Answer: Non Surgical Options for Eyelid Droopiness This is an excellent question! There will almost always be a non-surgical option to address issues with the eyelids and the face, though the biggest difference is how effective it is compared to surgery. This will vary widely based on the cause of your issues. If the droopiness is from excess skin, then there are several different types of laser treatments that can tighten this area and even some medical grade skin care products. If the issue is more from "bags" of fluid, then changes in the diet (low sodium, low sugar, etc.) can help minimize how much fluid the body holds on to. If the droopiness is more of a "hollowness" then sometimes this can be addressed with filler, creating a more smooth transition from eyelid to cheek. If the issue is from prolapsed fat or stretched out eye muscles (festoons), then surgery would likely be a more effective option than some of the non surgical adjuncts.

Answer: Treatments for sagging eye lids As a board certified plastic surgeon, I am often asked this question. The technique for improving sagging upper eyelids depends on the degree of loose skin, as well as the goals of the patient. The more loose skin, the more likely that surgery would be the answer. What most patients don’t realize is how quick the recovery is for this surgical procedure, called an “upper blepharoplasty.”. In just eight days, patients can be fully recovered, all sutures removed, resulting in a neat, clean upper eyelid. Most important is to produce a result that does not remove too much skin to produce the dreaded “deer-in-the-headlights” look. This is key -- and being an expert in revision surgery of the face (faces, noses, necks, eyes, chins), the difficulty of revisionary surgery of the upper eyelids is that if a prior surgeon removed too much tissue, or put the incision in the wrong place, there is little that can be done to improve the situation. It’s key to place the incision where it is not easily seen when a patient is in normal expression. When there is a mild or moderate amount of excess skin, there are some non-surgical options such as miconeedling with RF (radiofrequency) that can be helpful. Sometimes, expertly placed Botox can provide a slight lift to the upper-eyelid skin. Threadlifting is another effective, non-surgical approach. I would suggest that you meet with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and see what treatment would be best for you.

Answer: Non-Surgical Eye Rejuvenation If you have excessive upper or lower eyelid skin, or protrusion of the lower eyelid fat pads, surgery may be the best option. HOWEVER, there are many non-surgical eye rejuvenation options. 1. Botox. Placed in the right spots, botox can lift the eyebrows and upper eyelids. It can also smooth lines around and under the eyes. 2. Filler. Filler can be used under the eyes to rejuvenate. It can also be placed under the outer aspect of the eyebrow to give lift to the lid. 3. Laser resurfacing. The CO2 laser (Lumenis Total FX) works well to help lift and smooth eyelid skin. 4. Non-surgical lifting devices like Ultherapy can be used to lift the eyebrows and thus the lid. I recommend "multi-modality" treatment for eye rejuvenation. That involved a combination of options. For example, combining the use of surgical rejuvenation with CO2 laser resurfacing. Follow this regular botox treatments for improved longevity.
