The eye area is often the first part of the face to show visible signs of aging, and most women and men would prefer to put off surgery if possible. \u201cIn many cases, the need for surgery can be postponed or eliminated altogether in the right candidate,\u201d says Beverly Hills oculoplastic surgeon Dr. Christopher Zoumalan<\/a>. So how do you know if injectables like Botox and\/or fillers can help you achieve your eye-rejuvenation goals\u2014or if surgery is the answer? Ask yourself these three questions\u2026<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. How old are you?<\/strong>
    \nAccording to Dr. Zoumalan, \u201cSigns of aging around the eyes like crow\u2019s feet can appear as early as late 20s. Prevention goes a long way at a younger age, and beginning Botox to treat these wrinkles can help minimize the risk of them becoming etched into the skin and becoming visible when the face is at rest.\u201d Older patients generally experience additional signs of aging due to gravity and shifts in fat\u2014namely sagging upper eyelids and under-eye bags. However, volume loss such as hollowing in the lower eyelids, and sometimes in the upper eyelids can also occur. \u201cIn such instances of volume loss, injectable fillers can help smooth the appearance of pockets of fat beneath the eyes, however drooping of the upper eyelids usually requires surgery,\u201d Dr. Zoumalan explains.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. What do your parents look like?<\/strong>
      \nGenetics play a major role in the eye area at any age. If your mother or father experienced under-eye hollows, prominent under-eye bags, heavy eyelids or a low brow either when they were younger or as they aged, it\u2019s likely you will as well. \u201cInjectable fillers can improve prominent tear troughs due to genetics, but surgery is usually the best long-term solution for puffy eyelids and elevating the brow, especially when these traits are inherited from your parents,\u201d says Dr. Zoumalan.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
      1. Are you willing to commit to ongoing treatments?<\/strong>
        \nInjectables like Botox and fillers can provide significant improvement for an array of eye-area concerns, but their results are temporary. (Botox can last up to three months and under-eye fillers remain for about one year.) \u201cIn most cases, surgery is actually more cost-effective than injectables over the long term if you are a candidate\u2014especially in younger patients\u2014since improvement can last for at least 10 years or more,\u201d explains Dr. Zoumalan.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        When considering Botox, fillers or surgery to improve the appearance of the eye area, the best first step is consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in this part of the face. Dr. Zoumalan stresses, \u201cEach patient is unique, and while some patients can benefit from injectable treatments, others may be best served with surgery or a combination of both to yield to the optimal, most-natural looking outcomes.\u201d A physician with extensive experience performing these treatments and procedures can recommend the ideal approach that will help you achieve your aesthetic goals both for the short term and for years to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
