Surgical or non-surgical? ๐ค๐
๏ฟฝWell actually, very often = ๐ฏ๐ผ๐๐ต
Upper eyelids: often surgical๏ฟฝLower eyelids: often non-surgical ๐
When it comes to eyelid rejuvenation, one of the biggest misconceptions is that the same treatment works equally well for both the upper and lower lids. In reality, they often need very different approaches.

๏ฟฝFor both upper and lower eyelids, treatments such as Erbium YAG laser, CO2 laser, RF microneedling, injectables and regenerative treatments can help improve skin texture, stimulate collagen, tighten the skin and soften fine lines.
But hereโs the important partโฆ ๐๐๐

๏ฟฝIf there is significant hooding, excess skin, fat or heavier muscle, laser can only do so much. In those cases, an upper blepharoplasty is often the best option to properly remove excess tissue and create a fresher, more open eye area.

๏ฟฝLasers and other energy-based treatments can be very effective here for tightening crepey skin, improving texture and reducing wrinkles. If needed, a lower blepharoplasty is also an option, but surgery is not always the starting point for this area.
So, surgical or non-surgical? ๐ค๐๏ฟฝVery often, it is actually ๐ค both ๐ค
A common combination we use is a surgical upper blepharoplasty for excess skin and hooding, paired with a non-surgical laser lower eyelid treatment for tightening and rejuvenation.
That is why treatment should always be tailored - because upper and lower eyelids do not age in the same way, and they do not always need the same solution ๐
