One of the first features people notice about you are your eyes. When dark circles and bags start to form under your eyes, it can rob you of your natural beauty and give off a poor first impression.
There are multiple factors that contribute to the formation of dark circles and bags. Frequently scratching or agitating the area will result in bruising, which contributes to the issue. This can be hard to avoid for those who suffer from asthma and allergies, as the constant irritation is difficult to ignore.

Noticeable signs of aging can often make you look much older than you actually are. The skin of the upper eyelids is quite thin and thus particularly likely to show signs of the aging process. An upper eyelid lift can correct these problems and give you a younger-looking appearance.
Excess skin on the eyelid can cause it to droop down and produce a worn-out look. Excess fat can build up in the upper lid as well, exacerbating the issue. Fine lines and wrinkles can also form in the area.
An upper eyelid lift will alter and remove excess skin and fat and […]
Tearing is a natural response that occurs in the body as a result of a number of factors. When the body overproduces tears, it can result in several unwanted side effects.
Excessive tearing can occur when there is a problem draining the tears, or when the body is simply producing too many tears. Excessive tearing can obscure your sight and cause distorted or blurry vision. When the skin surrounding the eyes is overexposed to tears, it can cause irritation and redness on the surface of the skin.

Sometimes surgery isn’t the best option to get the results you want. Surgical facelifts can tighten and restore your face, but they don’t restore volume to produce a more natural and youthful look.
Liquid facelifts add fullness and lift by injecting fillers into specific areas of the face. This increases volume and restores the contours of the face. The face is made more symmetrical and balanced, and wrinkles and lines are smoothed. Each filler used is specifically chosen to produce the best results for the patient.
For a fuller and more refreshed face, consider a liquid facelift. Dr. Gregory Lewen specializes in […]
The eyelids are a very sensitive part of the body. As such, complications can arise during and after surgery. There are many steps patients can take to avoid the need for a revision blepharoplasty.
During your primary blepharoplasty consultation, make sure your doctor knows what you expect from the surgery – communication will yield good results. Strictly follow the treatment plan given to you. If you don’t take proper care, you won’t see proper results. It’s also very helpful to research your doctor to ensure that they are qualified for and experienced in oculofacial plastic surgery.

Drooping eyelids can give you a worn-out look. Worse, they can impair your sight by reducing your field of view. Ptosis repair surgery can give you a more youthful look and improve your vision.
Excess fat and skin in the upper eyelids can cause ptosis. The eyelid is very thin, making it more susceptible to stretching from age, damage, or long-term contact use. In some cases, ptosis can be a result of weakened eyelid muscles, which can occur at birth or later in life.
If you want a more vibrant appearance or want to increase vision through ptosis repair surgery, contact us […]

There is no right or wrong age for having eyelid surgery as long as it’s being performed for an appropriate reason.
