Will Thermage fix my under eye sagging skin, or will a lower Blepharoplasty work better?
Answer: Only mild improvements will be notice with radiofrequency (thermage) For very lax skin radiofrequency treatment will not produce a dramatic result and it works best in areas with less dynamic movements..... neck skin loose abdominal skin etc. Ablative Fractional Laser rejuvenation and excision with blepharoplasty will produce the best results.

Answer: Sagging bags better for blepharoplasty than thermage
if your eyelid bags are fluid cavities, then nothing may work. If they are composed of fat then blepharoplasty is beter. if there is loose skin, thermage might work every well.

Answer: It all depends on your anatomy It all really depends on your anatomy. There is not a single procedure or instrument that is appropriate for all patients. If you provide pictures we may be able to give you more specific advice. Good luck with your procedure/surgery.

Answer: Eyelid rejuvenation Dear SR, the device or procedure you choose really depends on what your goals are. Thermage will give some improvement to the lower eyelids- improved texture and tone of the skin, moderate to very good improvement of the upper eyelids and will help elevate the eyebrows if enough pulses are used in the areas. Eyelid surgery will improve all of the elements- skin, fat bulging, muscle tone and eyelid position- a more complete rejuvenation. Surgery has more downtime but the results will last 5 to 7 years or more. With Warm Regards, Trevor M Born MD

Answer: Thermage vs. Blepharoplasty for Lower Lids Personally, I doubt that Thermage will give you meaningful improvement for lower lid aging. It is the combination of shape and coverage that distinguishes a youthful lower lid region: The transition from cheek to lower lid should be soft and convex, the coverage should be made of smooth skin. If it is only skin that is the concern (which it rarely is), a skin-only blepharoplasty can be entertained. Alternative, skin resurfacing (laser, peel) could be discussed but remember that the treatment has to go deep enough to cause enough skin tightening for fine wrinkles to improve. Most commonly, volume loss, fat excess and skin wrinkling go hand in hand. The most important step is the initial analysis of your particular condition. See an experienced facial plastic surgeon for a thorough evaluation which should be followed by a personalized plan.
