Identification
-
An eye lift can be a wrinkle solution Cosmetic surgery, such as a face lift, removes excess fat and tightens the skin and muscle. If it is only the eye area that needs perfecting, eyelid surgery called blepharoplasty may be all that is necessary.
Benefits
-
Removal of fat and skin improves sagging Blepharoplasty involves the removal of excess skin, fat or muscle from the upper or lower lid. It can eliminate bags under the eyes or improve a sagging upper lid. By tightening the skin, wrinkles are decreased.

Considerations
-
Laser or peels fine tune wrinkle removal Cosmetic surgery does not completely eliminate wrinkles, but it does tighten the skin making their appearance less noticeable. An alternative treatment is laser resurfacing. Lasers can eliminate wrinkles but do little to tighten or lift the skin.
Time Frame
-
Cosmetic surgery does not stop aging Cosmetic Surgery will require about two weeks of recuperation. The laser alternative can be done in as little as flour treatments spaced every other week with as little as a weekend in downtime.
Misconceptions
-
Neither cosmetic surgery or laser resurfacing offer results that last forever. Either process will need to be repeated. The success of either procedure depends on the physician you use and your own personal aging rate.
