Crepey Lower Eyelid Skin or “Sad Eyes”

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.
  • Fillers and laser treatments to maintain volume and stimulate collagen.
