Combining Fillers and Neuromodulators (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin) Helps Worry Lines, Scowl Lines and Under Eye Wrinkles & Troughs

Photoaging and chronologic aging-related deterioration in the quality and quantity of collagen and elastin fibers and hyaluronic acid along with concomitant overactivity of the muscles of facial expression all contribute to the formation of scowl (frown) lines between the eyes, worry lines across the forehead and crinkles and crepeyness under the eyes. Fortunately, we have neuromodulators, such as Botox, Dysport and Xeomin to damp the muscular hyperkinesis and fillers, like Belotero Balance... more

Frown lines and under-eye bags are easily treated.

Having the fat removed from your under eye bags for roughly $2500-3500 and having the 2 frown lines filled in with restylane, juvederm or belotero for roughly $550 would be great and easy to undergo. Keep up the retin A. Sincerely, David Hansen,MD

Peri-Ocular Surgery??

Thanks for the photograph. Yes, you are doing the right thing by trying to maintain your skin. You have now most likely realized it is time for something else. Yes, surgery on the peri-ocular area can and does result in dramatic changes in appearance. This is because the first thing you look at when you look at someone is their eyes then, you track to the nose and the rest of their face. An upper and lower lid bletharoplasty will certainly help with the excessive upper eyelid skin and bags... more

Non invasive eyebrow lift with Ultherapy and at some point lower eyelid surgery

Ultherapy is FDA approved for non invasive eyebrow lift which would raise your eyebrows and open your eyes. At some point, consider lower eyelid surgery to remove the fat pads. Continue retin A as it will keep your skin brilliant and young. Botox for the 11 lines may be a consideration for you.

Forehead and lower eyelid improvement

Looking at your pictures, you are a great candidate for a lower eyelid blepharoplasty to improve your lower eyelids. This surgery will reduce the puffiness or"bags" under your eyes. Its hard to tell from the photo, but you may also have some lid laxity that can be addressed during the same surgery. You have excess skin and fat on your upper eyelids as well, which can be significantly improved with an upper blepharoplasty. Your forehead lines and eyebrow position would... more

Help for forehead and under eyes?

Based on the single photo you submitted, your best option for improvement of your lower eyelids would be blepharoplasty the most common procedure I perform. A small amount of extra skin and protruding fat is removed from the lower eyelid to create a more youthful lower eyelid. You might also consider the same procedure on your upper eyelids to open your eyes and eliminate the tired eye look. With regard to your forehead, you would benefit significantly from laser skin resurfacing to smooth... more

Help for forehead and under eyes

Topical products like Retin-A only work for very superficial retexturizing and fine lines. When you look in the mirror, between your eyebrows, you have what are called static lines. This means the lines are so etched that even Botox or Dysport there won't entirely remove them; they are there regardless of muscle movement. But I would assume that when you move your face, these static lines become even deeper and harder. This movement, then, also creates further dynamic lines and wrinkles. So,... more

Hi Jamie. You would probably be best served with a blepharoplasty (upper and lower eyelid surgery) for the eyes and a surgical browlift or Dysport (Botox) for the forehead and between the eyes.

Help for forehead and under eyes

Botox or Dysport for the lines on the forehead are a great option that can yield a fantastic result. Upper and lower eyelid surgery would be the best treatment to improve the appearance of the eyes. I would recommend a consult with an experienced and board certified facial plastic surgeon or oculoplastic surgeon. He or she will be able to examine you in person and provide you with the best treatment options based on your individual needs. I hope this helps and best of luck to you. more

Lower eyelid bags and loose skin

You have a few different problems. You have lower eyelid bags (fat prolapse) and relatively loose skin. Retin-A will not fix those problems. Transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty with some kind of skin tightening (skin pinch versus chemical peel versus other technique) are best for your lower eyelid eyelids. Your forehead issue is different. You have "eleven lines" between your eyebrow, caused by repeated skin folding, which can be improved, but not eliminated, but combination of... more
