Is there a way to lift eyelids without surgery?
There are several non-surgical options that may be preferable in situations of lesser cosmetic issues with the eyelids when surgery is not necessary, if the patient opts against having surgical intervention, or when a second operation may be problematic despite the first one having been successful. The doctor assesses the patient's condition before beginning treatment with mesotherapy, botulinum toxin, filling, and device treatments.
Clinical uses for botulinum toxin
Botulinum toxin can be used to gently lift the eyelid, shape and elevate the eyebrows, and smooth out wrinkles. It is not, however, as successful as surgery. Applications need to be submitted again every so often.
Injectable Fillers
Even though it only has a short-term impact, filling injections on and around the eyelid might also be preferred for an attractive look. Filling can be used to raise the brow, fill pits in the lower eyelid area, and fill collapsed areas in the upper eyelid. Fillings manufactured using the right method and the right filling material are highly successful in reducing dark circles and the look of weary eyes when there is no bagging on the lower eyelid that does not require surgery.
In cases of congenital deep-looking top lids, collapses, or injuries brought on by superfluous fat tissues being removed during upper lid surgery, it may be feasible to achieve an appealing appearance by filling applications around the eyes.
Mesotherapy treatment
Effective cosmetic outcomes are obtained when mesotherapy is used to treat dark colour changes, stains, and linear forms around the eyes. Surgery is frequently used in conjunction with mesotherapy for drooping eyelids and aesthetics.
Laser eyelid resurfacing
Laser treatments can tighten the skin and improve its texture. When laser is applied to the eyelid area, it can reduce eyelid wrinkles and tighten loose skin, resulting in a more youthful and beautiful appearance.
Chemical Peeling
Chemical peeling is a treatment method applied to reveal newer and younger skin underneath by removing the outer layer of aging skin. Peels are used very effectively in reducing fine lines and improving the overall skin tone around the eyes.
Treatments done with specialized equipment
Device applications are also employed in eyelid surgery to give the eyelid and its surroundings a beautiful look. Contrary to what is promised, plasma applications, which are frequently marketed as device applications and falsely introduced as laser applications, do not offer a successful eyelid cosmetic or lid lift function for every patient and under every circumstance. One to two years later, some patients, who are regarded as successful, still show signs of skin tightening and wrinkle reduction. Real drooping eyelids and eyelid bags cannot be treated with this product (ptosis). Bipolar radiofrequency devices are yet another emerging technology that creates aesthetically pleasing images. These tools assist patients who do not have significant bagging and do not require definitive surgery to tighten the skin, subcutaneous tissues, or partly adipose tissue.
These techniques produce good outcomes when used appropriately with the right patient. Due to the fact that the operation is carried out under local anaesthesia, the swelling that results from it is quite brief, there are no sutures required, and there is no bruising, it offers benefits over surgery. However, given that surgery is successful for the majority of ailments and leaves a permanent mark on the body, its significance is clear.
