25 yrs old. Crows feet and droopy eyelids! Why is this happening and what can I do to fix and prevent? (photo)

It's not unusual for a 25 year old to come in to Quintessa with similar complaints. Most of those patients need an endoscopic browlift, but many can be treated non-surgically with Botox, filler, and even Ultherapy. I'd have to personally examine you in order to discuss your best options.Andrew Campbell, M.D.

You should definitely start with a good skin care routine, and sun protection. In addition, a small amount of Botox around the eyes will help soften those new lines you are seeing. 

Thanks for sharing.  You are starting to see descent of you brows, development of crows feet, and some loss of volume. The best treatment at your age would be Botox or Botox alternatives such as Xeomin and Dysport. Also some filler to the lateral brow can help. Botox works to relax muscles causing the crows feet and will also help to elevate the lateral brow to rejuvenate your eyes.  Other procedures that may help are lasers to treat and tighten the skin.  Consult with a few of us experts to see what would work best for you.   Best of luck!

Hi,Thank you for your question.  Botox injections could help!

My best,

Thank you for your question and for attaching photos. You should see a board certified plastic surgeon in your area who has a great med-spa and experienced injector. Botox for the crows feet would certainly help. You should also get set up on a good skincare program with an antioxidant, Retin A and a physical sun block to prevent and reduce fine lines and wrinkles due to sun damage. Best of luck.

These lines are from genetics, aging, and movement.  All can be improved with topical creams, lasers, microneedling/prp, and botox/dysport. See an expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question and photos.  While a full exam would be necessary to give you a solid recommendation, it appears you are a "squinter" and this is responsible for both the crow's feet and the depression of the lateral portion of the eyebrows.  The easiest treatment is Botox or other neruomodulator to weaken this action.  Regarding skin care, sun protection (good sunscreen) is key along with a good skin care regimen.  See someone in your area who can give you good advice and treatment.  All the best!

The appearance of fine lines is a normal part of aging. The loss of elasticity that occurs as we get older may cause us to look tired or cause our eyes to appear droopy. How early in life these signs of aging begin to show up depends on things like genetics and lifestyle choices. Injectable fillers work to minimize the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Skin treatments like microdermabrasion can refresh your skin to help you appear more youthful.  Everyone ages differently, but you can stack the odds more in your favor by avoiding things like smoking, drinking and excessive sun exposure.

Thank you for your
question Runrun123. Botox is a
purified protein used to address wrinkles associated with facial expression such as the crow's feet seen around the eyes when one smiles or squints. Botox is a great treatment for crow's feet and when this treatment is performed a gentle lifting of the brows is usually seen. The pivotal studies demonstrated that the maximum effect is seen 14 days after the treatment. Most people enjoy the results of their Botox treatment for 3-4 months. At that time a maintenance treatment is recommended. Please consult with
a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!

Neuromodulators such as Botox or Dysport is the ideal option to treat your concerns.  Treatment can be performed in as little as few minutes and results can last 3 to 4 months.  10 to 12 units of Botox injected to the Crows feet area of each eye will give you a lift and soften the wrinkles out. Consult an expert injector to give you the best results.  There are very few side effects with Botox without any permanent complications making it the ideal choice
