Question

Hello, Looking for ways to treat under eye/top cheek area that has been more prominent since losing weight. Just had breast aug so surgery isn't in the budget this year. I'm wary of fillers as i'm afraid of what that might look like. Would love botox but no one ever puts it there just crows feet. Open to any suggestions. 49 years old 5' 2" 110 lbs Thank you so much!

Hello, thank you for your question regarding eye wrinkles and microneedling. My first recommendation is Botox. Botox will help to drastically reduce these lines. Most of these lines/wrinkles would be addressed by just injecting the crow's feet area (the lateral aspect outside the orbital rim). Small amounts of Botox can even be injected (very superficially) into the creases under the eye itself. Additionally, I would recommend microneedling and also a hydrating eye cream (use it morning and night). I hope this helps!

Botox can be used to improve wrinkles around the eye. Deeper wrinkles need a combination approach with Botox and lasers, microneedling/prp and fillers. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

For your particular case i would suggest a combination modality:1. CO2 resurfacing, maybe 3 to 4 sessiones2. Microbotox for the undereye area (it's a special dilution of neuromodulator, different than the one used for treating dynamic wrinkles)3. Skin boosters, 3 sessions
Hope this helps!

First, let me correct you regarding the use of Botox for the region directly below the eyes. Yes, it is most definitely injected there when necessary to treat "jelly rolls,"  or when there is prominent hypertrophy of the infraorbital muscle. In this particular case, Botox can be used for the visible crow's feet lines to the sides and a series of in-office superficial peels accompanied by the at-home daily use of topical medications, such as retinoids or glycolic acid can be quite helpful for addressing the crepey, crinkly skin seen there. You would be wise to consult an experienced board certified cosmetic dermatologist. Hope this helps and best of luck.
