Eyelid ptosis and hollowness

Your two most obvious problems are upper eyelid ptosis (droopy) and hollowness. The ptosis is also causing you to raise your brows to see better, which in effect unveils the upper eyelid hollows. Ptosis surgery would lift your eyelids, lower your brows, and help cover up the upper eyelid hollows. Additional surgical and nonsurgical options are available, depending on your exam. You should consult an oculoplastic surgeon. Dr Taban

Fillers, Botox injections, and ptosis repair.

You have mild upper eyelid ptosis which would be nicely addressed with an internal ptosis repair. In addition, you prominent eyes with mild cheek descent and a tear trough deformity [hollowness between eyelids and cheek. This could be nicely addressed with fillers [Restylane or Juviderm]. The fine lines around the eyes [crow's feet] can be addressed with Botox. Pricing can vary from surgeon to surgeon. A good resource to find Oculoplastic surgeons is ASOPRS.org. You can... more

Eye lid wrinkling, fat grafting and fillers

I think, as you can see from the answers here, that you have a lot of potential options. You are quite young and a conservative approach is likely the best way to start. It is almost impossible to tell you exactly what you need until you have had a full evaluation. Photos, while helpful in some cases, can be deceiving. I would highly recommend seeing a Plastic Surgeon who can do that evaluation and give you a set of options that will fit your needs, desires and budget more

Best Treatment for Wrinkles Around the Eyes

Hi Elie, Non-invasive methods (Fraxel repair, Restylane, Botox) for you eyelid wrinkle concerns would be best. Surgery for ptosis and mid-face lift. You can also achieve improvement in your midface, neck, and peri-orbital areas with Ultherapy, ultrasound treatment that lifts and tightens non-invasively. Cost varies depending upon the procedure as well as the individual surgeon. Do choose your treating physician most carefully. Good luck and be well. Dr. P more

Filler and Botox

I would recommend Juvederm in the tear trough and latera orbital shelf and some Botox in the crows' feet area. Alternatively you would benefit from a midfacelift in which case you would not need the filler. Yes you have very mild ptosis so you can wait on that.

Wrinkles around the eyes

Thank you for submitting your photos - they are very helpful. You are young and tend to have some hollows around your eyes. I would as much as possible attempt to avoid surgery and use less invasive ways to improve your eyelid concerns. I am sure that fillers (ie. Restylane) and Botox (in a variety of areas around the eyes) can significantly help without cutting. The one area that does need surgery is to correct your ptosis. However, if you are an appropriate... more
