Do you wake up in the morning looking tired though you are well rested? The problem may not be that you arent sleeping well, the problem may be that your eyes are telling a story that isnt true. The eyes are a focal point of the face. With significant aging changes in the eyes, a person can appear to be quite tired though they are well rested. Fortunately there are options for rejuvenating the area around the eyes.

Periorbital rejuvenation takes on both surgical and non-surgical means. The area around the eyes includes the upper and lower eyelids, the brow, and the skin and creases between the eyebrows. Making these areas look younger can hold the key to an appearance of being well rested. There is no one solution for turning back the clock on the periorbital area so evaluation with a trained facial plastic surgeon is critical to determine what procedures may be necessary to obtain your goals.

There are many treatments available to help reverse signs of aging around the eyes. For patients who do not have time for recovery, non-surgical rejuvenation procedures such as Botox, Dysport, and facial fillers can be used to reverse some of the lines and crevices which produce the tell tale signs of aging. For patients who wish to ward off the signs of aging, judicious use of sunscreens and moisturizers can help to slow or prevent some signs of aging such as wrinkles and sun spots.

In some cases, significant aging is appropriately addressed with surgery. While all procedures have risks, the risks are generally minimal though consultation with a qualified and experienced surgeon is always necessary to determine if you are a candidate for treatment. Periorbital surgery includes upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty, forehead lift procedures, facial laser resurfacing, and medium to deep chemical peels.

Patients who undergo periorbital rejuvenation can enjoy major results with minimal investment. The eyes often tell the tale of a person in just seconds. They are the first part of a first impression. Periorbital rejuvenation can hold the key to making the best first impression possible.
