I had a rhinoplasty and lower bleph 2 years ago and both need revisions. However, the circles under the eyes quickly returned. Would a mid-face lift help raise the cheek and fill in this area?
Answer: Dark Circles/Eye Bags/Wrinkles - Fillers (Belotero, Juvederm Volbella); Lasers (Fraxel/CO2); Renuvion; Microneedling/PRP; Peels At home peels like cosmelan, enlighten and aerify along with dermarolling (MTS roller with anteage MD ampules) should be started now. There are many things you can do to treat under eye hollows and dark circles. A surgical option to remove skin and/or fat will such as lower eyelid blepharoplasty with or without fat pad repositioning will be the best long term. There are many things you can do to treat under eye hollows and dark circles without surgery. Non invasive less downtime options such as fillers (Belotero, Juvederm Volbella), lasers (Moxi/Halo/Fraxel/CO2), Renuvion (J-Plasma), microneedling/PRP, stem cells and microneedling RF like Fractora PiXel8 or Morpheus can all help give some improvement. Accutite can often be used or stronger lasers like erbium or co2 spot treatment can tighten the skin and give very quick improvement in wrinkles and texture. A surgical option to remove skin and/or fat might be the best solution long-term. I suggest you get a formal consultation to see what is best for you and your goals. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Facial options Thank you for your question.It is difficult to make an exact determination through pictures. Based on your photo, you may benefit from facial fat grafting. I would recommend an in person consultation to discuss all of your options.

Answer: Don't get talked into harming yourself. Here are your best options based on your photos, which are not a substitute for a detailed in person consultation:1) Under eye fillers to smooth the transition from the lower eyelid and the top of the cheek. This approach is not permanent but does not require surgery. It is a fussy office service and it can be challenging to find the right injector. I know because I see many patients who fly into Los Angeles from Chicago to get under eye fillers. 2) Transconjunctival lower eyelid surgery with arcus marginalis release. This transfers some of the orbital fat in your lower eyelid to the top of your cheek. This is surgery and requires about 10 days of down time. Do not let well meaning surgeon insert implants that you do not need or talk you into fat grafts that are like injecting scar tissue in the eyelid and midface. This is unfixable.

Answer: Would a midface lift help the circles under my eyes? You do not have evidence of significant midface descent. A midface lift done well lifts the midface including cheeks without changing eyelid shape. However in your case you would not see meaningful improvement because your cheeks are in normal position. Fat grafting to the area can smooth the circles and give a long lasting g improvement, but experience with the procedure helps a great deal. I have drone many hundreds over a 15-20 year period.

Answer: Different analysis I am sorry to throw a wrench in your analysis. This analysis by no means is a substitute for a real in-life consultation. When I analyse the photo you have provided I really do not see any midface ptosis, or any significant volume loss. If I had one thing I could do to rejuvenate your face, I would do a brow lift and open up your eyes. I think it would make you look more rejuvenated and lighter.
