Put the sparkle back in your eyes with facial plastic
surgery
 The
"eyes" have it! Or do they? The eyes are the focal point
of the face, and, for better or worse, have a tremendous
impact on the way you look.
Eyes that
sparkle convey a sense of youth and energy. Unfortunately, signs
of aging often appear earliest around the eye. You may feel great,
but your eyes may seem tired or sad.
If the natural
sparkle of your eyes has begun to fade because of sagging brows,
puffy or drooping eyelids, take heart. A number of facial plastic
surgery procedures are available to revitalize your eyes and give
you a fresher, more youthful appearance.
Perhaps little folds of
skin have begun to hang over your upper eyelids. Upper lid surgery
can open your eyes and brighten your outlook. Tiny incisions are
hidden in the natural creases above each eye. Excess skin and
fatty tissue are removed and the incisions are closed with fine
sutures.
A lower lid
procedure may be recommended if you have puffy "bags" under your
eyes. Incisions are made either inside the lower eyelid or in
a natural smile crease below the lashline. Sutures dissolve or
are removed after a few days. Upper and lower eyelid surgery may
be done at the same time.
Eyelid incisions
heal quickly and scars are nearly invisible. Friends may not even
be able to tell that you've had eyelid surgery--although they
are likely to notice that you are looking great.
Drooping eyebrows,
saggings forehead wrinkles, or a perpetual worried look can overshadow
your eyes--and make you seem angry or unapproachable. A number
of techniques--all referred to by the general term "browlift"--are
used to correct sagging in the forehead area. Browlift procedures
can raise and reshape the eyebrows, lift and tighten the forehead
skin, and relax vertical creases between the eyebrows.
Incisions
for browlift procedures may be hidden in the eyebrows, the hairline,
or in natural facial creases. If both your eyelids and your brows
need treatment, the browlift procedure may be done at the same
time as eyelid surgery.
