The skin around your eyes is often the first to show signs of aging. Fine lines, crow’s feet, and puffiness can soften your gaze, while drooping lids add a tired look. At That Face Facial Plastic Surgery in Chicago, Dr. Omotara Sulyman-Scott restores youthful vitality through precise eyelid surgery techniques that enhance the eyes while preserving facial harmony. While eyelid surgery doesn’t entirely erase crow’s feet, it can soften them by tightening the surrounding skin. Read on to learn how blepharoplasty can refresh and brighten your appearance.
What Eyelid Surgery Can Do
Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, removes excess skin and fat from the upper or lower eyelids. By lifting drooping lids and smoothing under-eye bags, the procedure creates a more open, rested, and youthful look.
Eyelid surgery can:
- Remove excess skin and fat from the upper or lower lids
- Lift drooping eyelids for a more alert appearance
- Smooth puffiness and under-eye bags for a rejuvenated look
- Brighten and open the eyes
- Enhance overall facial harmony
Even a subtle lift can make your face look brighter, friendlier, and more awake. Dr. Sulyman-Scott refines sagging skin and sculpts the eye contours in a way that looks seamless and beautifully understated.
What Eyelid Surgery Can’t Do
Crow’s feet, the fine wrinkles that fan out from the corners of the eyes, aren’t directly removed during eyelid surgery. The tightening effect around the eyelids may soften these lines, but it won’t eliminate them entirely or stop new ones from forming.
Eyelid surgery cannot:
- Completely erase crow’s feet
- Prevent future wrinkles from developing
- Change the natural shape or expression of the eyes
Why Expertise Matters
Dr. Sulyman-Scott’s dual background as a facial plastic surgeon and ENT specialist gives her an exceptional understanding of facial anatomy. Her board certification in Otolaryngology and board eligibility in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery ensure that every blepharoplasty is performed with safety, symmetry, and an appreciation for each patient’s unique features. Her philosophy centers on honoring what makes your face distinct while refining it with subtle, natural enhancement.
Combining Treatments for the Best Results
For the most comprehensive rejuvenation, Dr. Sulyman-Scott may recommend combining eyelid surgery with other treatments:
- BOTOX®: Smooths crow’s feet by relaxing targeted muscles.
- Laser resurfacing: Refines texture and boosts collagen production.
- Chemical peels: Improve tone and diminish fine lines.
- Dermal fillers: Restores volume beneath the eyes for softer contours.
Whether you choose a single procedure or a combined plan, her goal is the same—results that look natural and feel authentically you.
