The eyes speak volumes about a person’s age and energy level. Eyelid rejuvenation is the solution for bringing back that youthful vigor to the face and body confidence to the patient. Other hints of aging are minimized when the eyes are wide open and luminous. By undergoing minor cosmetic surgery or a dermal filler procedure, the entire face can look more energized, fresh and young.
Eyelid Hood Removal in Orange County
When the upper eyelids begin to lose their elasticity, the resulting sagging skin falls over the eyes, which is referred to as eyelid “hoods.” Blepharoplasty is a minor facial cosmetic surgery performed to eliminate eyelid hoods. With the use of forceps, medical scissors and forceps, the sagging skin is removed, and precise cauterization keeps bleeding under control. Once the surgical procedure is complete, the incision is closed with thin stitches.
Lower Eyelid Bag Elimination in Orange County
Another sign of aging is lower eyelids that are hollowed or baggy in appearance. As is the case with eyelid hoods, a loss of elasticity is to blame for the protruding fat responsible for under-eye bags. Eyelid rejuvenation can correct that problem. Tiny incisions are made either underneath or along the lash line in order to take out the fat deposits. Once the fat is removed, water soluble thread is used to suture the incisions.
Under Eye Hollow Fillers
Dark circles and under eye hollows are common problems for people of all ages and both genders; those issues put years on the face. Dermal filler eyelid rejuvenation can fill the grooves under the eyes. Dermal fillers, such as Juvederm or Restalyne, can be injected in the hollows above the cheekbones in order to smooth and flatten the concave area below the eyes. The result is a more youthful and less tired appearance.
