Hi essq2w3e4r,
The brief answer is I can't tell without seeing you.
There are 2 possibilities:
If the lines are caused by loss of collagen in the skin leading to crepiness, you would be better off with skin tightening. I would use a good firming eye cream (my favorite is SkinMedica's TNS Line Refine -- on my blog, look under TNS Line Refine in the right hand column).
Also, I have been doing fractionated laser around my eyes to tighten skin and raise my brows. We have the Pixel laser here but Fraxel, ProFractional and others work on same principle.
Second possibility: The lower lid can become loose and pouched as you lose volume in your cheeks. Putting the volume back in the cheek will smooth out the lower lid. You can see pictures on my blog if you look under Tri Site Bolus in the right hand column.
I hope this helps.

Hi, Everyone, I finally decided to go ahead and get Juvederm Plus to fill out my flat cheeks. I developed what looks like a ridge on both sides near the side of my nose and going down into the cheek area almost immediately. After a week, I went back to my esty who told me the ridges were deep bruising. They are a bit firm. She said that's one way you can tell it's bruising....because the Juvey is pliable.
Ok, it's been 3 weeks now since my injections and the ridges are still there. I called her today and she said to massage the area. I'm concerned because I don't want to break up the Juvey and cause it to dissapate any sooner than it would otherwise. (I just read that inflammation can cause it to dissapate and I do suffer from rheumatoid arthritis...BUMMER!).
My esty is reallly smart and does beautiful work on my friend. Am I just being silly to worry? BTW, I haven't used my Dermawand, Tua Trend, or DPL on my face since getting my injections.
I will appreciate any input. THANK YOU! |
I wonder why you have the ridges on BOTH sides. Maybe it's the esty's technique that has caused the problem.
I'm afraid I don't have anything positive to say because I've had my cheeks done several times and have never been entirely happy with the results - plus it has never lasted very long.
If the ridges don't settle down - all I can suggest is to go back again and complain. Please let us know how you go. |
