Greetings!

     Our topic for this month is lower eyelid rejuvenation.  Dark circles and bags under our eyes give a tired and heavy appearance.  This can be caused by many factors.  Unfortunately, the maturing process is the major culprit.

     Nasal allergies, thin skin, genetic susceptibility, and superficial blood vessels can lead to the dark circles under the eyes.  Increased sodium intake and poor hydration can cause the "bags" under the eyes to appear.

    However, the most common issue is loss of collagen and elasticity in the wall that holds the fat in place around the eye. As this wall weakens, the fat protrudes (bags) and causes a shadowed region below it (dark circles).  

     Blepharoplasty, or lower eyelid lift, removes the excess fat and trims the excess skin.  This leads to a more refreshed, rejuvenated, and youthful appearance.
     Look at the results below!
