Non surgical eyelift options are a good choice for patients who experience “hollowing” in their upper or lower eyelids. Patients who have had previous eyelift surgery using older techniques will sometimes complain of some residual “hollowing” of the upper eyelid. Patients who have never had a procedure may develop this same “hollowing” under their lower eyelids instead of sagging as they age. Dr. Prasad uses Juvederm®, Restylane®, Captique®, Radiesse® and autologous fat (using the patient’s own fat) to enhance the contour of the lids so that the face appears rejuvenated.
Crow’s feet at the corners of the eyes can detract from a refreshed appearance of the eyes. These wrinkles are often referred to as “dynamic wrinkles” since they are caused by muscle movement. Botox® and laser therapy are options that can smooth out these lines and give a rejuvenated glow to the face.
Fine lines are found under the eyelids and are an example of static wrinkles that develop as a result of skin that is aging, sun-damaged, or affected from smoking or stress. This category of wrinkles is best treated by lasers and chemical peels. Dr. Prasad frequently performs this procedure for patients who want to refine the look of their eyes.
