Types of Procedures
Here are some of the most common cosmetic eye procedures:
Blepharoplasty (eyelid lift)
This procedure removes excess skin and fat from the upper and/or lower eyelids. It can improve the appearance of sagging eyelids, under-eye bags, and puffiness around the eyes.
Laser skin resurfacing
Laser skin resurfacing can improve the texture and tone of the skin around the eyes.
Botox injections
Botox is a neuromodulator that can be used to relax the muscles that cause wrinkles around the eyes, such as crow’s feet.
Brow lift
This procedure lifts the eyebrows to create a more youthful appearance and open up the eye area. It can also help to reduce the appearance of forehead wrinkles.
Dermal fillers
Dermal fillers can be used to add volume to the under-eye area, reducing the appearance of hollowness and puffiness.
Chemical peels
Chemical peels can improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes by removing the outer layer of skin.
