Eyelid Rejuvenation: Which Approach — Eyelid Lift or Non-Surgical Treatments — Is Right for You?

Curious about ways to refresh your eyes but not sure where to start? If you’ve noticed drooping eyelids, under-eye hollows, or fine lines creeping in around your eyes, you’re not alone. These are common areas that show early signs of aging, and there are more options than ever to address them. Some people choose an eyelid lift (blepharoplasty) for lasting results, while others explore non-surgical options like fillers and Botox for a quick boost. Here’s a guide to help you learn about both options, so you can feel confident in choosing the path that’s right for you.

Eyelid Lifts (Blepharoplasty): For a Lasting, Defined Look

An upper or lower eyelid lift, or blepharoplasty, is a type of surgery designed to remove extra skin and smooth out the area around your eyes. This can help address droopy lids or under-eye bags that may not improve with non-surgical treatments. In an upper eyelid lift, the focus is on removing sagging skin that might make your eyes look heavy. In a lower eyelid lift, we target puffiness and hollow areas that can make you look tired.

Why People Love Eyelid Lifts:

Long-Lasting Results: Unlike non-surgical treatments, eyelid lifts provide results that often last for years, making them a great option for anyone looking for a more permanent solution.

Restored Youthful Definition: Surgery can help you get rid of sagging skin and excess fat, creating a refreshed, youthful look that just isn’t achievable with fillers alone.

Things to Keep in Mind: This procedure involves some downtime, including a few days of swelling and bruising. However, many people find the transformative results well worth it, especially when considering how long they last.

Non-Surgical Options: What Can Fillers and Botox do?

Not ready for surgery? No worries! Many people see fantastic results from non-surgical treatments. Fillers, like Redensity and Restylane®, can add volume to smooth out under-eye hollows, while Botox can soften fine lines around the eyes and create a brow lifting effect. These options work especially well if you’re looking to improve mild to moderate signs of aging without any downtime.

Popular Fillers for the Eye Area:

Redensity: This filler is designed for the delicate under-eye area. It can add hydration and gently lift mild hollows, brightening the under-eye area without any drastic changes.
Restylane: Restylane® works well for moderate hollows, restoring volume and creating a rested look under the eyes.

How Botox Can Help: Botox is popular for treating crow’s feet and softening fine lines around the eyes. It can even be used to give a slight lift to the brows, which helps open up the eyes.

Who Benefits from Fillers and Botox?

Those with mild under-eye hollows or fine lines looking for a quick, non-surgical refresh.
People who aren’t ready for surgery but want to enhance their look.
Individuals with minimal skin laxity and a well-defined eyelid shape.

Things to Consider: Non-surgical treatments like fillers and Botox are temporary. Filler results typically last 4-12 months and Botox® results last about 3-4 months. They also have some limitations for addressing more advanced signs of aging, such as deep under-eye bags or significant skin laxity.

How to Decide Which Approach is Best for You

When choosing between an eyelid lift and non-surgical treatments, it’s essential to think about your specific concerns, your lifestyle, and your long-term goals. Some people may find that a combination of both treatments ideal.

For instance, if you have a significant amount of skin along your upper eyelids, an upper blepharoplasty can remove the extra skin, while Botox can help lift your brows and reduce the fine lines (crow feet) around your eyes. There are quite a few combinations of surgery and treatment options for eye rejuvenation.

Great work and results. Friendly doctor with nice treatment. Highly educated with great experience. He coordinates with his staff to stay communicated with their patients before or after surgery. You can’t feel afraid during the surgery time. I would also recommend him for plastic surgery for both genders of people.

Great office staff. Dr. Singh is truly amazing at what he does. I had a great experience with my Lipo 360. I’m currently 5 days post op and I’m loving my results.

My experience with Dr. Singh and the entire staff was exceptional! He was extremely thorough and very patient. The staff was awesome too! They were kind and always had such a wonderful attitude! I’m extremely happy with my results! Highly recommend!

Dr. Singh does amazing work. All his staff are very knowledgeable and professional. I highly recommend him.

Amazing doctor! Excellent staff. Dr. Singh is a doctor that shows you that there are still excellent doctors around. He gives you great ideas and he gives you the most bang for your buck and takes your budget seriously. I am going back soon!

