Dr. Bray's Plastic Surgery Blog

Eyes are considered by many to be a window into a person's soul, and it's true that many unconscious movements of the eye can betray a person's true feelings about a situation or another person. However, as we age, sagging upper lids and puffy lower ones can give a completely false impression of how we are feeling. They can make us seem tired or disinterested, bored or angry. Giving a false impression like this can lead to many personal and professional difficulties.

A perpetually disinterested look can make our spouses or partners believe we are bored with the relationship, leading to or contributing to friction in the relationship. In our professional lives, so much is riding on first impressions. Whether you're going for a job interview, trying to make a sale, or meeting a client face-to-face for the first time, droopy, puffy eyes can make you seem sluggish, dull, or, even worse, shifty.

If you have noticed that people are saying you look tired or angry, even when you're happy. If sales don't seem to be closing the way they used to. If your resume is getting you interviews, but you just can't land that great new job or promotion, it may be your sagging eyelids are to blame. A blepharoplasty or eyelid lift can rejuvenate the appearance of your eyes, making you look as sharp as ever and letting your real feelings show. Contact Dr. Bray today to learn more about blepharoplasty and what it can do for you.
