FAQ

Accutite vs lower bleph - I’m not keen on the general anesthesia, though. thoughts?

While surgery for the lower eyelids is the more traditional and reproducible result for the lower eyelids, Accutite combined with Morpheus is a close second. Accutite is not for everyone. Those patients with laxity of the lower eyelid are generally not good candidates for the treatment. Additionally, the swelling can last for a while afterward. However, we have seen improvement in the patients that have "bags" of the lower eyelids and some crepey skin. The treatment does not make everything go away but patients comment that they look more rested and in some instances is clearly greatly improved. There is also improvement in the veins that are visible through the skin of the lower eyelids which gives a brightening effect.

What procedure could help diminish my eye wrinkles and tighten the skin?

There are a variety of treatments that we use to reduce wrinkles and tighten skin. Small amounts of botox will make the area more static and reduce wrinkling. To improve texture overall and tighten the skin MicroLaserPeel (MLP) works well. It is an erbium laser peel and will help the skin texture to be smoother and overall tighter. Additionally TCA peels can help improve tone and texture of the eye area. Both the TCA and MLP have some downtime associated with them. Adding a skin maintenance regimen for at home use is helpful for maintenance purposes.

Is this a Pollybeak Deformity?

Rhinoplasty results take time - swelling needs to resolve to allow for the final result. The amount of swelling often depends on the thickness of the skin. Small irregularities can disappear over the year of healing. The best advice is not to touch the area excessively which can lead to thinning of the skin and keep your follow up appointments with your surgeon. A pollybeak deformity would be a persistent fullness above the tip of the nose that is either due to excess cartilage or excess soft tissue/scar tissue in that area.
