Take 'Em By Surprise with Your Roguish Eyes - Friday, April 11, 2008

Although many people consider body contouring operations in preparation for the summer swimsuit season, don't forget that other cosmetic surgeries are just as important. If you're strolling through the park one day in the merry merry month of May, you don't want your tired-looking eyes to give away your age. If you really want to look your youngest, you need to pay attention to your eyes. If you want eyes that convey energy, youth, and a fun-loving spirit, here are a number of procedures to consider.

Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) is the best treatment for puffy lower lids, wrinkled eyelids, or sagging upper eyelids. In this surgery, which has a short recovery period, excess skin and fat are removed from your eyelids, making your eyes more open and youthful in appearance.

If you are troubled by the extent of the crows' feet around your eyes or the worry lines between your brows, Botox injections can help. The injections relax the tensed muscles that cause these lines.

If the main detriment to your eyes is the dark circles under them, then soft tissue fillers like Restylane might be the best solution.

To counteract the numerous fine wrinkles and crepey skin around the eyes, laser skin resurfacing might be the most effective treatment, but it can also make your skin very sensitive to sunlight for a long time. Consider lighter treatments, like an Obagi Blue Peel, which provide good results but do not make your skin sensitive for as long.
