Facial Laser Resurfacing

Hello I recently had a mini facelift and upper and lower blepharoplasty . I am very happy with the results. I have some wrinkles on my forehead , under my eyes and crows feet. I was thinking of doing

facial laser resurfacing for these problems. Would that work? What would you recommend ? Thank you.

Procedure: Dermal Fillers
Location: New York, NY

Hello Lisa.

Glad to read you got a good result. Best treatment and permanent result for forehead wrinkles is frontoplasty. For treatment of crows feet you probably requiere treatment whit Botulin toxine (every 6 months) you can also treat forehead dinamic wrinkles. For static wrinkles could require and additional filler. We can also improve the eyelides skin after blefaroplasty whit additional treatments like plasma soft surgery (plexer, plasmage technology) or skin resurfacing whit laser. But it should be done after 6-12 months after the blefaroplasty. Your case should be evaluated personal to chose the best treatment.

Thank you for sharing your question and congratulations on your procedures. Unfortunately without photographs it is difficult to offer advice as you may benefit from a skin procedure such as chemical peel or laser or may require injectable treatment with a neuromodulator like Botox. Speak to your surgeon, they can offer you the best advice.

Might be useful. Laser resurfacing treats fine wrinkles, skin texture , superficial lesions and can tighten the skin substantially. Face lift surgery principally addresses the supporting structures of the skin, what we refer to as the SMAS that reshapes the lower face, jawline, and neck. The surface of the skin is not altered with face lift surgery. One could only determine whether laser skin resurfacing is a good option for your issues at a consultation.. Best wishes.
