An excess of skin on the upper eye lid can cause a ‘heaviness’to the eye and sometimes make the eye appear somewhat closed, giving a sleepy or sad look about the eye. An excess of skin under the eye can cause a ‘eye bag’to form, which can give the look of being permanently tired. These problems often occur together.

Previously a surgical removal of these excesses of skin would have been necessary, but in many cases a procedure called Plexr can be used.

There can be some discomfort, but almost all patients easily tolerate this treatment. Numbing medication is used prior the procedure, and a cooling gel after the treatment.

You will experience swelling and redness for about 5 days after the procedure.

PLEXR® Plus is an extremely safe treatment. The treatment area will have a series of tiny light brown scabs which will fall off in 5-7 days.

You can also expect a small degree of swelling for 1-3 days, particularly in the case of eyelid correction. Special camouflaging cream is part of the recovery kit.
