Plexr is a plasma skin treatment that shrinks skin. That is not your problem. Your problem is that you have ptosis or eyelid drooping that was either caused by your eyelid surgery or exposed by the surgery. Either way you need the ptosis corrected surgically. Plexr will not do this. Don't waste your time and money.
hello, from your picture it is difficult to assess what bothers you more - the mild ptosis, excess upper lid skin fold, or hollow upper eyelids after your blepharoplasty surgery.It would be useful for you to review your eyelid appearance in youth, to decide what needs addressing.I would recommend a consultation with an experienced oculoplastic surgeon, to decide the best way forward.Plexr would address the loose skin folds well, however will not restore the hollow upper lid sulcus or correct the droopy eyelid.
If your eyelid position is truly as the photo depicts, then you do have some mild ptosis [droop] of the upper eyelid, along with some loss of volume. Ptosis repair alone may be enoughto improve upper eyelid hollowness. Sometimes additional fat grafting may be required. The technique in the eyelids is slightly different from traditional fat grafting, but sub-brow traditional fat grafting may also be helpful. I have attached links two patient below: one that that underwent both ptosis repair and fat grafting to the eyelids, and a younger patient that just underwent ptosis repair that improved her upper eyelid hollowness.
Dear IoannisThank you for your question and photo! It is difficult to give an opinion without a formal consultation. I have not seen the results of Plexr so I can not comment. You do have asymmetry of your eyes- and depending on your concern- a different approach to each eye would be required to create more symmetry.With Warm RegardsTrevor M Born MD
Would be helpful to see a pre-op photo too. You have a deep sulcus and not much fat in the upper lids. you should see an oculoplastic surgeon to discuss your options. You may want to consider filler to replace some of the lost volume. Another option is to take off some more skin, but you will have an even deeper sulcus then, although they will look more symmetric,
Dear LR888Thank you for your question and photo! There can be several things that change with your eyelids over time- return of puffing fat, loss of cheek and malar volume, eyelid skin thinning, and changes in the eyelid muscle ( it can look like puffy fat)!With Warm RegardsTrevor M Born MD
Dear Naty82Thank you for your question! There are several options for your eyelids.... you are not too young for eyelid surgery- BUT I can not give an opinion without a proper consultation.With Warm RegardsTrevor M Born MD
Dear InsanelysilverThank you for your question and photos! If you have acute dryness, surgery on or around your eyes can make this worse. As long as you are prepared to use moisturizing drops and have these symptoms and your surgeon is going to manage this - you are assuming that...
My opinion is that if you have some hooding, the sooner you have a blepharoplasty, the longer you get to enjoy the results. I have performed upper lid blepharoplasties on many 30 something patients, and even have one teenage male that needed the removal of excess upper lid skin. I've also...
There are many ways to treat dark circles, as well as under eye wrinkles and bags. It is important to note however, that the majority of times the cause for discoloration is genetic and due to the viability of the blood vessels below the skin. A combination approach is always needed to get the...
Hi there,We all have facial asymmetries. These asymmetries in the orbit can lead to cosmetically obvious features. This can manifest as upper or lower eyelid asymmetries, asymmetry in orbital volume, asymmetry in globe (eyeball) position. You should seek out an orbital...
