I went for my consultation today for slight under eye wrinkles when smiling. Surgeon recommended one site Botox and one syringe Perlane along each cheekbone. I'm 36 and Latina so have been quite lucky as far as aging, thus, don't want to trade a small problem for a bigger one(ie: hollows, more wrinkles, bags, droopiness,changed eye shape, etc). Should I do just one for now since I'm new at this? I'd hate to overdo it. And I don't want to end up wishing I'd just left things alone.
Answer: Trust Your Instincts
If you are worried about overdoing it and what to start conservatively, trust your instinct. It is completely normal to try one of the procedures to see if you like the results. I would try to Botox first from what you describe. If like the results, then everyone is happy. If the results are ok and you want to do more, then add the filler. If you hate the results, it is all temporary and you will return to normal in a few months time period. If you are seeing an experience doctor, these procedures are very safe.
I hope this helps.

Answer: Botox and injectable filler at the same time (Liquid Lift) Thank you for the question. You can combine injectables to personalize your treatment. I perform this as part of a "Liquid Lift". Neuromodulators like Botox can relax frown lines and hyaluronic acid injectables can lift the crease left behind. Studies have shown that the results of hyaluronic acid injectables last longer when used in tandem with Botox. As always, an in-person consultation with a board certified dermatologist with cosmetic training is the best way to assess your needs and provide medical advice.

Answer: Botox and fillers for under the eyes
The best treatment option really depends on your individual circumstances and goals. In general, an appropriate skincare regimen, resurfacing procedures such as peels and lasers, and finally Botox or Dysport injections can address fine wrinkles under the eyes. For undereye bags, I typically use Restylane in the lower eye areas and then Perlane or Radiesse to fill in the entire cheek (not just the cheekbone). This makes the undereye bags less noticeable. I would recommend a consult with an experienced physician. When you are in good hands, the chances of any negative side affects are greatly minimized. I hope this helps, and good luck!

Answer: Botox with a filler
Depending on what your aesthetic goals are, you probably have your answer. If it's volumizing, then any dermal filler injected well, will help improve that volume loss. It it's volumizing AND wrinkles you're trying to help avoid, then yes, doing both at the same time help for longer term correction of the area.
