As we age, the upper and lower eyes develop loose skin and puffiness. The quality of the skin also changes and often becomes wrinkled, especially in thin-skinned people who have had extensive sun exposure. This can lead to crow's feet developing on the sides of the eyes as well.
Furthermore, puffiness under the eyes is hereditary and may occur at an early age from the weakening of the layer of tissue that holds the fat in the eye (orbital septum). As such, the fat may protrude through this weak layer and appear as puffiness under the eyes. An eyelid lift in NYC can help address these signs of aging and restore the skin’s firm appearance.
