They say the eyes are the windows to the soul…but what about the eyelids? While eyelids may not be the first facial feature you think about, they have a dramatic impact on your eyes’ appearance. Lids also play an important role in facial balance and symmetry, making them a key focus of our cosmetic treatment plans in Tampa.
Read on for a complete guide to eyelid rejuvenation in Tampa Bay, including the range of procedures available at Florida Face and Body.
Upper Eyelid Rejuvenation
Whether due to genetics or natural aging, the upper eyelids can droop downward. This gives the eyes an older, fatigued appearance. Luckily, numerous cosmetic procedures can lift the upper lids and restore your eyes’ vibrancy, including:
- Upper blepharoplasty involves removing sagging or excess upper eyelid skin. If necessary, your Tampa cosmetic surgeon may also remove and/or contour the fat around the eyes to create a smooth, rested look.
- Lash repositioning involves surgically connecting the levator muscle to the eyelid’s surface, keeping the eyelashes in a lifted position. This opens up and rejuvenates the eyes
- Ptosis repair surgically corrects drooping upper eyelids by strengthening the levator muscle, which keeps the lids in a lifted position.
Lower Eyelid Rejuvenation
Under-eye bags are one of our Tampa clients’ most common concerns. Oftentimes, those bags result from lower eyelid issues. Lower lid sagging and bulging fat pads can create dark, puffy under-eyes, making your eyes appear tired and aged.
Thankfully, our experienced Tampa cosmetic surgeons offer multiple treatments to resolve these concerns, including:
- Lower blepharoplasty is a highly customizable procedure to lift drooping lower lids, remove excess skin, and erase under-eye wrinkles. It’s often combined with fat pad repositioning to prevent under-eye hollowing.
- Fat pad removal involves removing bulging under-eye fat and tightening weakened muscle and skin tissue to rejuvenate the under-eye area.
- Canthopexy strengthens the lateral canthal tendon at the eyes’ outer corners, giving the eyes an upward (or “positive”) tilt.
