Eyes

The slightest of muscle movements around the eyes can communicate so much; it can be distressing when the signs of aging around the eyes misrepresent how we feel. Baggy eyes and sagging eyelids can make us look tired and unrested even when we are feeling our best.

 


Visible Effects

Persistently puffy eyes can evolve into baggy eyes and sagging eyelids which add years to our appearance and, in some cases, a droopy eyelid can interfere with eyesight.

Underlying Causes

Sun damage, family history, allergies, sleep deprivation, fluid retention due to excess salt in the diet, lifestyle factors and hormonal fluctuations can contribute to the appearance of baggy eyes. As a result, in time, the delicate skin around the eyes begins to thin and the swelling simultaneously stretches the skin, leading to wrinkles and sagging of loose eye skin. The fat pads under the eye can also enlarge or descend while weakening musculature lets them hang as bags.


Solutions

Depending on the condition of the skin, non-invasive dermal fillers can add volume to sunken in eyes where neuromodulators such as BOTOX COSMETIC® treatments can be quite effective in minimizing crows' feet. Laser Skin Resurfacing is also very effective in reducing fine lines around the eyes. However, in some cases, eye lid surgery, known as blepharoplasty, may be recommended for optimal results. Eyelid surgery may be focused on the upper eye lid, underneath the eye or both. While it focuses on removing excess skin from the upper lids and bags under the eyes, blepharoplasty does not lift the brow or address crow's feet. Thermage may be beneficial for tightening eyelid skin. So many choices at Cutis. A blend of non-invasive procedures and surgery is ideal.
