When considering facial rejuvenation the eyes musle always be assessed. A youthful fullness to the eye area is one of the primary concerns of facial enhancement.
The eyes, as they say are the windows to the soul. They are also the areas the show the early signs of aging. When ever you consider any form of facial rejuvenation you must make yourself a student of aging. You must understand what features make a person look old and how have these developed. Most importantly the method to restore the face must place the soft tissue back into a more youthful position. An eyelid lift otherwise known as blepharoplasty, focuses on the eyes and the peri-orbital zone. There are many factors that contribute to aging in this area. This includes both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Age, sun exposure and hereditary factors all contribute to wrinkles, deep lines and puffiness around the eyes.

I know, you have heard it before – drink plenty of water. You may
think, how boring. This is sound advice, yet how many of us consciously
pay attention to the amount of water we drink each day? Do you know if
you are getting enough?
When we think of dehydration, we visualize someone collapsing due to
sun exposure or from heat exhaustion after vigorous physical activity.
But in actuality, dehydration is an insidious condition that can creep
up on a person unaware. You may be dehydrated and not even realize it.
Thirst or a dry mouth does not show up until the body is actually
dehydrated. When we are dehydrated the thirst sensation diminishes and
we may be seriously in need of fluid and not even be thirsty.

It’s not what most of us want to hear: “You look tired!” Maybe it’s just sympathy ? but if you hear it a lot, even when you’re NOT tired, you may be at your wit’s end trying to figure out what to do about it.
In my cosmetic dermatology practice, I hear this complaint most often from clients who have lines around their eyes, grooves between their eyes above the bridge of the nose, or drooping upper eyelids. “Squint lines” and “frown lines” can also make people look angry when they really aren’t!
