How to Rejuvenate Tired Eyes
Are you starting to notice your eyes are becoming puffier or angry-looking as you get older? Are friends and family starting to make comments about you looking tired, even though you are getting plenty of restful sleep?
Eyelid lift surgery, or blepharoplasty, can help you. These procedures are designed to improve the appearance of the eyes. Because many people struggle with a prematurely aged eye area, eyelid rejuvenation is one of the most sought-after aesthetic treatments in the United States. If you live in Los Angeles or the surrounding area, you’re in luck – Dr. Stephen Bresnick is one of the most sought-after and highly trained plastic surgeons for these procedures.
Why Is Taking Care of Your Eyelids So Critical?
The eyelids exist to protect our eyes against dirt, dust, pollen, and other harmful substances that travel through the air. Our eyelids also help us sleep comfortably while keeping the eyes moist with a tear film that keeps out harmful microbes and bacteria.
Not only does the thinnest skin on your entire body cover your eyes, but it also contains delicate nerves and muscles and is your eyes’ only protection against the elements. Patients who wish to undergo eyelid rejuvenation will often come to Dr. Bresnick complaining about one or more of the following conditions:
- Having a tired look
- Heavy, droopy eyelids
- Undereye bags, puffiness, or dark skin tone
- Excess, wrinkled, crepey skin on the upper and lower eyelids
Depending on your cosmetic goals, one or more of the following eyelid lift procedures can successfully correct most of these challenges.
Upper Eyelid Lift
Dr. Bresnick removes excess skin and fat through an incision concealed within the upper eyelid’s natural fold. An upper eyelid lift can dramatically improve your overall facial appearance and result in a more awake and refreshed look.
Eyelid Lift With Botox or a Forehead Lift
For patients needing a broader improvement to the eyelid and brow area, an eyelid lift performed together with Botox, or a forehead or brow lift can rejuvenate the entire upper face. With the forehead tighter, wrinkles smoothed away, brows, and the upper eyelids tightened, the patient is rewarded with an alert, attractive, and youthful appearance.
Lower Eyelid Lift
With a lower eye lift procedure, Dr. Bresnick eliminates excess fat and skin through an incision expertly hidden below the lower eyelashes. He may also tighten the lower eyelid for some patients, resulting in a more youthful eyelid shape. Finally, laser resurfacing can further tighten the skin reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
Lower Eyelid Fat Removal
Known as “transconjunctival blepharoplasty,” this scarless procedure removes excess lower eyelid fat through an incision hidden inside the eyelid. You may even find this procedure on its own might be all you need to freshen up for a more youthful appearance.
Lower Eyelid Tightening
Patients with loose or droopy lower eyelids may benefit from a tightening procedure of the lower eyelid known as canthopexy, which results in a more youthful appearance.
