The area around your eyes ages quickly, particularly the eyelids, which can accumulate excess skin over time due to frequent blinking. This can lead to heaviness, causing tired eyes by evening and making makeup application more challenging.

Additionally, the fat surrounding the eyes can protrude outward with age, resulting in puffiness or eye bags and giving a tired or sad appearance.

Personalized evaluation & tailored solutions

At SY Aesthetics, our approach starts with a comprehensive facial analysis, pinpointing your unique concerns. Our surgeons ensure that treatment is aligned with your anatomy and desired outcomes. Whether addressing skin, fat, muscle issues in eyelids or correcting eyebrow sagging, our evaluation ensures a personalized solution to leave the natural shape and beauty of your eyes untouched while removing the signs of aging. We utilize computer imaging for potential transformations and inform you about additional procedures for safety.

Advanced techniques for lasting results

Our over 25 years of experience employs the use of advanced eyelid surgery techniques, some eliminating under-eye puffiness without sutures. We can also soften under-eye circles, correct asymmetry, and reduce vertical lines between eyebrows.

Lower eyelid surgery can often be done without making any visible incisions. It is amazing that in as little as 20 minutes, your face can be transformed to look well-rested and more refreshed.

What our patients say...

I had eye bag issue for many years and had visited some plastic surgeons, but was scarred and concerned, couldn't make my mind until I came to SY Aesthetics where I saw Dr. Yager. I am so impressed by Dr. Yager's medical knowledge, experience, and kindness. The surgery went very well, no pain medication needed at all after the surgery. I went back to work 6 days after the procedure. In addition, the office staff at SY Aesthetics are so nice and very helpful. I am so happy about the results. Highly recommend.