The purpose of my review is to highly recommend Dr. Singh for plastic surgery. I couldn’t be more pleased with his surgical skill. His office staff was incredibly helpful as well. They are approachable and well informed. I researched several surgeons in the DC metro area and visited with three. Dr. Singh was the second surgeon I visited and when I left his office, I knew he was the best surgeon for me. He understood the results I was hoping for and he was honest with me about what I should expect. His demeanor is calm, collected, and confident. His staff is truly phenomenal. I asked them a million questions and to them there wasn’t a question too personal or too mundane. They really helped me be at ease with what I was planning to do and they walked me through every step of the procedure so I knew what to expect from surgery and during the recovery process.

WOW! Dr. Singh and his staff were wonderful. After meeting him, I was no longer nervous and very excited. They made the whole process comfortable and non-scary. The results were spectacular. I looked and felt great. I got my confidence back! I was treated great and came back for the second procedure. This is the place to go! You will be happy with the quality of work and the personalized service. Thanks so much guys!!!!

Dr. Singh is absolutely amazing at his job! I’ve been his patient for about 6 years now and I continue to use his services not only because of his expertise and meticulously high standards, but also his integrity. All of the staff are professional, kind and attentive. They truly are the best in the area!

Dr. Singh and his staff are absolutely phenomenal. I am a male diagnosed with Poland’s Syndrome. I chose to have a pec implant surgery, and I could not have been happier with my results. Stunning. No longer do I feel I have to hide my abnormality with jackets and oversized shirts. I feel I have obtained a second family with the staff. I cannot say enough…simply. From recluse to social butterfly!

Washingtonian Plastic Surgery was a great place for me to get my breast augmentation done because Dr. Navin Singh is an excellent doctor and was very upfront and honest with his opinion on what would best fit me and would look as natural as possible. I am happy with my results and totally recommend anyone who wants to become a newer and better version of themselves to go here! Very comfortable environment with great customer service from the ladies at the front desk. You won’t regret it!

I was truly impressed with your nice facility, the caring staff, and friendly attitudes and smiles. The office was furnished with style and class. The doctor I saw, Dr. Navin Singh, is TRULY AMAZING, as well as the front desk staff. It was good to be treated with professionalism and care. I appreciated their follow-up and willingness to answer questions as well. All this adds up to fabulous customer service, which can be hard to come by. THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH!!! You have a customer for life.

At fifty-nine (59), I had contemplated eyelid surgery for years. My upper eyelids grossly sagging & my under-eye puffiness covered an area 2″ x 2″ under the eyes. Dr. Navin Singh’s superior excellence to detail & perfection changed my life! Dr Navin Singh is the Dr’s, the patient’s & the only choice.

Dr Singh and his staff are so professional and is always available to be in contact with, not like most doctor offices around. He was very honest and made me feel very comfortable. I’m three days into my tummy tuck procedure and I will say he explained and went over everything as they would happen. I can’t yet tell my results but it’s a noticeable change. I will definitely recommend and go back for more procedures!

I know the decision to have cosmetic surgery is a big one. It can be costly, and it carries some risk, but it will change your life for the better. I used this site a lot when making my decision and I had consultations with several surgeons. I took a methodical approach, weighed all my options carefully, and I can say with full confidence that if you’re looking for a procedure that Dr. Singh performs, you should go with him, or at least have a consultation. He’s an amazing doctor and just a great person in general. His staff is as kind, patient, thorough, and knowledgeable as he is, and all of that makes a huge difference.

Dr. Singh is AMAZING!!!! I have nothing but wonderful things to say about him and his team. He is so personable and I loved that he and his team made sure that all my questions and concerns were addressed and answered. I started my journey with Dr. Singh in 2010 with a breast augmentation. I did 500cc saline, filled to 550cc. He and his staff were so supportive and helpful before, during, and after surgery. My breasts look so nature and look fantastic!!! I was so happy with my results and Dr. Singh that I went back to him for a tummy tuck with muscle repair in 2012 and now I’m going back for liposuction!

The mini-tummy tuck turned out even better than I expected

Dr. Singh, In two weeks, I didn’t have any bruising, swelling is gone, it looks so natural. I just got engaged and I look so good in my pictures. Thanks so much.

You are a VERY special man. You & Nicolette have changed my life. THANK YOU!! 🙂
