Eyelid Pinch Lift

You’ve heard the saying “The eyes are the window to the soul”. Our eyes are the most often noted and viewed facial feature, and unfortunately the eyelids are one of the first facial features to show signs of facial aging.

“Initial impressions do matter,” says Dr. Stein. “The triangle formed between the eyes and the lips instantly directs attention to both the eyes and lips as the most important facial features."

As skin ages, it gradually loses its elasticity and collagen production. A lack of elasticity, combined with the constant pull from gravity, causes excess skin to collect in the upper and lower eyelids.
The earliest eyelid aging changes are eye wrinkles, or “crow’s feet”, which you see on the corner of your eyelids when you smile. The next sign of aging that tends to appear in the eyelid area are the eye wrinkles that extend across the lower eyelid and up into the upper eyelid. Then, the upper eyelid skin begins to droop and eventually covers the upper eyelid fold.

Aging signs of the eyelid also occur in the lower eyelid area which begins to droop. As a result, normal fat beneath the eyelid protrudes or pushes out on the eyelid and creates eyelid bags or puffy eyes. This protruding lower eyelid tissue creates a shadow in the normal depression below the eyelid and creates the circles under the eyes, which is a sure sign of eyelid aging.

The Eyelid Pinch Lift is a simple procedure that literally pinches the loose, extra wrinkled or sagging upper or lower eyelid skin into a tiny fold, like a pleet. The excess skin is simply excised, and the edges are sewn together with tiny absorbable sutures.

This procedure is less invasive than other forms of eyelid surgery, such as Blepharoplasty, and is performed by Dr. Stein in-office using local anesthesia. Recuperation from the Eyelid Pinch Lift is rapid, post operative pain is minimal and results are dramatic.
