I'm a 30-year-old female with fair, slightly freckled skin. I have been very unhappy with the skin around my eyes lately: it is puffy above the eye and slightly droopier on one side, and below the eye, the skin puffs up when I smile and there are some wrinkles forming. Are eye/eyebrow lifts the only ways to solve the eyelid problem? The botox did nothing. Perhaps I didn't get enough? I have been recommended laser resurfacing for under-eye wrinkles. Will this work?
Laser resurfacing is unlikely to address your concerns. I would recommend a conservative upper blepharoplasty to address your upper lids. A blepharoplasty that removed a small amount of skin would allow you to see your eyelashes, which is what many of my patients want. However, excessive skin excision will give you a skeletonized, aged appearance. The bunching up of the lower lids when you smile is due to contraction of the orbicularis oculi muscle. This responds well to injection of Botox or Dysport to weaken that muscle.
I agree with Dr. Steinsapir that Texas Oculoplastic Consultants would be an excellent place to seek a local opinion.
I am in my 30s. Had CO2 laser resurfacing done on my face and noticed creases under my eyes that I didn’t have before. I had a follow-up with my doctor and he said its normal because of swelling and will go away within 6 months as collagen builds, but they don't look swollen to me. Does this sound accurate or is the doctor trying to cover up a surgery gone bad? I trust him but want a 2nd opinion for reassurance. The pic is 7 days post-surgery.
The results of laser resurfacing can take up to 6 months to manifest themselves. As such, being only a week after your treatment you are far away from seeing the final results.
I would speak with the doctor who performed your laser treatment and express your concerns.
I hope that helps!
machines "specialized" for one treatment perform that treatment perfectly.What is the best laser for “eyelids wrinkles”? Please I ask your opinion for “wrinkles..” on lasers that require one session AND your opinion on lasers that require more sessions to obtain the same results… What is the best laser specific for skin resurfacing? Please,I’m again asking about lasers that require one session AND on gentler lasers that require more sessions to obtain the same results. Thanks a lot
To answer your question, there is really not one single laser that is best for a single area but there are lasers that are more effective for addressing certain conditions such as wrinkling, excess oil, redness, etc.
For lines around the eyes, I use the Lumenis Encore Fractional CO2 laser. Because the skin around the eyes is so delicate, I often treat twice just to be safe but am very pleased with the results so far.
My recommendation for you is to not only look at the best laser but also focus on who is performing your treatment. Almost anyone can buy a laser but there are a lot of practitioners out there who have little to no experience using them. And given the delicate nature of the tissue around your eyes, this could be disasterous.
I hope this helps!
