I've had creases under my eyes since I was born. I'm 25 but feel like they just look worse as time goes on. They are pretty deep creases so Im not sure fillers would be the way to go. What procedures can be recommended for this ?

Answer: What can be done about under eye creases? Genetic not age related Thank you for your question. Your analysis is correct and that the appearance of your lower eyelid is a genetic trait rather than being an age related change. Although there is a crease it forms a youthful eyelid cheek junction and I do not feel it detracts from the appearance of your eyes. As it is not related to excess skin or fat mal-positioning I would be conservative in the treatments offered. You could try a small amount of botox in the lower lid or a filler such as belotero - best of luck.RegardsDr Guy Watts

Answer: Botox or transcutaneous blepharoplasty It's important to realize that not all wrinkles can be removed from the lower lids with any technique, especially when you are smiling. I would try small dose Botox injections under the lashes first and see if you are satisfied with the result. If you wanted to be more aggressive, you could consider surgically removing a very small amount of skin and orbicularis muscle (after the Botox wears off so that the eyelid can withstand the incisional surgery safely). Just remember, even though you can expect an improvement with either technique, the results cannot be guaranteed to be picture perfect in everyone.
