Undereye hollowing is a very common aesthetic orbital concern. There are multiple reasons why undereye hollowing exists from lack of adequate fat/soft tissue thickness to an infraorbital rim bony deficiency. And in some patients it is a combination of both. There are even situations where cheek implants have been placed and now the infraorbital area Read More…
The lower eyelid is composed of three tissue layers known as the lamella. There is an outer layer (skin), middle layer (muscle and fascia) and inner lamellar layer. (mucosa) Changes occur from youth to older age in all eyelid layers of which the most noticeable is the skin. In youth the lower eyelid skin is Read More…
While both upper and lower eyelids experience adverse aging effects, they display different anatomic changes in doing so. While the upper eyelid develops skin redundancies, the lower eyelid is more prone to exhibit the formation of bags. (fat herniation) This is particularly true in the younger patient where any excessive skin on the lower eyelid Read More…
Lower eyelid bags are a well recognized facial feature that is typically associated with looking tired and/or being older.

Excessive skin, fat bulges and wrinkles affect the eyelids and the skin around them. How much excessive skin that develops on the eyelids is a function of a variety of anatomic and genetic factors. But one Read More…
The concept of a canthopexy is a surgical tightening of the outer corner of the eye. This can change both the shape of the eye as well as the tension across the lower eyelid. Int a true canthopexy the lateral canthal tendon attachment to the bone is maintained and the tendon is folded over onto Read More…
The eyes are one of the first facial areas that are affected by aging. Excess skin, fullness from fat herniation and skin wrinkles are the typical manifestations of the periocular aging process. Because of the movement differences the upper and lower eyelids present somewhat different aging issues. The upper eyelid, because of its greater movement, Read More…
The tear trough deformity is very common and is most commonly treated by non-surgical methods (injectable fillers) with variable success. It is more effectively treated by surgery based on release of this osteocutaneous ligament though the two methods of lower blepharoplasty. Some form of interpositional spacer is needed to prevent reattachment/reformation of the tear trough Read More…
