As one ages, the effects of the sun and aging appear around the eyes and the rest of the face. Collagen beneath the skin diminishes and deeper wrinkles appear.
Laser resurfacing softens or removes the superficial and moderately deep lines and wrinkles.
The laser also promotes new collagen formation and a tighter, more youthful skin. Upper blepharoplasty reduces excess skin and fat in the upper eyelids. This excess skin can hang over the eyelid and interfere with vision. It can also make you look tired and older. Incisions are hidden in the natural contours and lines in the upper eyelids.
