The idea that characteristics such as puffiness, dark circles, and eye bags are solely caused by a lack of sleep is a common misconception. In truth, tired-looking eyes often result from the natural aging process and may develop regardless of the quality of one’s sleep the night before. Not only can signs of aging in the upper face cause you to look older than your actual age, but these features may also unintentionally convey anger, stress, or unhappiness. There are many treatments available to help you restore a brighter and more lively appearance, but blepharoplasty is usually considered the most effective procedure to achieve long-term results. By removing and repositioning excess skin/fat deposits causing a fatigued expression, blepharoplasty can help correct:
- Excess, sagging skin in the upper lids
- Puffiness underneath the lower lids
- Under-eye bags and dark shadows beneath the eyelids
- Wrinkles and fine lines surrounding the corners of the eyes (crow’s feet)
While they don’t have the capacity to provide long-lasting rejuvenation, non-surgical cosmetic treatments can also improve signs of aging to some extent. BOTOX® Cosmetic offers a convenient and minimally invasive way to reduce brow creases, wrinkles, crow’s feet, and wrinkling around the upper face. As a highly experienced plastic surgeon, Dr. Savetsky can help you assess the most beneficial options for your needs.
