Improving
the Appearance of Aging Eyelids
Because
the eyes are the focal point of the face, they project an
image of youth or age, vigor or fatigue which other people
readily notice. In both women and men, wrinkling or drooping
skin of the upper eyelids and bags and folds in the lower
eyelids are often the first sign of aging. Sagging of the
eyebrows and wrinkling of the forehead skin can also make
you look tired or unhappy. Accordingly, eyelid plasty (
blepharoplasty ) and brow lift ( forehead lift ) are very
common procedures in Dr. Davidsons practice.
All
pictures are unretouched photographs of patients operated
on by Dr. Davidson. Individual results will vary. See About

In
the upper lid, removal of excess skin and fat gives the
eye a younger, more rested appearance. This is performed
through a fine incision in the natural upper lid fold. In
the lower lid, excess skin and fat is removed through an
incision just beneath the eye lashes. These incisions usually
fade very quickly.

sagging eyebrows and softening forehead wrinkles can be
done by means of a brow or forehead lift. Several types
