Non-Surgical Eyelid Lift

A non-surgical eyelid lift is a cosmetic procedure that restores the youthful look of your face without surgery in Edmonton. If your eyelids are feeling droopy or baggy, a non-surgical blepharoplasty can help add volume to wrinkled skin and smoothen puffy eyelids.

In the past, the only way to perform an eyelid lift was through surgery, an expensive and painful procedure with a lengthy recovery period. With non-surgical eyelid lift, plastic surgeons use dermal fillers and threads to bring out the youthful beauty in your face.

If you have sagging eyelids, or the skin around your eyes look puffy or droopy, a non-surgical eyelid lift may help bring back your beautiful face. In older people, droopy eyelids can obstruct sight and the condition can make younger people look more advanced than their actual age.

Men and women can use this procedure as it is safe, fast, and has little downsides. Read on to know the benefits of a nonsurgical eyelid lift and who is the best candidate for the procedure.

Why Nonsurgical Eyelid Lift?

As we age, our body loses its plump and taut texture and many places lose volume. Volume loss in the skin around the eye creates dark circles and puffy eyes. The surface of the skin also becomes drier, resulting in crow’s feet, fine lines, wrinkles and many other signs of aging.

When this occurs over time, you look older than your age and wear a tired face around all day. Not only does this make you less attractive, it can also affect your sight and even lower your self-confidence.

 

A non-surgical eyelid lift allows you to add volume in places with fat loss and tighten saggy skins without painful surgeries. Non-invasive cosmetic procedures such as dermal fillers, PDO thread, and other nonsurgical techniques are used for eyelid lifts. These procedures involve minimal pain and offer instant results although the outcomes may not be permanent.

Who Are Candidates for Non-surgical Eyelid Lift?

Non-surgical blepharoplasty is ideal for people with volume loss or sagging skin in the upper and lower eyelids. You can also do the procedure if you have droopy eyes and puffiness in the lower eyelid. It is beneficial if the skin is obstructing your vision or reducing the visual appeal of your face.

During your consultation, we will go over the best procedure that will provide your desired outcomes. Note that a non-surgical eyelid lift is not applicable to every case. If the eye puffiness or droopiness of the skin is prominent, a surgical blepharoplasty might be the better option for you.

How Is Non-Surgical Eyelid Lift Performed?

A non-surgical eyelid lift procedure takes about 30 minutes. Using Botox and hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, the practitioner fills the places that have lost fat, shaping the skin to achieve a smoother and suppler texture. The Botox injection will relax some depressing muscle in the peri-orbital area which results in eyelid lift. In places where the skin is sagging or drooping, PDO threads can tighten the excess skin, leading to instant improvements in the appearance of the eyelids.

Before the procedure, the practitioner applies a local anesthetic cream to the face to reduce discomfort and pain during the operation. Most dermal fillers also have anesthetic agents to numb the needle’s point of entry to reduce pain.

Unlike surgical blepharoplasty, non-surgical eyelid lift is faster, more affordable and the results are instant. The procedure does not involve making cuts into your skin, and even techniques that use threads are superficial. There are no cuts, no excessive bleeding and the risk of complications is low.

How Long Does it Last?

Unlike surgical blepharoplasty which is a permanent operation, non-surgical eyelid lift can last up to two years or more. The longevity of the results depends on the technique and the patient’s body.

The body absorbs dermal fillers and PDO threads. If your body absorbs the medium quickly, your face will show the signs of aging soon. However, you can optimize your outcomes with maintenance procedures.

When Will I See Results?

The result of a non-surgical eyelid lift is instant. You will notice improvements immediately after the operation. However, the best results become visible after 3-6 weeks of the eyelid lift.
