I'm interested in getting an upper eyelid treatment. I am scheduled for full face/neck Ulthera tomorrow, but feel that if I recieved an eyelid tx, it would be more benificial to the fresh look I am trying to achieve. I am 42, & my eyes always appear puffy & tired. What would be acheived w/tx available? Would Restylne filler make my eyes puffier? or raise my brows?
Answer: Non-invasive treatment for eyelid rejuvenation It is impossible to make any specific comments without a photo. Restylane can be used in the tear troughs; to elevate the brows, I would recommend an initial trial of Botox. Honestly, I agree with Dr. Kabaker that none of the treatments you are considering will produce significant or lasting results.

Thank you for your question. For upper eyelid problems, if there is loose skin, then CO2 has been very reliable. If there is fat, and excessive skin, then get the surgery with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or (No Suggestions) if they feel you will benefit and are a good candidate. I hope this helps.

Answer: Eyelid Rejuvenation
In order to evaluate for eyelid treatment versus brow treatment you want to take a look at the brow location. The upper eyelids can appear aged either due to ptosis or descent of the brow or to relaxation and redundancy of the upper eyelid skin.
The Ulthera can help when a small amount of lift is needed for the brow. If lifting the brow doesn't create the refreshed appearance you are looking for or the brow is at an adequate position then direct upper eyelid treatment is necessary. This is often done with the CO2 laser 'Madonna eyelift' for a small amount of skin tightening or surgical excision if more skin tightening is needed.

Answer: Best Eyelid Non-Surgical Rejuvenation Treatment
Hi Christine,
All of the modalities that you mention can help improve upper eyelids. Ulthera is used on the forehead and eyebrows to give a moderate eyebrow lift (2 to 3 mm). The CO2 laser is used directly on eyelid skin to tighten the skin. I have not had any experience with Thermage on eyelids. It is difficult to advise what would be best for you without examining you or seeing photos. Good luck and be well.
