What Are the Signs of Aging Around the Eyes?
The eye area is particularly sensitive to the effects of aging and gravity. Common issues include:
- Drooping upper eyelids (ptosis)
- Puffiness or sagging in the lower eyelids
- Dark circles and hollowing under the eyes
- Crow’s feet and fine lines
- Brow descent and volume loss around the eyes
These changes can make you appear older, tired, or even angry—regardless of how you feel.
What Procedures Are Included in Eye Area Aesthetics?
Periorbital rejuvenation is often customized to each patient’s needs and may include both non-surgical and surgical solutions:
1. Upper Eyelid Surgery (Upper Blepharoplasty)
- Removes sagging skin from the upper lids
- Opens the eyes for a more awake and rested look
- Can be performed under local anesthesia
2. Lower Eyelid Surgery (Lower Blepharoplasty)
- Removes or repositions under-eye fat pads
- Tightens the lower lid skin
- Reduces puffiness and smooths the under-eye area
3. Tear Trough Filler (Under-Eye Filler)
- Treats mild under-eye hollows and darkness
- Uses hyaluronic acid-based filler
- Immediate results, lasting up to 12 months
4. Botulinum Toxin (Botox)
- Smooths crow’s feet and frown lines
- Prevents deepening of expression lines
- Lasts about 4–6 months
5. Laser and Radiofrequency Treatments

6. Brow Lift (Surgical or Thread Lift)
- Lifts drooping brows for a more youthful eye contour
- Often combined with eyelid surgery for optimal results
