EYELID REJUVENATION RESTON
To properly address the signs of aging around the eyes, many aesthetic experts are combining eyelid fillers with eyelid surgery for complete eyelid rejuvenation.
This technique addresses concerns related to volume, skin, and fat for a 3-dimensional improvement to the eyes and a natural and refreshed appearance.
Before undergoing this combination of treatments, it’s important that patients are aware of the indications, benefits, and limitations of eyelid fillers and surgery.
So, is this approach right for you? Here’s what you need to know.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF EYELID FILLERS?
Eyelid fillers are usually comprised of hyaluronic acid and are used to restore volume and fullness to the eyelids and face.
Patients may initially address tired or aging eyes with a dermal filler, which can rejuvenate facial appearance and help patients look and feel better.
Additionally, many patients experience significant improvement in under eye bags, hollowness, and dark circles with dermal fillers.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF EYELID SURGERY?
Many patients seek eyelid surgery to lift heavy or hooded lids, reduce under eye bags and puffiness, smooth and rejuvenate delicate skin around the eye, and remove excess skin for an overall refreshed look.
Sometimes upper, lower, or a combination eyelid surgery is indicated.
Upper eyelid surgery focuses on removing excess skin, fat, and muscle to improve the contour and openness of the eyes.
Whereas, a lower eyelid blepharoplasty reduces crepey skin, bags, and bulging fat from the under eye by excising skin and removing or repositioning fat.
WHY COMBINE EYELID FILLERS AND EYELID SURGERY?
A skilled and experienced plastic surgeon understands the benefits and limitations of each of these eyelid procedures and, after a thorough evaluation, may conclude that both treatments are necessary to achieve desired results.
In fact, partial correction with only one of these methods could cause the untreated issues to become more noticeable over time.
Fortunately, the effects of eyelid fillers and surgery often complement each other in such a way that volume is restored, wrinkles are diminished, fat bulges are eliminated, and loose skin is excised.
As a result, eyelids are transformed, and patients appear well-rested, natural, and younger.
