Non-Surgical Eyelift in New York

Aging causes the skin to lose its elasticity, making the skin more loose, wrinkled, and crepey. Aging can also cause hollowness resulting in a more prominent tear trough giving the yes a tired look. In some individuals, hollowness is simply genetic due to a recessed bony orbital rim. Yet others have fat pads or bulges in the lower eyelid commonly referred to as eye bags. Hollowness underneath the eyes can be restored using Restylane, or Vollure, cosmetic dermal fillers specifically designed to restore volume and fullness to the face. By restoring this volume, wrinkles hollowness, under-eye dark circles, and eyebags look much better. Dr. Rokhsar may also suggest using laser resurfacing such as the fractional CO2 laser (Fraxel Repair) or non-ablative fractional lasers like the Fraxel Restore Dual laser to resurface the eyelids to create a smoother appearance as complementary procedures.

The number of syringes needed for under-eye filler can vary depending on individual needs and goals, as well as the depth of the tear troughs. However, most patients typically require one to two syringes of filler to treat both eyes. In some cases, patients may need one syringe for each side if the tear troughs are deep. However, in general, most people require at least 1-2 syringes of filler for noticeable results in the under-eye area. Less is more when it comes to fillers in the tear troughs, and it’s usually recommended to start with a single syringe of a hyaluronic acid filler that can be dissolved if over-corrected. During a consultation, Dr. Rokhsar will advise you on how many syringes you may need.

Under eye filler typically takes 1-2 weeks to settle, but the time it takes for each case to settle is highly variable and dependent on several factors such as how much product was injected, how quickly the body metabolizes the product, and how the area is cared for post-treatment. Dermal filler injections can take up to 14 days to settle, and the swelling may take a few days to two weeks to resolve. Hyaluronic fillers may last anywhere from 6 months to a year and a half, sometimes even longer. To help resolve bruising and swelling after under eye filler, cold compresses can be applied to the area for 15-20 minutes several times a day, and strenuous activity or exercise should be avoided for at least 24 hours after the procedure. Sculptra, a powerful collagen stimulator, can take up to 4-6 months to yield final results, but the effects can last for up to three years. Under-eye filler lasts anywhere from six months to one to two years or possibly even longer. Results of the injected filler can be seen almost immediately after the procedure, with full effects manifesting within a week or two.

Immediately after the procedure, it is recommended to remain in an upright position and avoid touching the area for three hours or so to decrease the risk of swelling and bruising. The procedure typically takes only a few minutes, and results can often be appreciated right after the procedure is performed. However, it may take time for bruising to fade, swelling to go down, and filler to settle. It can take a few weeks to see the final results, and the filler can last anywhere from 6 to 24 months.

It is not uncommon to experience some redness, bruising, swelling, tenderness, or itching near the injection site immediately after injecting the filler. These are normal side effects and usually go away in a matter of hours or days. It is important to avoid scratching, massaging, or touching the injection site.

After getting under-eye filler injections, it is important to avoid certain activities to ensure the best possible results. Here are some things to avoid after under-eye filler:

• Avoid getting a massage or lying face down on a massage table for at least two weeks after the procedure. This can increase swelling, especially if you have had filler in your tear troughs or cheeks.
• Stay upright and avoid touching the treated area for three hours after the injection to minimize the risk of displacement.
• Don’t attempt to camouflage festoons with filler as it may magnify the mounds, causing stubborn bags to overtake the midface.
• Avoid blood thinners, such as aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatories, vitamin E, ginkgo biloba, fish oil, and most vitamins and supplements for at least five days before the procedure to decrease the risk of bruising.
• Avoid wearing goggles or eyewear in the days immediately following the filler injections if you have received fillers in the upper half of the face.
• Avoid excessive heat exposure, such as hot baths, saunas, or intense exercise, for at least 24 hours after the procedure to minimize the risk of swelling and redness.

It is important to follow the aftercare instructions provided by Dr. Rokhsar to ensure the best possible results and avoid complications. While under-eye filler is generally considered a safe and non-invasive procedure with little to no downtime, it is important to be aware of the potential risks and complications associated with the treatment. It is important to choose an experienced double board-certified dermatologist and surgeon such as Dr. Rokhsar to have the best results.

Swelling after under-eye filler is a common side effect of the procedure, and it may take a couple of days to a couple of weeks for the swelling to subside.

The length of time the swelling lasts may vary depending on various factors such as the type of filler used, the amount of filler injected, the patient’s skin type and sensitivity, and the technique used during the injection. Most fillers used for under-eye treatment are made of hyaluronic acid (HA), which is hydrophilic and can attract water after injection, causing temporary swelling. However, some HA fillers can hold on to water more than others, which can prolong the swelling effect. Fillers such as Juvederm are too hydrophilic and not ideal for tear trough or under-eye injections based on Dr. Rokhsar’s experience.

