Lower Eye Lid Rejuvenation

Rejuvenation of the lower lids and upper cheeks has changed in the last decade with better understanding of the dynamics and anatomy of the tissue. By realizing that the problem of baggy eyelids is not the there is too much skin, but that instead the deeper tissues of the cheek have dropped down creating a hollow look.

Where as before, the idea was to tighten this by removing skin, the concept now is to elevate the deeper tissues and tighten the muscle of the eyelid to create a tighter draping of the skin without removal. In the example above, no skin or tissue was removed but only repositioned to create a more youthful and rested look.
