When I smile I have “jelly rolls” under my eyes. I get dysport for my crows feet, would that help for my under eyes? I’ve heard that it could make my under eyes look more “puffy”. Any other suggestions besides blepharoplasty, or is that the only option?
Answer: Resurfacing lasers combined with a small amount of botox can help reduce the appearance wrinkles and jelly rolls under the eyes Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Melarase AM, Melarase PM, and Melapads can seriously improve surface sun damage and UV related pigmentation. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Answer: Consider your option for treating under-eye rolls Thank you for your question and for providing photos. Treating this area with a conservative amount of Botox or Dysport may minimize the appearance of the rolls you’re referring to. Other treatments such as laser resurfacing and RF microneedling can also diminish under-eye lines and improve your skin’s elasticity. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon or expert injector. They will be able to review your treatment history, assess your concern, and determine the best treatment plan for you.

Answer: Under eye concerns From your photos it appears you will have the best result from a combination of treatments. Fillers can be used to add volume and improve hollow areas. Morpheus8 and lasers can improve overall skin tone and texture. We also recommend using medical grade skin care products like Transform MD and wearing sunscreen every day. See an expert injector near you for an evaluation and discussion of your goals.

Answer: Jelly Roll Fix I have had great success in this area with microdosing botox to the jelly roll area to help smooth out the wrinkles. This area is commonly treated incorrectly with filler which will damage the very thin and privileged skin. Rather, the jelly roll is created from a hyperactive orbicular muscle which a small amount of botox will help relax.

Answer: Orbicularis rolls are unfixable… In my opinion, the rolls under your eyes are from lower lid orbicularis muscle that heaps up. In our experience, Botox doesn’t work, and neither does surgery. I wish there was better news for the jelly rolls! Dr Joseph
