Your eyes are often the first thing that people notice about you, and are an important aspect of your overall appearance. Your eyelid skin is smooth, but over time, the eyelid skin stretches, the fat bulges forward, and the muscles weaken. The eyebrows may also droop and sag (a condition called brow ptosis).
Age related changes often reduce the facial fullness associated with our youth. This is particularly evident is the cheek (mid-face) region owing to the effects of gravity and fat deflation. The mid-face extends from the lower eyelids to the nasolabial folds, the normally prominent line extending from the outer corner of the nose to the outer corner of the mouth.
Many age-related changes in the face and eyelids are the result of fat deflation (diminution of fat volume). This results in a diminution of the normal contours of our youth. Lost volume can be restored through volume enhancement - either through the use of injectable fillers (Restylane, Juvederm, Radiese) or surgical introduction of fat via fat repositioning/transfer or fat injections.
Commonly used facial fillers include hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance already present in your skin (brands include Restylane, Restylane Fine Lines, Perlane, Juvederm, Hylaform ), synthetic microspheres ( Radiesse ), and collagen.
Hyaluronic acid fillers typically last six to twelve months and can be used by Dr. Kohn to improve frown lines between the eyebrows, creases at the corner of the mouth (marionette lines), lip shape and/or size, dark circles below the eyes, and depressed facial scars.Dr. Kohn will review your specific concerns and medical history and advise you about the best uses of various facial fillers for your specific situation.
