Skin pinch? I dissolved filler and don't want filler anymore.

Question

I was in an abusive relationship and had damage done to my left eye. I had a black eye that never fully went away. Maybe it was in my head. Either way I have done fillers to cover it up for about seven years, but I am really tired of fillers. I've gotten overfilled way too many times. I've had 5 dissolving sessions and think I still have some under the fuller eye. Either way, would I be a con for a skin pinch? Just looking for improvement not perfection. California

I encourage you to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you for a consultation.  If you liked the result of fillers but are not longer interested in the temporary results you may want to consider a blepharoplasty.  You can also look into options such as AccuTite.

Based on your excellent and nicely posted series of photos, my initial observation is to try a specialized capital RF treatment with possible decollate rising laser treatment. Best to do virtual consult with. The RF treatment is the Agnes RF that I have in mind. Fees start from $5000-$10,000. Best of virtual consult with.

Hello 40yearoldtuneup,The concern over dark circles is an extremely common complaint from patients and presents a great question. Many people do attempt to camouflage the dark circle with filler not realizing that filler can actually make this worse by drawing in more water (hydrophilic properties) and causing more "puffiness." A great alternative that has more long term results in a more controlled setting is an lower lid blepharoplasty. A skin pinch will not remove dark circles, that can only help minimize excess skin. A full under eye blepharoplasty can, however, efface those circles by disrupting the orbitomalar ligament and redraping the fat found in your under eye area, effectively eliminating the cause of the dark circle shadows.I would suggest a consult with a plastic surgeon to further discuss your goals and hopefully help you achieve them!Cheers,Dr. Jourdan Carboy Plastic SurgeonAlpenaura Plastic Surgery
