Best procedure for ageing eyes? (Photo)

Question

I'm 27 years old and I would like a lift in my skin as shown in the pictures as I am starting to get triangle shaped bags and sunken eyes which I can see in bad lighting. What procedure would be best to achieve this? I was thinking a canthopexy and endoscopic brow lift. Think I'm too young for a mid face lift? I was thinking first to get PDO threads to see if I would suit it before going down the route of surgery. Wondering if a lower blepharoplasty would be a good choice too?

As we age, our eyelids naturally sag and droop. A combination approach would be best to see visible improvement. In terms of non-surgical treatment options, I would recommend a Chemical Brow Lift (using Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, or Jeuveau) and filler injections to rejuvenate the temples, eyebrow, eyelid, eye troughs, upper eye hollows, and forehead. I typically combine this with Ultherapy and thread lifting to lift the brow; RF and skin tightening laser treatments to stimulate collagen production and rejuvenate the skin; and laser or superficial RF devices for improvements in texture, color, and any crepey skin around the eyes as needed. In some cases, surgery is the best solution to achieve the desired results. See an expert for a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer.​

You see what you accomplished for improving your under-eyes by pulling on your skin?  Well that can be easily accomplished with the use of an appropriately injected robust HA filler. I do that for people practically every day in my practice. The filler can not only help to reestablish a more feminine, heart-shaped oval face, but (much like what you are doing with your finger) will smooth the under-eye regions and create a more gradual transition between the upper mid-cheek and the under-eye regions. I gave up threads several years ago, since the complication rate of dimples, divets, thread extrusion and infection proved unacceptably high, the procedure was expensive and engendered significant post-treatment downtime. And no need, certainly not at this stage and from what can be seen in the photos, for expensive, aggressive, invasive surgeries. You would be wise to consult with an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist filler expert. Filler teatment for this, in experienced hands, should take no more than about fifteen to twenty minutes with immediate, on-the-spot results and engender little to no significant downtime. Hope this helps and has saved you a whole lot time, money and downtime. Best of luck.

An in person evaluation is best, but you may get adequate results without surgery.  You can consider Morpheus8 treatments which can improve overall skin tone and texture.  Under eye filler can help smooth the contours under the eyes.  We also recommend using medical grade skin care products like Transform MD and wearing sunscreen every day.

You're description suggests a midface vertical lift will address two issues. The descent of the cheek is causing the lower eyelid to lengthen when the cheek fat falls below the orbit bone. The vertical lift that I do lifts the entire cheek vertically and the fat is lifted up over the orbit bone edge and over the cheek bone. The lift also addresses the "tear trough" area. The lower eyelid is done at the same time.
