Aging eye area. What can be done to improve my overall eye area? (photos)

Eyelids are not car engines. The more you work on them, the greater the potential for harm. Grafted fat is a terrible option that causes lumps and can not easily be removed. I see three to four new consults a week for patients harmed by lower eyelid fat grafts. Rim implants are also generally unsatisfactory and seldom look natural. You do not need an orbital decompression which is a associated with permanent vision loss in one in 500 to one in 1500 cases. Don't do this to yourself. You safest option is the thoughtful placement of hyaluronic acid filler for the lower eyelid to augment this area. You may also benefit from working with a mental health professional depending on how much time you are spending thinking about these issues. There is no substitute for a detailed in person consultation.

Hi @Pioneering250753! The upper cheek is a major support for the under eyes. So when there is volume loss there, not only do the cheeks reflect this, but the under eye can as well with the development of tear trough and under eye hollows. Addressing the volume deficit in the cheeks with the use of a volumizing hyaluronic acid filler would be a reasonable place to begin. Best of luck!

The eye area needs significant combinations to get improvement. Lasers like erbium, co2, halo, profractional/contour, or Fraxel can all be used to build collagen long term. Plasma pen is a newer less invasive option but will take many treatments and require proper skincare. Plasma Pen is focused electrical plasma energy to tighten skin, producing small columns of energy just above the skin, allowing the skin to tighten to help improve wrinkles. This area will have 3-5 days of small “dots” that will then scab and peel, then the skin will tighter and brighter after. Numerous treatments are needed over lasers where only one or two give a bigger result, but more downtime. After plasma pen you NEED peels 2 weeks like later Cosmelan, enlighten or aerify, see emeragecosmetics (link). At home derma rolling should be started weekly even after plasma pen or lasers to further increase collagen, see emeragecosmetics AERIFY x anteagemd stem cell ampules. To properly heal you need light Stim red LED, EmerageSkin refit face, refit eye; AnteageMD serum, silagen silicone gel, jan Marini bioshield, EmerageSkin enzymatic polish, and EmerageSkin hyla b and AOX, and Sente dermal repair. Otherwise there is EXTREME risk of pigmentation issues and “dots” in the treatment area. at home peels like cosmelan, enlighten and aerify along with dermarolling (AERIFY emerageskin roller with Anteage MD ampules) should be started now regardless for antiaging, sun damage, and wrinkle prevention. 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 eyelid blepharoplasty with or without fat pad repositioning (if doing lower eyelid surgery) 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, PiXel8 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.

The upper cheek region is a very important area for contrbuting to a more youthful appearance to the under eyes. When there is signficiant volume deficit in this region, the area is flattened and the under eye regions can appear hollow with tear trough development--as seems to be the case here. If this is indeed so, then the use of a robust HA volumizing filler appropriately injected into the upper cheek region (more medially in order to maintain a masculine face), not only will the cheeks appear more youthful, but the under eye region will secondarily be improved, This can be accomplished by quite quickly in about ten minutes in the hands of an experienced, physician injector. Avoiding over filling the upper outer cheeks is very important in male faces, so as not to feminize them. So, you would be wise to consult with a board certified cosmetic dermatologist. Best of luck.

Hello. A younger eye contour starts with a more dynamic eyebrow appearance. Therefore, after bringing your eyebrows to the ideal place, you may even have some excess in your upper eyelid, which may need to be removed. But the main problem on your face is the bags around your lower eyelid and unfortunately a hollow midface due to the small size of your midface bone. Therefore, a lower eyelid surgery in combination with a mid-face lift can help you achieve the youthful and healthy appearance you want.
