BELOW ARE THE TOP 5 FACIAL AGING CULPRITS AND HOW TO ADDRESS THEM :
Beauty might be in the eye of the beholder however , the key to beauty and a youthful appearance can be in the hands of a skilled cosmetic surgeon who specializes in treating the eyes and areas around the eyes .
If fine lines , wrinkles , sun damage , droopy eyelids , bags under the eyes or sagging brows are getting you down , come visit with Key-Whitman Eye Center ’ s oculofacial plastic surgeon Priya Kalyam . Meeting with her may be just what you need .
Why choose an oculoplastic surgeon for helping you look younger ? When we ’ re looking at someone ’ s face , our gaze naturally gravitates toward the other person ’ s eyes first , so when the signs of aging appear on the face , people notice .
The periorbital area of the face is one of the first places the signs of aging show up . The periorbital areas include your forehead , eyelids , areas near the eyelids , as well as your eye socket and rims .
According to Dr . Kalyam , “ If you rely on a plastic surgeon who specializes in treating the unique and complex anatomy of the eye , your results are typically going to be much more optimized in his or her hands than those of a physician who doesn ’ t specialize in that area .”
To perfect her craft , Dr . Kalyam spent six years carefully studying the anatomy of the eye and periorbital areas . This included full two years of surgical training during her oculoplastics fellowship at the esteemed Washington University in St . Louis , Missouri .
Dr . Kalyam recently joined Key-Whitman and is excited to offer patients a variety of anti-aging treatments — from minimally-invasive cosmetic procedures like cosmetic injections ( Botox , fillers ), laser resurfacing and chemical peels to surgical procedures , including eyelid lifts , under-eye bag correction , eyebrow lifts , mid-face lifts and others .

WRINKLES . The solution ? Neurotoxins like Botox . If you have wrinkles on your forehead , crow ’ s feet around the eyes or deep vertical lines between your brows that are aging you beyond your years , you are not alone . “ Wrinkles are definitely the most common complaint I hear from patients . Injecting Botox in or near those areas creates a smooth appearance and also gives a refreshing look around the eyes ,” Dr . Kalyam says .
SUN-DAMAGED SKIN AND FINE LINES . The solution ? Laser resurfacing , chemical peels and more . According to Dr . Kalyam , “ Here in Texas a lot of people experience sun damage . Unfortunately , sun damage can really age the skin . Depending on the patient , we may treat sun damage on the face with CO2 laser resurfacing , chemical peels , skin care solutions and facial creams .”
SAGGING FACIAL SKIN . The solution ? Fillers like JUVEDERM , Voluma and others . You don ’ t have to have wrinkles to look older . As Dr . Kalyam explains , “ People can still appear aged if they don ’ t have wrinkles , especially if they have volume loss near the eyes , cheeks or lips . Depending on the area of concern , we can inject fillers , typically composed of collagen or hyaluronic acid , to provide volume .”
ACNE AND ACNE SCARS . The solution ? Laser resurfacing , fillers and chemical peels . Acne and acne scars can make one ’ s face look older and tired . For smoother and more vibrant skin , Dr . Kalyam may recommend laser resurfacing , fillers or chemical peels .
SAGGING EYELIDS AND BROWS , BAGS UNDER THE EYES . The solution ? Surgery . “ Sagging eyelids , brows and bags can definitely age your face . To address these issues , we perform surgical eyelid lifts , brow lifts and surgery to address lower eyelid bags . These are by far the most common oculoplastic surgical procedures I perform . Surgery takes place at our state-of-the-art surgery center at Key-Whitman ’ s Dallas headquarters , where my office is located ,” says Dr . Kalyam .
