Rejuvenating the Periocular Region
Dermatochalasis is excess skin along or around the upper and/or lower eyelid areas. It is often described as a “tired look” or “bags”. Eyelid skin tends to be thin and delicate, and over time, it gradually loses elasticity. Gravity, loss of elastic tissue in the skin, and weakening of the eyelid connective tissues contribute to dermatochalasis, which more frequently involves the upper lids, but is also common in the lower lids. It is common in elderly persons — what was once smooth and taut skin now looks wrinkly and saggy. Although dermatochalasis is occasionally seen in young adults.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a cosmetic injection that might give your eyes a youthful look. It is a substance rich in growth factors and proteins from your blood. PRP can also be applied topically to enhance the outcome of microneedling.
Dermatochalasis Treatments
Blepharoplasty. One of the effective ways to correct dermatochalasis is a surgical procedure called blepharoplasty. It can significantly rejuvenate the appearance of the eyes, improving both aesthetic and functional aspects. Aesthetic plastic surgeon removes redundant skin and sometimes fat and muscle tissue around and along upper and lower eyelid areas. It involves either one or both of the following procedures: upper blepharoplasty (or “eye lift”), and lower blepharoplasty (or “eye bag removal”). Generally, recovery takes a few weeks, when swelling and bruising gradually subside.
