Why Choose Eyelid Surgery?

What Causes Puffy Eyes?

Orbital Fat

Puffiness under the eyes, which remain visible despite sufficient sleep and/or appropriate allergy treatment, is due to orbital fat. Fat prolapses in the space that the eye sits, also known as the orbit. This prolapsed fat may be removed, sculpted and reduced through one of two methods. To improve the appearance of the bags beneath the eyes, the two most common approaches are transcutaneous (external) and transconjunctival (internal). Usually, bags have been approached by a majority of practitioners through the former external incision. In the external approach, an incision is made directly below the eyelashes to access the fat by lifting up the skin and going through the orbicularis oculi muscle to get to the fat pads. Depending on a person's age and ethnicity, Dr. Prasad prefers the latter internal approach, also known as transconjunctival blepharoplasty, which removes under eye bags, leaves no outside scars, and preserves the natural shape of the eye.

Loose Skin

Loose skin is a primary concern for many people once the bags under the eyes are removed. Depending on the support of the lower eyelids, loose skin can be removed simultaneously. This can be done when:

the fat pockets are removed with transconjunctival lower eyelid plastic surgery. the approach to the lower eyelids is from the outside completely.

Lower Eyelid Support

Many people are referred to Dr. Prasad as a Super-Specialist Oculofacial Cosmetic Surgeon due to their unrecognized problems with lower eyelid support. Properly supporting the lower eyelids requires several different specialized techniques. In addition, the support structures of the eyelid can be shaped in a way that can create a more natural and brighter appearance to the eyes.

Why Choose Eyelid Rejuvenation?

The specific reasons for eyelid rejuvenation are varied but it can be said that every man and woman that opts for eyelid rejuvenation chooses to look and feel better about their appearance. After years of doing and caring for others, you come to realize that it's time to do something that is just for your own benefit.

Eye Puffiness

Sometimes genetics are responsible for an appearance that you would like to correct with eyelid rejuvenation, an example of which is eye puffiness.

Take a look at some of these commonly heard comments and consider whether you have ever felt this way:

I am young but because I have bags under my eyes, my co-workers think I'm not getting enough sleep. They think I'm always tired.
I have always had puffy upper eyelids, even when I was a child. When I wear eye shadow, it gets smudged and doesn't stay on.
I'm Asian and I want my eyes to look “ more open.”
I do presentations at work where my audience and colleagues are in their 20s and 30s. My eye puffiness makes me feel self conscious.
I suspect that I have lost a few clients because they worry that I am too old to take on their projects.
Puffy eyes run in my family and my eyes have been puffy since I was young. I am tired of always looking tired.
I just had laser vision correction but it didn't fix my eye puffiness. Now I see better but I just realized how my glasses used to hide the bags under my eyes.
