Hi @BigBootyGoalsss! I recommend botox in the frontalis, glabella, and crows feet. Starting in you 20's will help atrophy the facial muscles and weaken them so that you don't have to get Botox as often when you are older. The upper cheek is a major support for the under eyes. I would first begin with addressing the volume loss in the cheeks followed by addressing the tear trough area.

"I suggest reaching out to an expert for a formal consultation. I like to recommend my patients start a combination of facial rejuvenation treatments.

1) Skincare with products and microneedling/PRP
2) PDT Light Therapy a few times per month with growth factors
3) Laser treatments like Clear + Brilliant regularly and others (Fraxel, Moxi, Viva, CO2, Erbium, Halo) a few times per year
4) Sculptra injections a few times per year for collagen production with fillers like Juvederm, Restylane, Belotero, Radiesse, and/or Bellafill
5) Thermage/Ultherapy for yearly skin tightening with or without PDO or cone-based Instalift threads for lifting
6) Botox every 2 to 3 months to stop movement lines and prevent lines at rest

Best, Dr. Emer."

Hello, and thank you for your question. You may get Botox injections for your forehead and crow’s feet. In fact, there is what we call “Preventative Botox,” which patients in their 20s and 30s get to help keep wrinkles at bay. Fillers may also be used to treat under-eye circles or lack of volume in the cheeks. But the results you want will also depend on the skill and experience of your injector.

I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with a reputable board-certified facial plastic surgeon, particularly one with extensive experience with injectables. Such experts will have the skills, knowledge, and artistry to help you achieve the most natural-looking results. During your consultation, your surgeon will evaluate your skin quality and facial profile, discuss your concerns and goals, customize a treatment plan for you, and ensure the best possible outcome.

From your description and photos you can use Botox and fillers to accomplish your goals.  We also recommend using medical grade skin care products and wearing sunscreen every day.  There are wonderful skin treatments available such as Hydrafacial and Morpheus8 to keep your skin toned and healthy.

I would absolutely recommend botox, we call this "baby botox", as you are injecting at a young age, you are preventing that wrinkle from ever actually forming! As for under your eyes, you want to make sure you go to a surgeon, as filler under the eyes can be dangerous! If performed by a reputable provider, precise placement lowers your risk of any danger or migration of the filler.
