WITHOUT A SINGLE WORD, our eyes can convey happiness or sadness. When eyelids age, however, they can make us look tired or even unhappy. Laser blepharoplasty (eyelift) can restore a youthful appearance to the eyes.

(RECOVERY TIME: SEVEN DAYS)

This procedure uses the ultra pulse carbon dioxide laser to remove excess fat cells and loose skin. The laser's precision and safety now make it a preferred method for many patients; because the laser actually seals off blood vessels, the procedure is nearly bloodless.

By combining blepharoplasty with Botox®, you can expect a substantial improvement in lines or crow's feet. Tightening the lower eyelid at the same time as blepharoplasty can produce even better results.

Laser blepharoplasty normally takes anywhere from about one to one and one-half hours, and you may return to work within a week, looking well-rested and refreshed.
