I'm thinking of having fillers around the eye area, and I also want to have an under eye chemical peel. My question is: what is the right order to do it? Fillers first and then peeling or vice versa?

Answer: I would always augment and volumize before doing resurfacing Aging is in a large part due to a volume loss within the face. As we age we lose fat within our face, our bones get smaller and our skin thickness goes down too. A simple way to look at it is that we change slowly from a grape to a raisin. Resurfacing in my opinion should always be done after you volumize or reshape a certain area. This is more applicable to more permanent or semi permanent filling and reshaping procedures such as face lifting and fat grafting to the face. But I generally follow that same principle even with fillers. Many times you will find that you will need to do less resurfacing after these more permanent procedures and semi permanent procedures. Also, after these reshaping procedures, the wrinkles are less prominent and also respond better to resurfacing procedures like chemical peels and laser resurfacing because more of the surface becomes exposed.

Answer: Fillers and chemical peel timing You can do either one first, and you can do both together. If doing both together, it is probably better to do the filler first so that you donot have to inject through injured skin or swollen tissues.
