Cause:
- Loss of elasticity and volume in the delicate skin of lower lid.
- Sagging of the lower lid tendon the at the outer corner of the eye causes the eye to lose its almond shape.
Injectable Solution:
Fillers such as Belotero, Radiesse, Restylane, Voluma, and Sculptra or fat grafting conservatively placed can re-volumize the deflated skin.
Laser Solution:
Fractional or Ablative Laser Resurfacing will stimulate collagen production and help tighten the excess skin to improve wrinkles and laxity of the lower lid.
Surgical Solution:
Lower blepharoplasty with re-draping of the tissues and removal of excess skin. This results in a smooth lid-cheek junction.
Product Solution:
Products with a retinoid and Vitamin C to build collagen and an eye cream to restore elasticity to the skin.
Prevention:
- Sunscreen
- Topical skin care products with a retinoid and Vitamin C to build collagen and an eye cream to restore elasticity to the skin.
