Question 5

My upper eyelids are drooping, I have tried thermage and it made no discernible difference, is surgery an option or are there other methods I should try?

Accepted Answer

Hello and thank you for the question.There are many non-surgical ways to address concerns with drooping of the skin of the upper eyelids and eyebrows.   One way to elevate your eyebrows and the skin of your upper eyelids is to inject the superior and superior lateral aspect of your orbicularis oculi muscle with botulinum toxin. When injected in the proper plane, this can raise your brows, improve symmetry, and make your periorbital region look more open and well rested. Another method for elevating the forehead including the Eyebrows  and upper eyelid skin is with the use of a hyaluronic acid filler, placed under the superior lateral brows,  A third type of treatment includes use of one of many methods of delivering heat into the skin to cause collagen denaturation and temporary skin tightening.  The energy can be applied to the forehead and upper eyelids to raise the brows.  I prefer methods that deliver energy directly to the skin like Microneedling with radiofrequency or erbium lasers.  Results from each method are subtle, but can provide a result that most younger patients are happy with when used in the right combination. And yes, an upper eyelid surgery is an option.  Please be sure to make an appointment for a consultation with Dr. Capuano for an in person evaluation.  Good luck.

Question 6

If I have severe under-eye bags or significant drooping, will non-surgical treatments be enough, or will I definitely need surgery?

Accepted Answer

Non-surgical treatments excel at improving fine lines, mild to moderate puffiness, and skin quality, but severe under-eye bags or pronounced eyelid laxity may benefit more from surgical correction for optimal, lasting results. Our board-certified surgeons will be honest during your consultation—we never oversell a treatment that won't meet your expectations. In some cases, a combined approach (non-surgical and surgical elements) delivers the best outcome. With over 30 years of combined experience, we've refined our assessment process to recommend the right solution for your unique anatomy and goals, not just the most profitable option.

Question 7

What's the difference between non-surgical eyelid treatments and over-the-counter eye creams—why can't I just use a good moisturizer?

Accepted Answer

While quality eye creams can improve hydration and texture, professional non-surgical eyelid treatments use medical-grade technology and injectables that work at a deeper level to address structural issues like volume loss, sagging skin, and muscle weakness. Over-the-counter products simply cannot replicate the targeted, clinical results our board-certified surgeons and highly trained physician extenders achieve with state-of-the-art techniques. Think of it this way: a good eye cream is skincare maintenance, while professional treatments are clinical correction. Our expertise and advanced equipment deliver measurable, visible improvements that no drugstore product can match.

Question 8

Can non-surgical eyelid treatments be combined with other facial procedures, and is it safe to do them at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Yes, non-surgical eyelid treatments work beautifully as part of a comprehensive facial rejuvenation plan. Many patients combine eyelid treatments with complementary procedures like facial fillers, Botox for the forehead, or skin resurfacing to achieve balanced, natural-looking results. During your consultation with our board-certified surgeons, we'll evaluate your goals and discuss which combination approach is safest and most effective for your needs. Timing and sequencing are important, and our team will create a personalized treatment timeline to optimize your results.
