Eyes

Rejuvenating the eyes can revitalize the entire face.

Don’t Let Your Eyes Age You

The eyes are often the first part of the face to show signs of aging, because the skin in the area is thinner and more delicate than skin elsewhere on the face. Patients may start seeing wrinkles, depressions, lines, and dark spots begin to appear in their 20s. There are a variety of ways to rejuvenate the eye area that include surgical and non-surgical options. Wrinkles, sagging skin, eye hollows, and dark spots can be erased for a refreshed and youthful look.

The Brow Lift, An Aesthetic Surgical Treatment For The Eyes

For patients seeking the most complete correction possible, a brow lift is a wonderful way to address issues such as sagging skin, deep wrinkles, and a heavy or drooping brow. By lifting the brow and smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines, a brow lift can provide a more youthful and refreshed appearance to the face. Patients typically take 1-2 weeks off to recover from a brow lift, though this time may vary based on the type of brow lift performed. For example, an endoscopic brow lift has a much shorter recovery time than a classic or temporal brow lift, which require larger incisions. Dr. Zenn will determine the best approach for you based on your aesthetic ideals and lifestyle.

The Eyelid Lift Is Popular For Good Reason

Another transformative option is an eyelid lift or blepharoplasty, a procedure that addresses issues such as sagging skin, bags under the eyes, and excess fat in the eyelids. By removing or repositioning tissue and tightening the skin, blepharoplasty can provide a more youthful and refreshed appearance to the eyes.

Many patients find that recovery after a blepharoplasty is smooth and easy, and some even return to work in a week. As with any surgical procedure, swelling and bruising are to be expected, though these abate in a week or two. Results from an eyelid lift can be so good that a patient can delay or even avoid undergoing a facelift.

Non-Surgical Eye Rejuvenation

Non-surgical treatments are a powerful option for those who want to improve the appearance of their eyes without surgery. Procedures can include injectables such as BOTOX and dermal fillers as well as chemical peels. Non-surgical eye revitalization can address issues such as wrinkles, fine lines, dark circles, and eye hollows, resulting in a well-rested and youthful look. These procedures typically require little to no downtime and can provide long-lasting results.
