About Facial Aging

Your eyes, the areas around your forehead, and your cheeks are the most important aspects of your appearance and often are the first areas to show signs of facial aging. Further, these areas can communicate your mood, demeanor and energy level to others. As we age, the eyebrows unfortunately sag and form wrinkles. This is often accompanied by the skin and soft tissue around your upper and lower eyelids stretching and further creating drooping or sagging of the eyelids. For some people this is made even more undesirable by orbital fat protruding through the lower eyelid resulting in “puffy bags” or dark circles on the lower eyelids. Others find that tissue volume around the eyes decreases to give the appearance of “hollowness”. These facial aging changes can occur as early as your twenties to early thirties and can become quite obvious in your forties, fifties and sixties.

If your eyes, cheeks and forehead project the signs of aging due to overhanging skin, puffiness, dark circles, crow’s feet, or excessive lines and wrinkles, you may appear tired, older, less energetic and even sad or angry. This is never desirable, but there are solutions. You can address the extra wrinkles, puffiness and folds and easily appear more rested, youthful and bright. Men and women of all ages should be aware of the surgical and non-surgical options available to them that are proven to soften the aging process.
