Botulinum Toxin (Botox® or Dysport®)
Tiny injections of Botox® or Dysport® under the brow, and into the crow’s feet, can release the downward pull of the muscle surrounding the eye, named “orbicularis oculi”. It’s possible to achieve a 1-2mm lift of the brow, smoothing out excess skin above the eye, resulting in a less baggy appearance of the upper eyelid.

Dermal Filler (Juvederm® or Restylane®)
For baggy skin above the eyelid, dermal filler placed in the temples and directly under the eyebrow can project the brow, taking up a small slack in the skin. Juvederm® Volift is a good choice of filler. This is an advanced technique, offered only by our most senior Appearance Medicine practitioners.

If the area under your eyes is a concern, dermal filler placed in your cheek, tear trough or even your temples can reduce hollowing under your eyes and disguise mild eye bags. If you are prone to fluid swelling under the eyes, your practitioner may suggest avoiding dermal filler in this area. Treating the tear trough is an advanced technique, only offered by our senior Appearance Medicine practitioners.

Blepharoplasty
Can reshape your upper and lower eyelid. Excess skin can be removed or repositioned, and the surrounding muscles and tendons can be reinforced. Blepharoplasty can even improve impaired vision caused by droopy eyelids. It may be covered by insurance if certain criteria are met.
