I look tired

A tired appearance is very often the result of tired eyes, since it is in the eyes that the first signs of aging appear: drooping eyelids, puffiness and hollow dark circles are generally responsible. When the mirror reflects an image that doesn't correspond to us, it can have an impact on the way we see ourselves. Dr Hayot, an eye care specialist, offers a range of solutions to give you a fresh, rejuvenated look.

What causes a tired-looking face?

Constantly tired air is often multi-factorial in origin. During a facial examination, Dr. Hayot often finds drooping eyelids and hollow dark circles. Small bags under the eyes begin to appear, and dark circles gradually deepen: this combination is at the root of a tired look. Drooping eyebrows and sagging facial contours also contribute to a tired appearance. These manifestations may be congenital or the result of skin aging. The depletion of hyaluronic acid, elastin and collagen in the skin leads to a loss of firmness, skin tissue and fatty tissue.

Who's affected by a tired look?

Dr Hayot sees both male and female patients. A young female patient is very often found in consultation, but so are young men in their thirties. In addition, certain lifestyle habits (insufficient sleep, unbalanced diet, smoking, pollution, etc.) favor skin aging and accentuate a tired appearance.

Dr Hayot's solutions for regaining a dynamic look

There are a number of ways to refresh the eyes. Dr Hayot welcomes you for an initial consultation, during which a complete examination of your face is carried out. Depending on your needs, your doctor will suggest the appropriate solution.

Removing under-eye bags

The presence of bags under the eyes can be constitutional or secondary to skin aging. Dr. Hayot performs transconjunctival removal of bags using a laser scalpel, a procedure he has been performing for a long time and now performs with increasing frequency. The technique must be extremely delicate, as excess skin must be removed without hollowing out the eyes. The laser scalpel does not cause bleeding at the incision, and enables the practitioner to follow every step of the procedure in detail and with precision. This procedure is most often combined with micro lipostructure: the patient's own fat fills in the dark circles, with a natural result and no overcorrection.

Toning the eyes with blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty, the cosmetic surgery of the eyelids, removes excess skin and fat that causes the eyelid to droop. The sagging of the eyes is corrected and the face is refreshed.

Treating dark circles

The presence of dark circles considerably accentuates eye fatigue and ages the face. Hollow circles are most often the result of fat loss, which is why lipofilling or micro-lipostructure is one of the effective solutions for treating hollow circles. The results of lipofilling are lasting and natural. For colored or pigmented dark circles, Dr. Hayot performs nano-lipofilling to fade the color of the dark circles. This technique is derived from lipofilling and is based on the regeneration of skin tissue.

What are the results of treatments for a tired-looking face?

The results of eyelid surgery are lasting. An upper blepharoplasty removes excess fat and skin and corrects a heavy, drooping eyelid. Hollow-ring lipofilling is effective and definitive, filling the loss of volume secondary to skin ageing and lightening the eyes. It should be noted that Dr. Lamquin advises against the injection of hyaluronic acid into the eye ring: over time, a pocket may form and a bluish discoloration may appear on the lower eyelid. Laser pocket removal is definitive, as the pocket does not reform. This procedure leaves no scars.
