Under eye wrinkles and creases - how can this be fixed? (Photo)

Question

My left eye is bothering me a lot as it’s creating wrinkles and creases. I have had filler and one round of PRP and it’s not getting better!!! Please help!! How can this be fixed????

Kenneth D. Steinsapir, MD · Answer

I do not thing that PRP does much of anything. I would recommend removing all of the old filler assuming the filler is a hyaluronic acid filler. In my opinion, the volume is in the wrong location. Removing as much of it as possible is an essential first step to getting you to the right place. Do not understand the ability of well meaning injectors to cause you further harm. Do not get talked into surgery or aggressive laser treatment. You do not want to go down the rabbit hole. These services are super fussy. You are asking the doctor to sculpt you will the filler. Avoid the so-called "smooth" filler for this area. Grafted fat is scar tissue and it is really bad for this location. There is no substitute for an in person assessment. Proceed cautiously.

I would recommend fat grafting along the tear trough and orbitomalar groove and a TCA peel to tighten the skin and remove the fine creases.

The eye area needs significant combinations to get improvement. Lasers like erbium, co2, halo, profractional/contour, or Fraxel can all be used to build collagen long term. Plasma pen is a newer less invasive option but will take many treatments and require proper skincare. Plasma Pen is focused electrical plasma energy to tighten skin, producing small columns of energy just above the skin, allowing the skin to tighten to help improve wrinkles. This area will have 3-5 days of small “dots” that will then scab and peel, then the skin will tighter and brighter after. Numerous treatments are needed over lasers where only one or two give a bigger result, but more downtime. After plasma pen you NEED peels 2 weeks like later Cosmelan, enlighten or aerify, see emeragecosmetics (link). At home derma rolling should be started weekly even after plasma pen or lasers to further increase collagen, see emeragecosmetics AERIFY x anteagemd stem cell ampules. To properly heal you need light Stim red LED, EmerageSkin refit face, refit eye; AnteageMD serum, silagen silicone gel, jan Marini bioshield, EmerageSkin enzymatic polish, and EmerageSkin hyla b and AOX, and Sente dermal repair. Otherwise there is EXTREME risk of pigmentation issues and “dots” in the treatment area. at home peels like cosmelan, enlighten and aerify along with dermarolling (AERIFY emerageskin roller with Anteage MD ampules) should be started now regardless for antiaging, sun damage, and wrinkle prevention. There are many things you can do to treat under eye hollows and dark circles. A surgical option to remove skin and/or fat will such as eyelid blepharoplasty with or without fat pad repositioning (if doing lower eyelid surgery) will be the best long term. There are many things you can do to treat under eye hollows and dark circles without surgery. Non invasive less downtime options such as fillers, lasers, microneedling/PRP, cosmelan peels, and microneedling RF like Fractora, PiXel8 or morpheus can all help give some improvement. Accutite can often be used or stronger lasers like erbium or co2 spot treatment can tighten the skin and give very quick improvement in wrinkles and texture. I suggest you get a formal consultation to see what is best for you and your goals. Best, Dr. Emer.

Based on the nicely posted photos you were either under treated by HA fillers or you need another option. I might first offer Radeisse (hyperdiluted) with 1 vial of Sculptra or nano fat grafting under ultrasound guided injection. Fee from $1,000+ Best to virtual consult with....
