A: It appears to me that you have had a significant result from your Coolsculpting, After you reduce the fat, your skin can appear lax. This can result in these lines- which I presume is worse when you lift your head, as in the photo. When your head is in neutral, or looking straight ahead, your skin may appear to sag. This lax skin may be treated with surgery, or various skin tightening measures. Your best non-surgical fix to this may be a series of Facetite,Morpheus8, Profound or Fractora. These techniques are quite effective at tightening lax skin non-surgically. I hope this helps.

A: This is an amazing procedure if done right. The results can last well over a year- even with a simple hyalouronic acid filler! I typically use Restylane or Restylane Refyne in this space. Trying to find an experienced provider can be difficult. I would seek out an occuloplastic surgeon, or very experienced injector. Dr. Steven Mulholland in Toronto must perform this procedure. Maybe try a consult with him. If he doesn’t, Connecticut is a nice place to visit in the Spring/Summer. Best of luck.

A: Such a tough area, even for seasoned injectors. First, it is important to establish whether your eyes were symmetrical prior to injections. Was one tear trough worse than the other? Did he compensate for that? Also, the differences in product is significant because Juvederm is more hydrophilic (pulls more fluid into the area and holds onto the fluid). I do typically use Restylane in this area, but worldwide Juvederm is often used by talented providers. Both can work. It this point, and the lighting of your photos, it is hard to truly appreciate the issues, but if you are still unhappy you can easily have the product reversed. The product used, Juvederm, may require the reversal multiple times in stages. Hope this helps.

A: Such pretty lips! You have great shape to your lips. Filler is not always the best answer for agummy smile. I would recommend starting with well placed Botox to limit the rise of your gums on either side. Given that you are asymmetrical, it may take different amounts in different areas to achieve the proper result. This is not the ‘standard’ injection - put the same amount evenly on both sides. After symmetry is achieved, filler can be used to augment the lip,provide detail and size. This is worth trying first. Go slowly in steps to find the best answer. Slow and steady wins the race.
