Tired-looking<br />
eyes dragging<br />
you down? With<br />
these popular<br />
treatments<br />
and tips, your<br />
peepers will be<br />
poppin’ in<br />
no time!<br />
Dubbed the ‘windows to the soul’, the eyes play a<br />
huge role in expressing our emotions and greatly<br />
impact the way we are perceived by the world.<br />
With age, the upper and lower eyelids can become heavy<br />
and wrinkled, contributing to a tired, aged or even angry<br />
expression. With fewer oil glands and less subcutaneous<br />
tissue, not only is the skin around the eyes thinner, it is also<br />
naturally less hydrated, leaving the eye region prone to<br />
premature ageing.<br />
Treatment, whether surgical or non-surgical, is dependent<br />
on your individual needs, desires and expectations.<br />
Advanced surgical and non-surgical techniques and<br />
treatments can improve your appearance, brighten your<br />
eyes and combat the signs of ageing.<br />
Blepharoplasty<br />
Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, removes excess skin and<br />
fat from the upper and/or lower eyelids, reducing bags<br />
under the eyes and countering sagging, hooded lids. The<br />
procedure essentially “opens” and brightens your eyes,<br />
removing a heavy, tired appearance.<br />
In addition to improving your appearance, upper eyelid<br />
surgery can also help improve vision and expose the<br />
eyelashes. It is performed via an incision that is hidden in<br />
the upper eyelid crease, where skin, muscle and fat are<br />
removed to reduce hooding in the upper eyelid. It can<br />
be performed alone, or in conjunction with lower eyelid<br />
blepharoplasty for more holistic results.<br />
Lower eyelid surgery involves excising or redistributing<br />
fat in the lower eyelid to counter puffiness below the eyes.<br />
Incisions can be made either inside the eyelid or just below<br />
the lower lash line.<br />
The skin is often tightened to smooth out the under-eye<br />
area, helping reduce the appearance of “bags” under the<br />
eyes and revitalising the appearance.<br />
Most patients experience only mild pain or discomfort<br />
following eyelid surgery, and recovery usually takes between<br />
one and two weeks. Results are long lasting.<br />
