Improving
the Appearance of Aging or Baggy Eyelids
Because
the eyes are the focal point of the face, they project
an image of youth or age, vigor or fatigue which
other people readily notice. In both women and men,
wrinkling or drooping skin of the upper eyelids
and bags and folds in the lower eyelids are often
the first sign of aging. Sagging of the eyebrows
and wrinkling of the forehead skin can also make
you look tired or unhappy. Accordingly, eyelid plasty
( blepharoplasty ) and brow lift ( forehead lift
) are very common procedures in Dr. Davidsons practice.
All

operated on by Dr. Davidson. Individual results
will vary. See About

In
the upper lid, removal of excess skin and fat gives
the eye a younger, more rested appearance. This
is performed through a fine incision in the natural
upper lid fold. In the lower lid, excess skin and
fat is removed through an incision just beneath
the eye lashes. These incisions usually fade very
quickly. Most patients are pleased to learn that
post operative discomfort is minimal.
