Cosmetic eye procedures
Cosmetic eye procedures improve the eyes’ and the surrounding area’s appearance. Wrinkles, under-eye bags, and drooping eyelids can all be addressed with these procedures. Botox injections, dermal fillers, and eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) are common choices
Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty):
- Upper Eyelid: Drooping or hooded eyelids are addressed by removing extra skin and fat.
- Lower Eyelid: Wrinkles and under-eye bags are lessened by removing or realigning excess skin and fat.
- Canthoplasty : Sometimes called "cat-eye surgery," canthoplasty modifies the position and form of the eye's outer corner.
Non-Surgical Options:
- Botox Injections: Reduce wrinkles like crow's feet by relaxing the muscles surrounding the eyes.
- Dermal fillers: lessen the look of wrinkles and bags under the eyes by filling in hollows and restoring lost volume.
Other Procedures:
- Ptosis Surgery: This procedure involves raising the upper eyelid to correct drooping eyelids (ptosis).
- Brow Lift: enhances the look of the eyes and upper eyelids by lifting the brow and forehead region.
- Laser Resurfacing: removes damaged outer layers of skin to improve skin tone and texture around the eyes.
- Eye Tumor Removal and Reconstruction: treats eyelid tumours and, following their removal, rebuilds the affected area.
