While there are a number of non-surgical aesthetic treatments that can help improve the appearance of the eye area — including skin tightening, resurfacing and injectable treatments — these are generally most effective for mild to moderate skin laxity in the earlier stages of ageing. Once the skin around the upper eyelids has lost significant elasticity and ptosis has set in, surgical removal of the excess skin is often the only effective long-term solution.
Determining whether surgery is necessary or whether non-surgical options may be suitable depends on the degree of skin laxity and the extent to which it is affecting your vision and daily life. If you are unsure which pathway is right for you, we encourage you to take advantage of one of the following options before committing to a surgical consultation:
Book a complimentary consultation with one of our cosmetic nurses, who can assess your concerns and guide you toward the most appropriate treatment pathway — whether that is a non-surgical option or a referral to one of our specialist plastic surgeons. Call us on 07 5683 0822 to arrange your appointment.
Send in your photos for a free assessment by emailing a clear photograph of your eye area to admin@thecoastalclinic.com.au. Our team will review your images and provide initial guidance on whether surgery or a non-surgical approach may be more appropriate for your concerns.
