Upper eyelid tightening - what nonsurgical options do I have? (photos)

Question

I had my right tear through overfilled with HA so the provider offered to dissolve with hyaluronidase. Next morning I woke up with half of my upper R side face "eaten out "!!!! Hyaluronidase was only injected into lover eyelid but I think it migrated all over my R upper face. I refilled the dent ( temple and outer side of eye area) but skin is loose now. My upper lid is droopy. What non-surgical options do I have? Thank you

Hi @12376. Thank you for sharing your photos. I recommend trying a RF microneedling device like Morpheus 8.

Best of luck,

As we age, our eyelids naturally sag and droop. A combination approach would be best to see visible improvement. In terms of non-surgical treatment options, I would recommend a Chemical Brow Lift (using Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, or Jeuveau) and filler injections to rejuvenate the temples, eyebrow, eyelid, eye troughs, upper eye hollows, and forehead. I typically combine this with Ultherapy and thread lifting to lift the brow; RF and skin tightening laser treatments to stimulate collagen production and rejuvenate the skin; and laser or superficial RF devices for improvements in texture, color, and any crepey skin around the eyes as needed. In some cases, surgery is the best solution to achieve the desired results. See an expert for a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer.​

I don’t think that your hyaluronidase treatment has affected your upper eyelids. I think you’re simply paying more attention to that area. You should compare photographs before and after treatment and I believe that will answer your questions. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City plastic surgery
