral sides of the eyes are a tell-tale sign of aging and when corrected make a tremendous improvement in the person’s appearance. Laxity in the lower eyelid skin and the development of lower eye bags and the development of the “tear trough” with thinning of the skin and exposure of the bottom part of the orbital bone gives one a hollow and gaunt appearance. Extra skin of the upper eyelids that makes the upper eyelid crease less sharp with hanging skin makes the upper eyelid appear much older than it actually has to.
Changing the way you look
Eyelid surgery is a relatively simple fix, but a vital one to the way you look and feel about yourself. Eyelid surgery can remove extra fatty deposits, bags and extra skin and allow a more wide-eye refreshed look. This will have a profound impact on the way you look with less droopy skin and the procedure will take years off your face and make you feel better and more refreshed without people telling you that you look tired from the bags under your eyes.
