Dermal Fillers Before & After Case 215
Case Details
Rejuvenation of the eyes is a common request by Washington DC area plastic surgery patients. Nonsurgical and surgical options are available for patients to help smooth and soften the skin, reduce eye bags and dark circles, and lift the brow.
Heavy, excess skin of the upper eyes develop gradually with age to varying degrees. As a result, upper eyelid surgery is a popular option to appear more rested and rejuvenated without necessarily looking different. Upper eyelid surgery reduces excess skin and fat to make eyes appear more open and less heavy. Brow lift may be combined with eyelid surgery, as appropriate, for enhanced results.
Nonsurgical injections of the under eye area are very popular. Restylane® and Belotero® are some facial fillers plastic surgeons use to fill wrinkles and dark circles around the eyes. Results with nonsurgical injections will vary based on several factors such as the specific material, treatment area, and amount of filler injected.
This gentleman asked Dr. Chaboki for eyelid rejuvenation. He disliked "looking tired" from excess skin and fat that also made his eyes appear smaller. He previously tried nonsurgical treatments such as lasers, but was ready for more enhanced treatments by a surgeon. He also had a history of dry eyes.
He underwent upper eyelid surgery and Restylane® injections of the under eye area via awake, local anesthesia. He was able to avoid the risk of worsening the chronic dry eyes, but still looks naturally refreshed after plastic surgery.
Dr. Chaboki is able to perform various cosmetic facial procedures with similar local anesthesia per patient request, such as a mini facelift. After photographs are a several weeks after eyelid surgery. His results are natural with eyes that are now more open and refreshed.
