My eyelids have so many folds and are so crepey looking. Also, what is up with the two huge lines under each of my eyes? Like the part where it is really sunken in under my eyes. I'm 19 and feel like I look way older in my eye area than I am. It makes doing makeup so much harder for me and wonder what can be done to help it, please please please
Answer: Fillers Can Help Smooth Upper Eyelid Skin & Treat Tear Troughs Below The Eyes While it is necessary to have a bit of extra skin above the eyelids in order to be able to close your eyes properly, it does appear from the photo that there is a bit more than the usual crepeyness and crinkleyness in that region. Likewise, the under eye region does show a fairly pronounced tear trough and some darkening. To rule out that the crepeyness of the upper eyelid is not related to excess dryness, allergy, or irritation, I would suggest the use of a mild anti-inflammatory cream applied twice daily for two to three days. If there is no change, the aforementioned problems are unlikely, and the crepeyness may be more directly addressed by the appropriate injection of a filler. A small amount of a filler layered along the border of the eyelid and the brow skin should help to smooth this area. Likewise, filler appropriately placed in the region of the tear trough should help to smooth this region and create a smoother, more gradual transition between the cheek and the under eye area and may even lighten some of the darkness there. Belotero Balance is my preference for the periorbital area in my Upper East Side Manhattan office since it possesses little to no tendency to give rise to the unwanted, bluish Tyndall Effect when injected superficially into the delicate skin around the eyes. (In my Israel satellite facility, where a far greater number of regulatory agency approved fillers are available, I would opt for Teosyal Redensity II). Injecting the periorbital region is an advanced injection technique that should not be left to inexperienced injectors accustomed to injecting simple Restylane or Juvederm into ordinary smile lines. Be certain to seek consultation and treatment by a board certified aesthetic physician and make sure to ask to see his/her before and after photos before agreeing to proceed. Best of luck.

Answer: Upper eyelid folds Your upper eyelids are meant to have a bit of extra skin when your eyes are open so you are able to close them. That being said, there are several approaches to making this area smoother, including a well-planned skincare regimen that includes treatment to your eyelid skin, a conservative laser resurfacing of the upper eyelid skin and filler treatments to help round-out and smooth the area under your eyebrows. At your age, don't do anything drastic- less is more.

Answer: There is nothing wrong you are young and beautiful. There is nothing wrong with your eyelids. the only thing I would say, you have just slightly more prominent tear trough. and that can be helped with a little filler under the eyes. your upper eyelids are beautiful.

Answer: Skin care and fillers Hello and thank you for your question. The texture of the crepey skin could be due to dry skin or other such skin issues that can be helped by following a strict face care regime and use of the right creams such as an anti-inflammatory one. If this does not help, however, I would recommend a non-surgical procedure such as filler treatment. I generally use Belotero Balance, an FDA approved dermal filler, is a soft cohesive “sugar” gel made of hyaluronic acid naturally found in our bodies in skin and soft connective tissue and is ideal for injections around the eyelids.

Answer: Eyelid skin folds and texture issues Thank you for your question and your photos. The upper eyelid is meant to have some extra skin so that it closes well. That being said, if your skin has a crepey texture it could be related to how dry your skin is. For the undereye area if you want to reduce the slight hollow, I would recommend a small amount of filler (restylane) to reduce the shadow. I hope this helps and good luck!
