AM I A CANDIDATE FOR NON SURGICAL EYE LIFT?

Heavy brows can cause hooding of the skin over the eyelashes of the upper lids causing the entire brow-eyelid  complex to have a downward slant. This can make you look sad and tired.

Dr. Glavas uses Botox® treatment to elevate the brows. The result is similar to a brow lift lasting approximately four months. This is the choice procedure for many individuals that have busy lifestyles or do not want to have surgery for either social or medical reasons or cannot have long downtime for recovery.

Hollowing in the upper or lower eyelids may develop as a result of fat atrophy and collagen atrophy  due to  aging or previous  eye lift surgery. Non-surgical eye lift options  by Dr. Glavas  may be a good choice for patients who experience hollow eyes. Dr. Glavas uses fillers such as  Juvederm®, Restylane®, Radiesse®,  or the patient’s own fat to enhance the contour of the lids so  that the face appears rejuvenated.

“Crow’s feet,” also known as “laugh lines,” and deep wrinkles at the corners of the eyes can depress the eyebrows and make the skin of the eyelids look excessive and heavy. These wrinkles are caused by muscle movement.

Dr. Glavas uses Botox® injection or Fractional Laser skin resurfacing to smooth out these lines, relax the muscles, and lift the eyebrows for a more relaxed and rejuvenated appearance. Combination of treatments has a more potent and longer lasting effect.

Fine lines are found on the skin of the lower eyelids and develop as a result of years of facial animation and environmental and habitual factors such as sun damage, smoking, stress or simply skin aging.  These types of wrinkles are best treated by skin resurfacing using laser or chemical peels.
