Have you ever learned of a person’s true age and were shocked to discover it was older or younger than you originally thought, based on that person’s appearance? Your lifestyle habits and skin care routine often play a major role in your physical appearance, and on how you age throughout the years. For instance, people who smoke often look years older than they really are, while those who exercise regularly and practice good nutrition tend to look years younger.

Fortunately, there are several cosmetic treatments available today that can help you restore youth and vitality to your overall appearance. Schedule a consultation with GLOW Surgical Arts to learn more about the following cosmetic treatments that can help you maintain your youth for years to come.

Your eyes are undoubtedly the focal point of your face (unless you happen to have a remarkably beautiful nose, of course). They’re often the first thing people notice about you. Unfortunately, they’re also one of the first places to show signs of aging or to fall victim to the effects of gravity, largely due to the thin, delicate skin in the eye area.

People of nearly any age can have problems with sagging, bags, droopy eyelids, and loose skin around the eyes. The problem is sometimes caused by genetics, but may also simply be the result of normal aging. Eye lift surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is an extremely effective and safe way to rejuvenate the area around your eyes and make you look years younger.

Your eyes are an integral part of your face and your personality. But when the skin around the eyes is affected by sagging, puffiness, or drooping, it’s difficult to see your eyes’ true beauty.

The delicate skin around the eyes is more prone to aging. Sagging of the upper and lower eyelids as well as under eye bags can become an issue as early as your 20s and 30s. An eye lift can address these issues during an outpatient procedure that has a short downtime and virtually invisible scars.

If you’re considering cosmetic surgery or an in-office procedure, you’ve probably thought a lot about the look you wish to achieve and how it will fit into your life. One important aspect of any cosmetic surgery decision is the cost of the procedure and your budget.

Our eyes are one of the key ways we communicate, and they are one of the first features other people notice about you. But if they’re showing signs of aging, or you’re self-conscious about sagging or excess skin and fat around the eyes, it can make you feel hesitant to approach people or self-conscious about your appearance.

Eye lifts, also known as eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty, repair baggy skin around the eyes, decrease bags under the eyes, and reduce puffiness, all in a single procedure. Before you decide to commit to an eye lift, there are a few things you should know about the surgery.

Getting older doesn’’t just mean being sore longer after a vigorous hike or a healthy bike ride. Yes, you’ll probably feel more creaky and achy in the mornings in general. Not just after some physical exertion the night before. You simply feel the effects of life more the longer you live it. It’s part of the deal. Unfortunately, the effects of aging don’t stop there. As we age, our bodies physically change as well.

40 might be the new 20, but that doesn’t change the fact that as we age, our bodies change.  That goes for our faces too, specifically the area around our eyes and eyelids. Maybe you have already noticed it. Bags under your eyes that make up can no longer hide. Droopy eyelids that  having your friends ask if you are getting enough sleep. If our eyes are the mirror to our soul then there may be no area that reflects our age more then the facial skin around them.  Although it may be inevitable it is also correctable with a relatively simple cosmetic surgery procedure known as blepharoplasty, or more simply, eyelid lift surgery.

We frequently get asked about lines and wrinkles around the eyes and on the upper and lower eyelids.  These areas are so visible, and really encompass the focal point when we look at one another.  As with any other area, time and the environment gradually chip away at the firmness of youth.  The result?  An aged appearance, lines, wrinkles, perhaps some puffiness, and excess skin.

Botox Cosmetic and Xeomin may be the answer - a great choice for smoothing lines and wrinkles between the brows (frown lines), on the forehead, and crow's feet (smile lines next to the eyes).  Botox works by calming the tiny muscles in the face that pull on the skin.  Less pull, smoother skin.
