Slowly as I age I am developing under eye wrinkles and a roll when I smile. I feel like it is making me look older. What is the best way to help fix this?

Answer: Jelly roll? Hi. You have a nice, youthful eyelid shape. What you are noticing is related to the activity of the orbicularis muscle. When it contracts, in addition to laugh lines, some younger people will get a little roll effect in the lower lid. Botox is an excellent treatment for both areas - and only a tiny dose is needed.For the very mild textural changes you show in the lower lid, either a chemical peel or light laser resurfacing can be performed.

Answer: Muscular hypertrophy under the eye It seems like from your description you may be describing some excess muscular tissue under your eyelid. It often can be easily treated with small amounts of botox in that area.

Answer: Under eye roll can be improved with a very small injection of Botox There are many causes of "bags" under the eyes, but the easiest to improve is the "jelly roll" or "sausage" that appears when you squint. The squinting motion contracts the muscle around the eye called the orbicularis muscle, which in some people can be quite large. A small amount (like 1 unit) of Botox will relax the muscle and improve the roll. If you are older with lower lid laxity, this procedure may not be the right treatment for you. Make sure you see a physician who has experience with these types of injections.
