A man's eyelids typically show the first sign of facial ageing. Lower eyelid bulges appear secondary to a relaxation of the ligaments and muscles suspending the fat below the eye. The cheeks begin to descend downward leaving a trough, hollowness and darkness between the eyelids nose and cheeks. Lines and wrinkles form secondary to sun damage and ageing.
These areas are addressed using a comprehensive approach including a lower eyelid skin and muscle lift, removal and repositioning of the bulging fat and excess eyelid skin, resurfacing of the skin with aggressive skin care, laser or dermabrasion and botox.
These procedures are typically performed under a light sedation, topical and local anesthesia. Recovery is quick due to minimal pain. You can return to work within a few days wearing reflective glasses and cover to camouflage the swelling and bruising which begins to subside after three days.
