Laser eyelid tightening, or a fractional eyelift, is a minimally invasive cosmetic surgery for the eyelids that uses CO2 lasers, like the Fraxel Re:pair and CO2RE, instead of a scalpel. A physician uses the laser to precisely treat unwanted fat and loose skin around the eyes to completely rejuvenate the eye area
Eyelid tightening surgery is usually performed with a lower eyelid blepharoplasty to tighten the lower eyelid and give some patients more of an almond eye appearance. In older patients with laxity of the lower eyelid, it can be performed as a standalone procedure.
A drooping eyelid can stay constant, worsen over time (be progressive), or come and go (be intermittent). The expected outcome depends on the cause of the ptosis. In most cases, surgery is very successful in restoring appearance and function. In children, more severe drooping eyelids may lead to lazy eye or amblyopia.
