Tired eyes & eye bags are a clear sign of aging. Resorption of thin skin, bone, fat & muscles surrounding the orbit result in sagging of the supporting skin & eye structures, and herniation of fat pads. Sun damage also contributes to aging eyes. We have 4 strategies for managing how the region around your eyes age.
Strategy 1 – Non-surgical peri-orbital rejuvenation includes multiple treatments like Botox for wrinkles, Bio-regenerative volumizers for sunken eyes, laser skin resurfacing for wrinkles, & thread-lifts for skin tightening. Dr. Destang avoids the use of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers in this region due to the risk of adverse effects & un-natural appearances.
Strategy 2 – Uplift™ endoscopic eye & brow lifting surgery, using small entry points for opening, elevating & refreshing the eyes. This procedure is more suitable for patients with early signs of aging eyes.
Minimally invasive surgical options are also available for Eyebags.
Strategy 3 – Surgery with surgical blepharoplasty. Options include an upper blepharoplasty, a lower blepharoplasty, or a combination of both upper & lower treatments. Lower blepharoplasty in some patients may also need a additional support with a canthopexy tightening outer eyelid lift surgery for best results and additional lower eyelid reinforcement.
Strategy 4 – Brow & Eye lifting, for greater opening of the eyes, especially for patients experiencing heavy brows & eyelids after Botox treatments.
