The Gaze

As we journey through life, everything changes and our gaze changes too. The eyebrows become heavy, the brow tails droop, the upper eyelid shows excess skin with medial fat hernias, and on the lower eyelids, bags and dark circles appear.

Our gaze becomes heavier. Wrinkles appear on the lower eyelids - these are crow's feet. Over time, our gaze appears increasingly altered. This is where we see ageing in our gaze, our fatigue and the trials of life we have endured.

To enhance our gaze, appear younger and more rested, the first step is makeup.

Unfortunately, most often, after a certain time, this proves insufficient, but aesthetic medicine and surgery can be of great help in this area.

At the first signs of ageing and fatigue in our eyes, Botox for early fine lines and volumetric filling with hyaluronic acid in the tear trough can be of great benefit.

The eye is a very important and unique organ; any procedure concerning its framework (upper and lower eyelids) must be perfectly precise, safe and must have no functional impact on vision. The most important issue in surgical treatment of the eyelids is their extreme fineness, which allows no margin for error.

The surgical procedure to improve the appearance of the eyelids is blepharoplasty.

Eyelid surgery is not simple surgery as it is exposed to unequal cicatricial tensions that are immediately visible if there is even a minimal difference between the two eyes.

However, it is a very frequently performed procedure, with spectacular results that allow you to maintain a less heavy and tired gaze while preserving its natural expression.

This surgery is suitable for both women and men.

It is a procedure concerning lower and upper eyelid surgery that removes certain imperfections that appear with age or are related to our genetic potential. In summary, blepharoplasty erases imperfections linked to our heredity or age. Blepharoplasty can involve operating on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or all four eyelids simultaneously.

For the upper eyelid, upper blepharoplasty is relatively well-codified, while for the lower eyelid, several techniques exist that must be chosen based on the specific imperfection with great subtlety.

Another problem concerning the periorbital regions is under-eye bags: their appearance can be changed or their volume reduced during classic lower blepharoplasty, transconjunctival blepharoplasty, or using the arcus marginalis technique.

Upper blepharoplasty is very often combined with other facial rejuvenation methods, particularly the cervico-facial facelift.

Dr Weiss will help and guide you to achieve a harmonious, natural result adapted to your needs.

• For heavy eyebrows:
  • Botox (botulinum toxin) injection to lift them.
  • Surgically: supra-brow excisions and temporal lift.
• For excess skin and fat pockets on the upper eyelid:
  • Transconjunctival blepharoplasty
  • Classic blepharoplasty
  • Arcus marginalis blepharoplasty
  • These procedures are often accompanied by canthopexy (retention of the lower eyelid muscle)
• For periocular crow's feet wrinkles:
  • Smoothing and relaxation by injecting botulinum toxin (Botox).
• For tear troughs, lack of volume in the upper cheeks:
  • Filling with your own natural fat (lipofilling) or hyaluronic acid injection.
• For dark circles which are in fact a colouration due to ethnic origin or thinness of the lower eyelid:
  • The best method to cover the colouration remains makeup.
