Facial Aesthetic

As we age there is increased laxity and sagging of the soft tissues and skin. 

In the upper face this results in: 

• Drooping of the eyebrows
• Hooding of the eyelids
• Resting forehead lines
• Hollowing of the temples

Other anatomic changes in the face include:

• Downward descent of soft tissues lead to deeper lines
• Loss of elasticity results sagging and puffiness around the eyes
• Loss of facial fat leads to deflation and hollows
• Changes in the color and texture of the skin

Oculofacial plastic surgeons are the only type of surgeons that have training in both surgery of the eyes and soft tissues of the face.

When having procedures performed around your eyes the utmost care must be taken in order to preserve the delicate function of the eyes. There are both aesthetic and functional implications to surgery in this area. That is why we recommend having your surgery performed by an expert – an Oculofacial Plastic Surgeon.
