periorbital rejuvenation
Pronunciation: pair-ee-OR-bit-al
Comprehensive approach to addressing aging changes around the eyes using multiple treatment modalities.
Full Definition
Periorbital rejuvenation encompasses various surgical and non-surgical treatments designed to address aging changes in the area surrounding the eyes. This may include upper and lower eyelid surgery, lateral canthopexy, fat grafting, neurotoxin injections, dermal fillers, and skin resurfacing procedures. The goal is to restore a more youthful appearance while maintaining natural eye shape and function. Treatment planning requires careful assessment of eyelid position, fat distribution, skin quality, and underlying bone structure. The approach is often staged, combining procedures strategically to achieve optimal results while minimizing complications and recovery time.
Usage
