Trevor M. Born, MD answers: Mixto or Eyelid surgery for tired looking eyes?

I am 38 and my biggest concern is with my eyes. I have a tired look. I don't have lots of fat under my eyes, not too much wrinkling but some. I just look tired. My upper lids are starting to droop. I have some wrinkles on face and neck as well. I have fairly sensitive skin and a red tone. Will MiXto help me with my under eyes and wrinkles or should I just pay more money and get eyelid surgery? Even if I still did procedures, I'd want to fill my laugh lines. I'm trying to get a picture on here soon to show my facial skin.

Dear Tony, eyelid surgery and Mixto will yeild different results in regards to the skin and the shape of your eyelids.  Mixto will help with the skin texture, fine wrinkles and perhaps some color change- if there is sun damage.

Eyelid surgery will help with the skin- lines, loosenes, the puffing fat and the shaping of the lower and upper eyelids...... the result may be more dramatic than Mixto alone. 

So the choice will depend on the features of your eyes and the changes you want to make.

With Warm Regards,

Trevor M Born MD
