Impressionable Eyes

We leave an impression upon others through direct personal contact “face-to -face“; whether addressing a co-worker, talking to a friend, or intimately gazing into the eyes of an attractive other. our eyes are a very important focal point of our face and therefore are a big part of translating our physical language queues to others, intentionally or not. The aesthetic appearance of our eyes can give the impression that we are alert, focused, stressed or sleep deprived.

Aging Eyes

It is natural for aging eyes to develop droopy, puffy, or discolored upper/lower eyelids. This can create the appearance of always being tired or lacking energy.

Genetically inherited sagging eyes

Some people genetically inherit eyelids that are droopy or puffy and discolored. This can create a vital misconception during first impression that the person is severely stressed or sleep deprived.

Other causes

Forehead and Brow sagging can also cause the eyelids to appear overhanging. It is important during the consultation to differentiate and determine the true cause as being from forehead/brow sag or pure upper eyelid skin excess. Presence of excessive upper eyelid skin resulting from Forehead & Brow sagging must be corrected by Forehead Lift and Browpexy rather than Blepharoplasty alone.

Blepharoplasty |  Beautify Your Eyes

Blepharoplasty is a relatively safe and effective solution for improving the appearance of our eyes. Each consultation will reveal a personalized recommendation as to which Blepharoplasty procedure must be implemented in achieving the desired results.

Upper eyelid Surgery – The purpose of the upper eyelid surgery is to remove excess skin, remove excess orbicular muscle or uplift drooping eyelashes to restore a more youthful appearance or improve peripheral vision.

Lower Eyelid Surgery – To carefully and minimally remove excess fat and repair damaged or loose skin for achieving a more youthful vibrant look. As Lower eyelid surgery can improve the skin firmness of the lower eyelid, it cannot however significanlty improve other lower eyelid symptoms such as dark circles or wrinkles known as “Crows Feet” found at the outer corner of the lower eyelid. For this Dr. Thomas recommends Botox for the safe and noninvasive treatment of minimizing or eliminating the Crows Feet and Restylane for the treatment of lower lid dark circles.
