Is eyelid Thermage contraindicated for a patient who has formally had transconjunctival blepharoplasty?

geld_factoryAug 25, 2016
I had transconjunctival blepharoplasty back in 2002 and was interested in trying lower eyelid Thermage to refresh my results and potentially improve the slightly crepey skin in that area. In your experience, does a previous surgery (even if over a decade ago) increase the risk of adverse outcomes with lower eyelid Thermage? Thank you

If fillers have not worked for you I would consider Sculptra or fat grafting into that area. Sculptra would produce your own collagen and last for over two years.  Please consult an expert.  Best, Dr. Green

Thermage works extremely well for tightening the body including arms and legs, abdomen and buttocks.  Please consult an expert since technique will affect the results.  Best, Dr. Green

The best combination based on your photo would be Coolsculpting to reduce the fat in the area and Thermage to tighten the skin.  This two prong approach will give you the best non-surgical approach.  Best, Dr. Green

You would have the best results with a surgical tummy tuck, provided you have finished having children.  That being said, I have had many patients who were happy with Thermage to improve this area until they were finished having children.  Please consult an expert.  Best, Dr. Green

Thermage is fabulous for skin tightening.  I find it an excellent procedure for producing new collagen and rejuvenating the skin.  It lifts and tightens the face, especially the jowl area. Please consult an expert.  Best, Dr. Green

The one main risk for Thermage for the eyes is proper shield placement and selection so that the corneas do not get scratched.  Please consult an expert.  Best, Dr. Green
