Adam Scheiner, MD · Answer

Dear Regina,It appears you have an active orbicularis muscle which is responsible for the under eye crinkles when you smile. One option would be botox or xemoin to the muscles around and under the eyes.Seek an a specialist in Oculoplastic surgery in your area.I hope this was helpful.

Thank you for sharing your question and posting your photographs. You have prominent orbicularis muscles, fat pads or a combination of both. Surgery or Botox can possibly be used to help. See an experienced Oculoplastic Surgeon for comprehensive evaluation and discussion of potential treatment options.Good luck,

What you are noticing is muscle activity.  The degree of the muscle dynamics can be softened with conservative use of Botox.  See an expert injector for this sensitive area.

John R. Burroughs, MD · Answer

This is from prominent orbicularis eye muscle.  Conservative botulinum neuromodulators "wrinkle blockers" (e.g., Xeomin, Botox, Dysport) can be given in small amounts  and really make a nice difference.  Removal of the prominent muscle through an eyelid incision just below your lashes can also be done.  Best regards.

Elliot W. Jacobs, MD · Answer

More than likely, you have hypertrophy (enlargement) of the muscles immediately below the eyelashes. This is not fat.You can tell if it is muscle by squinting hard in the mirror (to bring out the "roll") and then relaxing and seeing the same "roll" virtually disappear.The only treatment would be a conservative removal of some of the excess muscle -- which would be done through a lower eyelid incision (just below the eyelashes).  Be aware that if too much muscle is removed, the eyelid could fall away from the eyeball.  Therefore, a conservative removal by an expert surgeon would be needed.  Some muscle obviously must remain and therefore the goal of the surgery would be improvement in the "roll" -- but not perfection.Elliot Jacobs, MDNew York City

Perhaps botox? You should make an appointment with a licensed injector for a free consultation.
