Excess skin and sagging around the eyes. These are the two main complaints of patients who come to us for lower eyelid procedures.

The good news is that this region can improve considerably, as long as the procedures are performed by specialists, in the right way.

To remove excess skin, we recommend lower eyelid blepharoplasty. In other words: in most cases, surgical intervention is indispensable. And it is precisely at this point that your choice of specialist will make all the difference. After all, it takes knowledge and experience to know how much skin should be removed. There is an exact point to be found, and there is no recipe: every patient is unique. Our main goal is to achieve the results our patients want, while always preserving the originality and natural characteristics of their faces.

We have often been sought out to correct changes in the eye area of people who had undergone procedures before and were not satisfied with the results. So, I reiterate: for this type of surgery, it is advisable to choose a surgeon who specializes in aesthetic and reconstructive eyelid surgery. It is an extremely delicate region, with particularities that only professionals who have specialized in this area can identify and treat correctly.

And is sagging also corrected by removing skin? The answer is “No”!

After the excess is removed, the remaining skin in this region is thin and lax, and this is not corrected by surgery. So we recommend a combination of specific treatments: fractional CO2 laser paired with Morpheus8 is the most up-to-date treatment!

And here, once again, great care is needed. Let me explain why.

As we have already mentioned, the skin of the eye area is extremely delicate, and the best treatments for this region are precise and meticulous. In other words: have the procedure done by a specialist.

In most cases, we use fractional CO2 laser at a power ranging from moderate to high, which makes truly effective treatment of sagging possible. In addition, the Morpheus8 microneedling radiofrequency handpiece complements the procedure with skin vulcanization.
