Bags and circles under the eyes blepharoplasty procedure
Bags and circles under the eyes
Bags and circles under the eyes, although often thought of as a sign of lack of sleep, are one of the earliest marks of impending middle age in Charlotte NC. As such, even people who aren’t all that old may wish to be rid of them. Removing the bags and circles under the eyes is a small and subtle change that if done right, doesn’t look like surgery but does make your face look a little bit younger.
These bags and circles under the eyes are caused by the migration of fatty tissues under the eyelids. Two procedures that can clear up bags and circles under the eyes are the open lower lid blepharoplasty and the SOOF lift blepharoplasty. An open lower lid blepharoplasty means removing the fat under the eyelid entirely, and possibly replacing it with fat taken from elsewhere in the body. This doesn’t always work. The SOOF lift blepharoplasty deals with the problem directly, by taking the deposit of fat (the suborbicularis oculi fat, or SOOF), lifting it back into position and tightening the fascial layer that holds it in place. This is done by making the initial incision on the inside of the eyelid.
To find a surgeon who can perform blepharoplasty, look for someone in your area who has years of experience and many testimonials from patients on sites such as realself.com. Also look for a gallery of before and after photos.
