Upper Eyelid Wrinkles

Folds or creases on an upper eyelid may be caused by depleted collagen, loss of elastin and skeletal degeneration, among other factors.  Treatment of wrinkles, creases and folds of the upper eye lids can be accomplished with liquid facelift products, utilizing a variety of procedures or techniques. 

To correct wrinkles and folds in the upper eye lids, physicians will often use BOTOX® to lift the eyebrows and eyelids.  For wrinkles that extend upward from beneath the eyebrow, physicians will usually place BOTOX® along the eyebrow’s lateral aspect (outer portion of the eyebrow).  Physicians may also place dermal fillers, such as Juvedermtm or Restylane®, immediately beneath the eyebrows.  This will gently lift the sagging that contributes to the wrinkles and folds.  Some physicians may place liquid face lift products in the forehead or temple regions to provide even more lift. 

Lifting the eyelids with liquid face lift products will cause some or all of the wrinkles to disappear.  The procedures may enhance the smoothness of the skin as well.  One of the ancillary benefits is a more energetic, brightened appearance.
