Asked By:minton123 in Almere, Flevoland, Netherlands
I am looking to get something done to help maintain a youthful appearance. I don’t have undereye bags, but when I smile my eyes scrunch up a lot which I don’t care for, and at rest there seems to be hollowing and almost a dent running along my nose/under eye are. What is the best course of treatment here?

Thank you for your question and pictures. How long ago was your surgery? If it has been less than 6 months since your surgery, I would not do anything as swelling and muscle/nerve recovery can take some time to resolve or complete. On the post-op picture, it looks like your upper eyelids are...
You should not have this much anxiety about a facelift procedure. They are generally very safe and you should look great and heal well within 7-10 days. I believe SMAS facelift techniques yield natural results with good longevity.
