This actual patient of mine is pictured before and after Botox to smooth out her crows feet and Juvederm to lessen the dark circles and tear troughs under her eyes. With this 10-minute non-surgical procedure, she looks younger, fresher, and more alert.
Blepharoplasty (eye lift surgery) is actually the gold standard approach to rejuvenation of the eyes-- but this patient is young with good tissue elasticity and preferred a quicker fix. In older patients with less elastic skin, surgery is definitely the way to go.
To get an unbiased recommendation tailored to your unique anatomy, seek a practitioner who is capable of performing the full spectrum of plastic surgical and dermatological procedures. If you go to someone who only knows how to do injections, they won't have an incentive to tell you honestly when you would benefit from surgery.
For a comprehensive evaluation of everything from skin care to peels to injectables to surgery, call my New York City private plastic surgery practice at (212) 452-2400 or email office@LaraDevganMD.com.
