Signs You Could Benefit from Eyelid Rejuvenation

Your eyes play an important role in the overall youthfulness and attractiveness of your face. Unfortunately, they are also one of the first areas of the face to show signs of aging. Although you may maintain a youthful and energetic spirit well into your 50s, 60s and older, over time, your eyes might start to tell a different story.

Eyelid surgery is an effective way to address signs of aging and rejuvenate the eye area. Read on as Dr. Reza Kordestani, a trusted plastic surgeon with offices in Woodbridge and McLean, Virginia and Chevy Chase, Maryland, reveals signs that you could benefit from eyelid rejuvenation.

Your eyes look tired, no matter how much sleep you get.

If your eyes look perpetually fatigued, sad or angry, you may be an excellent candidate for eyelid surgery. Every procedure is uniquely tailored to the individual needs of the patient, but generally the surgery involves trimming loose skin, tightening the tissues, restoring lost volume and smoothing wrinkles and fine lines to create attractive definition in the eyes. After surgery, you can enjoy a more rested, refreshed eye appearance.

Your vision is impaired by sagging upper eyelids.

Is excess eyelid skin obscuring your vision, forcing you to squint, tilt your head or raise your eyebrows to see what is in front of you? Do you find yourself experiencing headaches, neckaches or fatigued eyes because you work so hard to see clearly?

If so, you could probably benefit from eyelid surgery with Dr. Kordestani. By reducing excess skin and lifting and tightening the tissues, he can eliminate the obstruction in your visual field. Small surgical tweaks can have a tremendous impact on your vision and your overall quality of life.

Your lower lids have noticeable bulges or “bags.”

With age, the tissues and skin of the lower lids can loosen and thin, and fat can descend, creating noticeable bulges or bags under the eyes. This disrupts the smooth transition from the lower eye area to the upper cheeks.

If this bothers you, Dr. Kordestani can use surgical or fat grafting techniques to even out the transition from cheek to eyelid and minimize noticeable bags or bulges. He can also tighten the lower lid skin and tissues for more youthful-looking eyes.
