Best Treatment for Under Eye Loose Skin and Wrinkles? (photo)

Applying Botox around the eyes will help relax the muscle movement and soften fine lines, also applying Restylane to the tear troughs would make a significant difference.

An appropriate skincare regimen, resurfacing procedures such as peels and lasers, and finally Botox or Dysport injections can address fine wrinkles under the eyes. During an in-person consult, you can discuss your needs with your physician and he/she will determine the best procedure for you. 

For restoring volume in the face, the vampire facelift is a great option. For this procedure, we use PRP, or platelet rich plasma. The PRP is injected into the face, just underneath the skin. Over time, you can get around 10-15% more volume in your face, which can last a few years. It takes about 8 weeks to see. The procedure also gives you a better glow. It helps with your pores and your blemishes, and it gives you overall healthier looking skin.

While your cheeks are full from the PRP injection (cheeks will be full for four or five hours), we also take filler, and will put that in the cheeks and lower eyes. The filler is injected through the same little cannula (hole). The filler will remain for six or seven months. Overall, everything is performed in one procedure that typically only lasts an hour. Please feel free to ask me any specific questions and I would be happy to answer them for you.

 

The upper inner cheek region, i.e. that inner area immediately under the eye and extending diagonally upward and inward toward the inner angle of the eye, plays an important role in supporting the lower lid. Loss of fat and downward displacement of the remnant of the upper cheek fad pad with age contribute to wrinkling and tear trough formation (and even dark circles) under the eyes.

Revolumizing that region nonsurgically with the use of injectable volumizing fillers, such as Radiesse and Perlane L (or a combination of these agents) can go far to reestablishing the buttressing to the lower lid and diminishing wrinkles and crinkles. In experienced hands, the procedure takes about five minutes per eye. If necessary, tiny droplets of Restylane L may be layered above this region to further smoothe the undereye area and diminish the crepeyness.

When there is accompanying hypertrophy of the thin muscles under the eyes, the additional injection of a microdroplets of a neuromodulator, such as Botox, Dysport or Xeomin, can diminish this effect and further improve the lid area immediately under the eye.

Treating the periorbital region should only be performed by a board certified aesthetic physician with extensive experience in treating these areas. Because of the profound cosmetic impact that can result from treating the eye region, be sure to insist upon seeing the befores and afters of any physician that you consider.
