Ophthalmologist, Dr Peter Martin from Harley Place Day Surgery in Bondi Junction can surgically enhance your eyes to help you fight the signs of ageing. For most patients, their eyes are the first area that shows the signs of ageing. This is largely because the eye contour has the thinnest and most fragile skin on the entire face. The skin around the eyes is constantly under the strain of the 22 muscles in continuous motion (this strain is caused from the 10,000 or so blinks our eyes make per day). This perpetual strain of the eye contour is the first area to show signs of ageing and a common desire for cosmetic treatment.
Over time and as a result of strain, blood and lymph microcirculation around the eyes begins to slow. This inevitably causes the skin to look droopy or saggy; the thin skin around the eye contour reveals the marks of damaged vessels and capillaries often as a result of inadequate lymph drainage. The more fragile or dehydrated the skin is, the more it shows signs of ageing and tiredness.
Lifestyle choices, genetic factors and your environment can all also contribute to the effects of ageing around your eyes.
The severity, type of wrinkle and area you wish to treat will affect the type of treatment required to enhance your eyes. Dr Peter Martin will assess your eyes and the surrounding skin to help determine the treatment that is best for your needs. The cosmetic treatments available at our Bondi Junction practice include:
