Jelly rolls under eyes or extra skin? What do I do to soften this look? (Photo)

Question

I have what "jelly roll" look under my eyes that I am always bothered with. With full face of makeup it seems to only accentuate the creases under my eyes when I smile. The cheek ledge seems to be what is pushing up creating it. I had the Jelly Roll Botox (it's only two weeks old in the pictures attached and also crows feet botox) neither have seemed to soften the rolls underneath. Is this extra skin that can be corrected or A fat pad that can be corrected? Will filler help? Laser? Plz help

David K. Isaacs, MD, FACS · Answer

I've had patients with this kind of issue and the procedures that can help widely vary, from botox to blepharoplasty. You need a good evaluation to determine what's exactly causing that appearance in order to come up with the best treatment plan.

Obtaining a good injection history (fillers, etc) is also important to me because sometimes these need to be dissolved if it appears they're contributing to the problem.

wrinkles can be improved with lasers, botox, and plasma pen in the office.

at home peels like cosmelan, enlighten and aerify along with dermarolling (emerageskin roller with anteage MD ampules) should be started now.

There are many things you can do to treat under eye hollows and dark circles. A surgical option to remove skin and/or fat will such as lower eyelid blepharoplasty with or without fat pad repositioning will be the best long term.  There are many things you can do to treat under eye hollows and dark circles without surgery.  Non invasive less downtime options such as fillers, lasers, microneedling/PRP, cosmelan peels, and microneedling RF like Fractora or morpheus can all help give some improvement. Accutite can often be used or stronger lasers like erbium or co2 spot treatment can tighten the skin and give very quick improvement in wrinkles and texture.  I suggest you get a formal consultation to see what is best for you and your goals.  Best, Dr. Emer.

I believe you can benefit from lower blepharoplasty but technique is important and ofcourse evaluation in consultation to determine accurately. See an oculoplastics expert.
