As we age, our eyes and the surrounding areas often show the earliest signs of aging. Droopy eyelids, bags under the eyes, and other cosmetic concerns can make you look older and more tired than you feel. Oculoplastic surgery can fix problems and make you look younger. It can also help you see better in some cases.

At SightMD, our experienced surgeons specialize in these delicate procedures, ensuring you achieve natural and satisfying results.

Addressing Droopy Eyelids

Droopy eyelids, or ptosis, can occur because as we age muscles weaken and loss of skin elasticity. This condition not only affects your appearance but can also impair your vision by obstructing your field of view.

Blepharoplasty is a common oculoplastic procedure that removes excess skin, muscle, and fat from the upper eyelids. This surgery can:

• Improve Vision: By lifting droopy eyelids, blepharoplasty can enhance your peripheral vision.
• Rejuvenate Appearance: The procedure provides a more youthful and alert look, reducing the appearance of tiredness and aging.

Treating Bags Under the Eyes

Bags under the eyes are often caused by fat shifting forward into the lower eyelids as you age. This can be exacerbated by fluid retention and loss of skin elasticity.

Lower eyelid surgery, also called lower blepharoplasty, addresses concerns by removing fat and tightening the skin around the eyes. The advantages include:

• Smoother Under-Eye Area: Reduces puffiness and dark circles, giving you a fresher appearance.
• Youthful Look: Helps to restore a youthful contour to the under-eye area, making you look more rested.

Other Cosmetic Concerns

Oculoplastic surgery can also address other common cosmetic concerns around the eyes.

Eyelid malpositions, such as ectropion or entropion, can be corrected to improve both function and appearance. Ectropion is when the eyelid turns out, while entropion is when the eyelid turns in. These conditions can be fixed through surgery. Fixing eyelid malpositions can help improve how the eyelids function and how they look.

Fixing a drooping brow can make your eyes appear larger and brighter. It can also reduce forehead wrinkles, giving you a more youthful look.

Botox and fillers can reduce wrinkles and add volume around the eyes without surgery. This is a non-invasive option for those who prefer not to undergo surgery. Botox and fillers are effective in reducing wrinkles and adding volume around the eyes.
