Saggy Eyelids: Achieve Brighter, Younger Eyes with a Non-Surgical Eyelid Lift

The delicate skin around the eyes is especially vulnerable to the effects of aging and sun damage. A non-surgical eyelid lift (non-surgical blepharoplasty) can combat these effects to refresh your appearance with minimal recovery and downtime. At Cerulean Medical Institute, we are pleased to offer advanced technologies and cosmetic procedures as alternatives to cosmetic surgery. This is what you can expect from our non-surgical eyelid lift procedure.

What is a Non-Surgical Eyelid Lift?

A non-surgical eyelid lift can give the eyes a brighter and more youthful look without incisions or extensive downtime. Unlike traditional blepharoplasty, which involves the removal of excess skin and fat through incisions, non-surgical eyelid lifts use various advanced techniques to tighten loose skin, smooth wrinkles, stimulate collagen production, and restore volume. Drooping upper lids, under-eye hollows, and fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes can all be improved with these non-invasive techniques. Non-surgical eyelid lifts are customized to target specific areas of concern and are often combined with other cosmetic treatments for optimal results.

Treatment Options for a Non-Surgical Eyelid Lift

Dr. Praven Chetty is a leading cosmetic physician in Kelowna, BC who specializes in the following treatments for his innovative non-surgical eyelid lift:

Botox

Botox is known as a neuromodulator because it uses botulinum toxin type A to temporarily relax depressor brow muscles. This decreases excessive muscle contractions which is highly effective for dynamic wrinkles like frown lines and crow’s feet at the corners of the eyes. By relaxing the brow muscles, Botox creates a subtle brow lift which improves the appearance of heavy brows or droopy eyes by lifting the saggy eyelid skin.

Dermal Fillers

Hyaluronic acid fillers and collagen boosters are a great option for the delicate skin around the eyes. Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally found in the body; it attracts water molecules to hydrate and gently plump the skin, helping it maintain structure and elasticity. Dermal fillers in Kelowna are commonly used in the peri-ocular areas of the temples, cheeks and under the eyes to replenish volume deficient areas and under-eye hollows which create the look of dark circles and a tired appearance. Peri-ocular volume restoration results in a more youthful refreshed appearance. The additional hydrating effect of hyaluronic acid also restores the skin’s radiant complexion.

Skin Tightening

Eyelid skin tightening in Kelowna is one of the most effective eyelid lift treatments. Skin tightening procedures stimulate collagen and elastin thereby tightening and lifting the lax eyelids. This results in more scleral show and a youthful eye appearance. The added benefits of eyelid skin tightening include softer, smoother skin around the eyes.

Laser Facial

Our Kelowna skin centre’s laser facial is a gentle laser treatment that can lift sagging skin around the eyes and smooth wrinkles under and around the eye area. Laser energy penetrates the deep layers of the skin to trigger the body’s natural wound-healing process and stimulate collagen production. Collagen is a protein in the skin that gives structure and volume. As the skin ages, collagen fibers break down which contributes to loose skin and wrinkling. As new collagen is formed, the skin becomes tighter and firmer to lift and smooth the peri-ocular and under-eye area.

Microneedling

Microneedling is sometimes referred to as collagen induction therapy because it stimulates collagen production. Medical microneedling creates micro-wounds and encourages new collagen growth. As healthy skin resurfaces and new collagen develops, eyelid skin is tightened and gently lifted to improve the look of under-eye hollows, wrinkles, and sagging eyelid skin.

Benefits of a Non-Surgical Eyelid Lift

The non-surgical eyelid lift offers many added benefits, including:

Minimal Downtime

After a non-surgical eyelid lift, patients can return to all of their normal activities immediately or within a few days, depending on the procedures being performed. Patients should take care to protect their healing skin with broad-spectrum sunscreen and gentle moisturizers. With adequate sun protection and use of medical-grade eyelid skincare products, you can maintain your results for longer.

Less Risk of Complications

Another common reason for patients to consider a non-surgical treatment is its minimal risk of complications compared to surgical eyelid lifts. A surgical eyelid lift requires anesthesia and incisions, which increases the risk for infections, bruising and scars. Minimally invasive treatments are accessible to more patients who might have underlying health conditions that prevent them from receiving surgery.

Natural-Looking Results

Dr. Chetty prioritizes natural-looking cosmetic results that are customized for each patient’s needs. Non-surgical eyelift lifts create subtle improvements that enhance your natural features, rather than creating a drastic change. Eyelid collagen-stimulating treatments replenish collagen creating smoother lifted eyelids.

Who is a Good Candidate for a Non-Surgical Eyelid Lift?

The best candidates for a non-surgical eyelid lift are healthy adults who want to rejuvenate their youthful appearance without the need for eyelid surgery. At your initial consultation, Dr. Chetty will assess your skin and discuss your cosmetic goals to determine which procedures are right for you. We will work with you to develop a treatment plan that is safe and effective.
