What Can Be Done for Crepey, Saggy Skin, hallowing and discoloration Under the Eyes? I do get Botox for my crows feet. I also had a medium chemical peel done under my eyes to try to help this problem, which only made it worse and now I have hallowing and discoloration under my eyes also because of the chemical peel. I have tried volbella and Botox and chemical peel and nothing has helped. I am only 32, I used to smoke but stopped 5 years ago and also used to tan a lot when I was younger.
Answer: Multiple treatments such as CO2, Morpheus8, and resurfx can help even out skin texture and tone while also tightening. Fractional CO2 laser is an excellent tool for skin rejuvenation in our center in Santa Monica. We use the fractional multi-depth ablative approach to help resurface the skin, recontour acne scars, improve incisional plastic surgery scars, and reduce surface irregularities from skin tone to dark pigmentation. Our approach utilizes a multi-depth approach that targets melanocytes in the epidermis and collagen fibroblasts in the dermis. This approach can be combined with a TCA Peel in a process known as a sapphire peel. Fractional laser is excellent for acne scars and contour scars in the skin. Patients are advised to undergo skin protocols with Melarase creams before and after treatment to help reduce pigmentation. Melarase AM, Melarase PM, and Melapads can seriously improve surface sun damage and UV related pigmentation. After the laser, we expect redness for a few weeks as the skin improves. PRP and Hydrafacial enzyme facials can further improve skin quality after fractional co2. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Answer: Dark Circles/Eye Bags/Wrinkles -- Fillers Belotero, Juvederm Volbella; Laser Like Fraxel/Co2/J Plasma; Microneedling/PRP; Peels 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 be the best long term. However, non invasive less downtime options such as fillers, lasers, microneedling/PRP, cosmelan peels and stem cells can all help give some improvement. I suggest. You get a formal consultation to see what is best for you and your goals. Best, Dr. Emer. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Crepey, saggy skin, hallowing and discoloration under the eyes? Most expert experienced artistic plastic surgeons have a variety of procedures, both non-surgical and surgical, at their disposal to produce excellent cosmetic results in the appropriately selected patient: temporary fillers, micro-fat grafts, and blepharoplasties. Each has benefits and drawbacks and depends on desired outcome and individual anatomy. In a patient with your inherited anatomy, a blepharoplasty including micro-fat grafts to the tear troughs will produce the best and longest lasting cosmetic result. Following the advice of anyone who would presume to tell you what to do without seeing photos and without taking a full medical history, examining you, feeling and assessing your tissue tone, discussing your desired outcome and fully informing you about the pros and cons of each option would not be in your best interest. Find a plastic surgeon that you are comfortable with and one that you trust and listen to his or her advice. The surgeon should be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS). You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person. Robert Singer, MD FACS La Jolla, California

Answer: Treating hollowing and crepey wrinkles under the eyes Hi and thank you for reaching out for an opinion. Your best option includes laser resurfacing (Erbium or CO2) which will address the crepey skin portion of your complaint, and tear trough filler to address the hollowness. Find a reputable Oculoplastic surgeon who is experienced in these two treatments and you should be able to obtain the results you seek. Best wishes, Dr. Pacheco
