CHICAGO, IL, May 30, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- One of the ways people can tell if you're tired or exhausted is by the bags that develop under your eyes. For some people, however, the bags under the eyes are an inherited trait that never goes away. If this is a problem you're dealing with, it can affect your work and social life it very adverse ways.
Plastic surgeons can help you gain that healthy, alert appearance and rid your eyes of those dark, sagging bags with a procedure called blepharoplasty, or eyelift.
If you're in your twenties or thirties, it can be hard dealing with the perpetually tired look those bags under your eyes gives. Your boss may think you're exhausted, and it might even make you self-conscious about the way you look when you're socializing. The good news is that eyelifts aren't just for older individuals regaining their youthful appearance.
The bags above or below the eyes can be cause by the delicate skin in this area sagging and becoming filled with excess fat and other tissue. With an eyelift, this excess tissue and fat is removed so that the skin lies flat against the face. After an eyelift procedure, you will look healthier and more awake because the bags around your eyes won't be as prominent.
During the eyelift procedure, delicate incisions are made in the natural creases of the eyelids. Through these incisions, the excess fat and tissue is removed. For older individuals that have too much sagging skin, the excess skin can be removed. The incisions are then closed with sutures.
Since the incisions are made in the creases above and below the eyelids, any faint scars that result after the procedure are concealed by natural contours of your face. Many younger patients undergoing eyelift surgery choose to combine it with other minimally invasive procedures like injectable filler treatments, or non-surgical nose surgery.
You don't have to deal with looking tired all the time. If you would like to learn more about, eyelifts and you live in the Chicago, Illinois area, please visit the website of Dr. Otto J. Placik (at www.bodysculptor.com) today to schedule an initial consultation.
