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: 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.
