Before And After Cheeks Case 171

ABOUT OUR PATIENT
A successful hair stylist in San Francisco, this patient came in to see me about persistent dark circles under her eyes. These circles caused her to look tired no matter how much sleep she tried to get every night. This is a common concern for most patients who come to see me for a consultation, so I had plenty of non-surgical solutions to offer her.

These dark circles were being caused by a particular shadowing effect brought on by subtle indentations under her eyes. Some patients usually try to cover this up with concealer, but that's only a short-term answer to a long-tem issue. Therefore, we discussed the possibility of augmenting her cheekbones with dermal fillers, which would help remove the shadowing effect.

MFI TREATMENT PLAN
For this patient, I applied Restylane injections to her tear trough and cheekbone areas. I also applied Botox to her eyebrow area for a more defined brow lift, as well as to her forehead to remove some of the slight wrinkles that were starting to occur.

THE OUTCOME
Amazingly, this patient received one of her greatest compliments ever about her results from her father. Unaware that she had received a treatment, he asked her what she had been doing differently adding, "You look really good!"
