I had upper eyelid surgery about 4 years ago and fat removal and laser resurfacing as well. I would like to further tighten the skin under my eyes. Can I do that with more laser resurfacing or other non-surgical techniues? I prefer not to be under anesthesia again.
Answer: Ultrashort incision cheeklift to tighten skin under the eyes The lower eyes are a tricky area. If you just remove fat, hollowness ensues. If you remove skin in order to tighten the area, the corners of the eye pull down. This in turn causes a rounding of the eye or a distored eye shape.

Answer: A light CO2 laser can help reduce appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for a more youthful look Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

Answer: Non Surgical Help for Eyelids Lower lids: Ceramide creams for the lower lids which in minutes as they dry the clear membrane tightens the lower lid skin minimizing bags and wrinkles. This lasts from 4-8 hrs and can be reapplied as needed. Radiofrequency, laser and peels tighten the skin with minimal downtime. Fillers for fat transfer #lipoinjection, to the lower lid to fill in the cheek-lid depression that casts shadows also helps many.For the upper lids, Botox in the crows feet area just below the brow will gently lift the lateral brow and lift a bit of the hooding on the side of your eye. This lasts about 3-4 months. Make sure you go to an expert injector associated with a Plastic Surgeon, Facial Plastic Surgeon, Dermatologist, or Ophthalmologist skilled in injections.#LowerLidNonsurgicalHelp

Answer: Fractional or Confluent Ultrapulse CO2 Laser The most effective laser for tightening the skin around the eyes is the Active and Deep FX Ultrapulse CO2 laser. There are many different fractionated lasers that may help. But the Ultrapulse CO2 appears to be the most effective with the least pain and down-time. Physician experience is also important, since the laser can be used in a variety of settings. So be sure to select an experienced Board Certified Dermatologist or Cosmetic Surgeon. In my office, this procedure is performed entirely under topical anesthesia and patients can put make-up over the area in 4-5 days with complete healing in 7-10 days.
