How Aging Affects the Appearance of Your Eyes

Posted on September 25, 2024

As we age, the eyes often show the first signs of the passage of time. At Aqua Plastic Surgery, we understand how changes in your eye appearance can affect your overall facial aesthetics and confidence. Below, our team of plastic surgeons and aesthetic specialists explores the common signs of aging around the eyes and discuss the cosmetic improvements available at our practice.

Common Signs of Aging Around the Eyes

• Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Often referred to as “crow’s feet,” these fine lines fan out from the corners of the eyes due to repeated facial expressions, like smiling and squinting, compounded over the years.
• Under-Eye Bags and Puffiness: Fluid retention, fat displacement, and weakening of the under-eye muscles and tissue often lead to puffiness and bags, which can make one appear tired even after a full night’s sleep.
• Droopy Eyelids: As skin loses elasticity with age, excess skin can accumulate on the upper eyelids, causing them to droop. This not only affects aesthetics but can also impair vision.
• Dark Circles: Changes in skin thickness and loss of fat and collagen can make the reddish-blue blood vessels under your eyes more apparent, creating a tired look.

Cosmetic Improvements at Aqua Plastic Surgery

At Aqua Plastic Surgery, we offer a variety of treatments to rejuvenate the eye area, making you look more rested and youthful. In many cases, our best solution is blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery. This procedure can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on the patient’s needs.

Blepharoplasty is designed to remove or reposition excess tissue around the eyes. For the upper eyelids, it can eliminate the droop that may impair vision and restore a more open, alert appearance to the eyes. For the lower eyelids, it can reduce the appearance of under-eye bags and tighten the skin to diminish puffiness and shadows.

Beyond blepharoplasty, we offer non-surgical treatments such as fillers to restore volume and reduce the appearance of dark circles or laser treatments to smooth out fine lines and rejuvenate the skin around the eyes.