Bruising can also occur after filler injections, which can contribute to the appearance of swelling. This bruising can take some time to subside, usually up to two weeks. However, patients can take measures to reduce swelling, such as applying a cold compress or sleeping with an extra pillow to elevate their head while sleeping. Patients who experience persistent or severe swelling should contact Dr. Rokhsar for advice. Dr. Rokhsar recommends taking an oral supplement named arnica to decrease swelling and minimize the chances of bruising.

After receiving under-eye filler, it is important to follow proper aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results. One aspect of this aftercare is massaging the treated area. Here are some tips on how to massage under eye filler:

• Wait a few days: It is important to wait a few days after the filler has been injected before massaging the area. This allows the filler to settle and prevents it from being moved around too much.
• Use gentle pressure: When massaging the under-eye area, use gentle pressure. You do not want to be too rough as this can cause the filler to shift or become uneven.
• Follow a specific technique: When massaging the under-eye area, it is recommended to follow a specific technique. Start by pressing firmly on the inner corner of the eye and move outward along the eyebrow. Then, move inward along the top of the cheekbone towards the bridge of the nose. Finally, circle the eyes three times.
• Use warm compresses: Warm compresses can help to smooth out any bumps or unevenness in the under-eye area after filler injections. Be sure not to use hot water as this can damage the skin.
• Consider lymphatic drainage massage: Lymphatic drainage massages are becoming more popular as a way to reduce swelling and contour the face. This massage technique can be beneficial after under-eye filler injections.

Overall, it is important to follow proper aftercare instructions and to consult with Dr. Rokhsar if you have any concerns or notice any changes in the treated area. While massaging can be beneficial, it should be done with care and following the specific techniques outlined above. If you have persistent swelling or lumpiness, you should see Dr. Rokhsar to remedy the situation.

Under-eye bags can be fixed with the use of fillers. Here are some common approaches:

• Filler injection: A filler material, typically hyaluronic acid, is injected under the eye where the bags appear to create a smooth transition between the under-eye area and cheek. Restylane, Belotero, and Vollue are commonly used hyaluronic acid fillers for under-eye treatment. These fillers can improve the appearance of tear trough deformity, unwanted dark circles, hollows, lines, or wrinkles.
• Filler dissolution: Sometimes, under-eye filler placement may result in the Tyndall effect, wrong filler choice, or other issues. In such cases, an enzyme injection may be used to dissolve the filler. Dr. Rokhsar is an expert in fixing botched under-eye tear trough filler injections.
• Complementing surgery: While surgery is the only way to remove under-eye bags caused by fat, injectable fillers can be used to camouflage the bags. The filler is injected below the bag to build up the tissue around it and make it less noticeable.
• Complementing lifestyle changes: Some simple lifestyle changes such as reducing fluids before bedtime, limiting salt intake in the diet, and using a cool compress can help reduce or eliminate under-eye bags.

You may wish to consult with Dr. Rokhsar to discuss the best option for under-eye bags with fillers. While fillers can create volume and definition for a dewy, fresh finish, experts caution against using fillers as a quick fix without considering potential risks and complications.

Restylane under eye filler can last anywhere from 6 to 18 months, depending on the individual’s body response, the exact form of Restylane used, and the treatment area. Vollure may last up to two years. Some patients have reported that the filler can last up to 24 to 36 months. However, patients are recommended to return for an assessment 6-12 months after treatment to determine whether a touch-up treatment is necessary to extend the effects. Restylane is not a permanent filler, and maintenance injections will be required to maintain the results. Permanent fillers like Bellafill or silicone are not recommended in the under-eye area based on Dr. Rokhsar’s experience.

• Enzyme injection: An enzyme injection can be used to dissolve the filler if needed.
• Small needle injections: The classic approach involves using small needles that come with the filler and injecting small volumes of filler below the orbicularis oculi muscle.
• Different filler choice: Different fillers behave differently and may have varying effects under the eyes. Hyaluronic acid fillers like Restylane, Belotero, or Vollure are typically used for under-eye treatment, but it’s important to ensure that the filler used is indicated for the area.
• Amount of filler: The amount of filler used may vary depending on the depth of hollows under the eyes. People with significant hollowing may require more filler than those without deep hollows.
• Massage: Proper massage techniques after under-eye filler can help distribute the filler and potentially smooth out any bumps or lumps. However, it’s important to follow the correct technique offered by an experienced physician such as Dr. Rokhsar to avoid any complications.

The crepe skin issue, which refers to thin, wrinkled skin under the eyes, is not typically treated with fillers or Botox.
