The Eyes Have It!
They say the eyes are the windows to the soul; but they can reveal much more. Under-eye bags, puffy eyes, and drooping lids can make you appear older or more tired than you’d like.
Now, your eyes can look younger thanks to several effective non-surgical procedures, as well as long-lasting surgical procedures like eyelid lifts or blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery). Blepharoplasty is among the top surgical procedures requested by patients.
Non-Surgical and Minimally Invasive Soutions
About Faces Cosmetic Surgery and Med Spa perform non-surgical treatments to improve the appearance of the eyes. These procedures are popular for those looking for minimal or no down time.
Fat augmentation is a minimally invasive procedure which transfers a small amount of the body’s fat to areas of the face that have lost volume. The results of fat augmentation may often last for years.
Injections, like Botox®, Dysport® are often used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles between the eyebrows , forehead, or eye area— where crow’s feet occur. These are office procedures with very little down to no down time.
Surgical Procedures
Blepharoplasty and eyelid lifts are two popular surgical solutions for eye issues. Droopy eyelids not only can make one look older, they can also impair vision.
Blepharoplasty will remove the excess skin and fat of the lids. Bags and puffy skin are removed and wrinkles are softened. The procedure will give a more youthful appearance for many years.
According to recent market research, blepharoplasty is expected to increase in popularity globally well beyond 2028, with demand even increasing among a younger population.
Dr. Mikel Lo is one of the few fellowship-trained ophthalmic plastic surgeons—or oculoplastic surgeons—in the country, having trained in both cosmetic surgery and ophthalmology. He has significant expertise in this area. Many patients choose to have their eyelid surgery performed by Dr. Lo to get their best outcome.
Eyelid ptosis repair, is often called an eyelid lift, and is caused by a separation of the inside muscle of the eyelid from its natural attachment.
Eyelid ptosis repair repositions the eyelid to the appropriate level. While patients often confuse this with a blepharoplasty, no skin is removed in this procedure. Recovery is about one week.
This is a procedure that should only be performed by an ophthalmic plastic surgeon, with a great deal of experience in this area, like Dr. Mikel Lo.
The first step in having younger-looking eyes is by scheduling a consultation with Dr. Lo and his talented, professional staff —including two trained nurse injectors — to evaluate your needs to determine the correct procedure for you.
