Hi there! I just turned 40 and noticed these horrible wrinkles under my eyes when I smile. They are just fine lines when not smiling. I don't really have deep troughs or hollows--just bad smile wrinkles, perhaps due to bleaching creams for dark circles, or lack of sleep over the years.Nowadays, the concealer sinks into the wrinkle and looks really bad! I am trying to see what procedure is best for me. Which treatment is better among Restylane, Botox and laser treatment? I am desperate for help and guidance. Thank you!
Answer: Best Option for Under Eye Wrinkles? Hi GoGo. While we have the option of suggesting injections, lasers or surgery at our practice, for you, we would recommend surgery first because of the amount of excess skin and laxity (looseness). Lasers and injections are an option if you are absolutely unwilling or unable to consider surgery. In this case, we would recommend a fractional laser resurfacing procedure like the Sciton Profractional and an injection product like Restylane. Even with both of these on board, we would have very realistic expectations as it looks like the skin bunches up under your eyes when you smile. A lower blepharoplasty surgery would be our first recommendation. Good luck.

Answer: Wrinkles There are various lasers and treatments such as botox that can used to treat wrinkles. I would advise you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed examination to discuss all possible treatment options and what your expectations are.

Answer: Good looking eyes look good! You have three options in my hands. 1. Superficial peel or micro laser to tighten the skin. This could also include thermismooth or some other radiofrequency options 2. Filler or botox to fill the wrinkles or manipulate the way the muscles contract or 3. (probably the best and most effective option) a small skin pinch with muscle suspension. If you have time flip through my photos. There is a very young and pretty girl about your age who I did just that on. She is very happy and it was a relatively straight forward procedure. There is no problem with starting slow with the more simple options. Everyone is different. Some people want a big change and treatment others are willing to be patient with slower approaches. Find a surgeon you trust and be clear with your goals.Hope this helps,Best of luck,DrC

Answer: Improving Under Eye with Fillers (Belotero, Volbella, Restylane Silk), Fraxel, Microneedling/PRP A combination approach will give the most improvement. Fillers, lasers, and microneedling/PRP can improve under the eyes. My patients try to get non surgical treatments to avoid surgery. We use PRP and stem cells there often. I suggest consulting with an expert to develop a treatment plan best suited for your short and long term goals. Best, Dr. Emer
