Over the last year and a half I’ve noticed puffiness under my eyes that was never there before. I also Have many lines under my eyes which weren’t there only a couple years ago. Would I be A good candidate for a lateral brow lift? Or a conservative lower blephorplasty to help with the under eye lines ?
Answer: Improving Hooded Eyelids -- Botox/Xeomin/Dysport/Jeuveau for Brow Lift, Fillers, RF (Thermage, Legacy, Viva), Blepharoplasty For significant improvement, hooded eyelids require surgery if there is enough skin. For nonsurgical treatments: Radiofrequency (Thermage or Venus Legacy/Viva), injectable fillers, and a Botox brow lift can help contour the eyebrows and lift the eyelid skin. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: What you should know about laser resurfacing Thank you for submitting your question and photos. You would likely benefit from laser facial resurfacing to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while improving mild skin laxity. This treatment uses energy through a fractional laser to remove the outer layer of skin and reveal a new, healthy-looking layer below.

Answer: Filler Cheek Augmentation Can Not Only Create A More Oval, Fminine Face, But Improve The Under Eyes While there is no substitute for an in-person examination that allows for manipulation of the skin, the photos provided do suggest that the use of an appropriately robust HA filler injected properly in the upper cheek regions would not only help to create a more ideal, feminine oval (heart-shaped) face, but would likely improve the under eye issues, as well. If still necessary, a series of superficial peels to the under eyes could further help to diminish the crinkling there. Make sure to consult with an experienced board certified cosmetic dermatologist injector and best of luck. .

Answer: Maybe laser resurfacing or chemical peel Honestly, your photos don't show significant excess skin or fat in the lower eyelids. The fine lines can be addressed with a chemical peel or laser resurfacing.

Answer: Under Eye Wrinkles Your photographs show mild wrinkling and redundancy of the lower eyelid skin. There are several good options to treat these wrinkles. A pinch technique is a delicate surgical technique where a small amount of skin is trimmed out right under the lower eyelid lashes. The incision is hidden in the natural crease under the eyelashes and this tightens the envelope of skin reducing the wrinkles. A second option is a trichloroacetic acid peel (TCA peel) which is a medium depth chemical peel that can be used to tighten the skin under the eyes. The last option is an ablative laser peel under the eyes. Ablative lasers (CO2 and erbium lasers) will remove the surface of the skin and tighten the deeper layers reducing the wrinkles and redundancy. The TCA peel and ablative laser peel require a week of downtime as you will be applying ointment to the treated skin until the skin heals which is generally one week. The skin can be pink for several weeks to months but can be disguised with make-up. The pinch technique has less downtime but does requires some icing for a few days and ointment at bedtime for one week. The stitches are removed at one week.
