The lower eyelids are important in giving you a fresh, natural appearance. Often times, though, protruding fat pads and droopy skin in your lower eyelids can make you look much older and more tired. The fatty tissue of the lower eyelid can even be repositioned to eliminate or improve the so-called tear trough deformity.
LOwer eyelid lift
Dr. Standefer performs a lower eyelid lift in Dallas for patients who are concerned about this area. Removal of the fat pads of the lower eyelid and tightening the orbital septum (the tissue that keeps your eyelids smooth) will give you a nice smooth appearance. We tighten the skin either by cutting a wedge (resecting) in the excess skin, or tightening the collagen with laser resurfacing or facial peeling.
Puffy lower eyelids make us appear more tired and older than we are. Removing the fat into the cheek gives us a youthful contour.
