Why do My Eyes always Look So Tired? Should I See an Eye Surgeon or a Plastic Surgeon?
In my experience, tired looking eyes can often be caused by hooded and sagging upper eyelids
as well as puffy under eye bags and loose lower eyelid support.
Plastic surgery of the eyes is unique in that this type of surgery can have a significant
effect on the function and health of the eyes.
It is critically important that when you consider plastic surgery for the eyes, that you feel
confident that the surgeon you choose has a deep understanding of eye health and has
a high level of expertise in eyelid surgery.
As a practicing Cosmetic Oculofacial Plastic Surgeon for over 20 years, I have helped many
people who underwent plastic surgery for their eyes and unfortunately needed revision surgery
to protect the health of their eyes and restore their appearance.
It’s important to understand that terms such as Board Certified Plastic Surgeon does
not in any way indicate any specialized training or expertise in this area.
Cosmetic Surgery is a separate specialty from Plastic Surgery and I would emphasize that
looking for expertise with eyes, artistic ability and extensive experience as characteristics
which will help you differentiate between doctors who perform eyelid surgery.
It’s important you understand this to avoid unnecessary risk and improve your chances
of getting the results you desire.
