Before And After Under Eye Bags & Dark Circles Case 343

ABOUT OUR PATIENT
Ever since she could remember, this patient had laugh lines that distracted from her graceful good looks. After searching around for non-surgical laugh line reduction in San Francisco, she was referred to our practice by one of her good friends. Soon after, she stopped by my office for an in-depth consultation and has been a patient ever since, for now over 6 years. 

MFI TREATMENT PLAN 
The laugh lines on her face were very visible, and I knew dermal fillers were the best way to treat them.

The ideal strategy was to focus on sculpting her cheekbones with Juvederm Voluma and filling her tear trough with Restylane. It would not have been effective to simply fill the laugh lines or nasolabial folds directly.  Volume loss was the biggest culprit here, and if we replaced it in the correct areas, the lines would smooth out in a naturally delicate way.  

We started off slowly, with just one syringe under the eyes. Four months later, we followed up with subsequent treatments. In total, we gave her three applications of Restylane, two of Juvederm Voluma, and Botox over an eight-month period.

THE OUTCOME 
I loved working on this woman’s case because she had very realistic expectations about the non-surgical process. She knew that in order to alleviate her laugh lines we would need to address several areas of the face with multiple filler applications over time. Even before her first treatment, she knew that it would take time to attain the natural “website ready” results she was seeking. 

In short, she was committed to the total rejuvenation journey, and her results clearly show that. I think you’ll agree that she looks amazing!
