I am being told a face lift will not correct wrinkles around eyes and that botox should be used. I am sorry but what did we do before botox?? I m finding this hard to believe! I have tried botox multiple times and to correct my deep line it messes up my smile and I look weird and I've been to excellent doctors. Seriously, you mean no surgical procedure will correct this? Why can I barely pull my skin back (see pics) and it makes them disappear????? Help!
Answer: Treatment of Wrinkling During Smiling The wrinkling you are describing are secondary to repetitive muscle movement and changes of the skin during the aging process. These lines are not secondary to sagging tissue or loss of volume in the face. Due to these reasons, lifting the skin during the facelift will not improve these lines.The only way to improve these areas are to limit movement in this area with treatment of Botox or improve the quality of skin. The skin can be improved by variety of skin treatments including lasers, chemical peels, or micro-needling treatments.I hope this helps

Answer: Periorbital wrinkles The answer is NO. You are the type that needs to look at the individual anatomical features of your face and then determine which procedure is ideal for each. It is highly unlikely that surgical intervention of any sort will work around your eyes and satisfy your goals. Look at Botox, laser and fillers.

Answer: Eyelid wrinkles It appears as though Botox will give you nice results. A facelift is nice, but I would have to see you in person in order to make this recommendation for you.

Answer: Skin wrinkles when smiling The wrinkling you notice when smiling is caused by contraction of the underlying muscle, as most of the experts have commented here. However, this is exacerbated by any laxity in the overlying skin. I agree, tightening the skin does help alleviate the wrinkles caused by the muscle. You have demonstrated this clearly with a slight pull with your fingers. The question is, is it worth the scars and rather invasive intervention of a temporal lift. And, if a temporal lift does effect some modest alleviation of those wrinkles, we will they simply recur as the skin settles and stretches several months after the procedure. I think a more judicious approach to your case, given that you do not like the effect of Botox, is to try some form of laser skin tightening. There are several machines and lasers out there which can achieve this. This may give you some of that alleviation with out the invasiveness of a surgical procedure.Talk to a board certified plastic surgeon.Best of luck!Dr. SubbioBoard-Certified Plastic SurgeonNewtown Square/Philadelphia, PA
