The eye area tends to show signs of aging before other parts of the face because eyelid skin is thinner and more delicate than other facial tissues. Sun exposure, smoking and other lifestyle habits can accelerate this process. Many men and women struggle with eyelid puffiness, dark circles and bags under their eyes, and loose, sagging eyelid skin can make you appear older and may impair your vision. Eyelid surgery is often a good route for patients with these concerns, but some non-surgical treatments may improve signs of aging around the eyes.
At the Stevens Facial Plastic & Laser Center, our board-certified facial plastic surgeon can determine the best way to restore a youthful appearance and address changes in the eyelids and eye area. Dr. Douglas Stevens has extensive experience improving face and neck concerns and will develop a surgical or non-surgical approach to meet your goals.
Understanding the recovery period can help you plan time off work and daily activities while the eyelids heal. If you are considering eyelid procedures, you can explore the eyelid surgery healing timeline to set realistic expectations and prepare for postoperative care.
