We can all agree that this patients under eye condition would be better served with a surgical intervention. But what happens when it is just not the right timing for the patient and they don’t want to live every day with tired and unsupported under eyes? Turn to Lissè and their collaborative medical team approach. Not every patient presenting with infraorbital concerns is an appropriate candidate for surgical intervention at the time of consultation. The periorbital complex is anatomically multifactorial, with contributions from orbital fat position, tear trough ligament anatomy, midface support, skin quality, and soft tissue volume. While these variables are often best addressed surgically….. there are interim options that are safe and effective.
A thorough anatomical assessment often reveals that conservative, non-surgical approaches can be the appropriate first-line management in these patients who are not able to have surgery yet. When performed with appropriate technique and patient selection, non-surgical treatments can improve contour, support periorbital soft tissue, and address early structural changes without compromising the integrity of future surgical intervention. At LISSÈ we partner with surgeons that support collaborative care and team approach to the treatment plan. Example: we are getting this patients collagen and skin health optimized for even better surgical outcomes when the timing is right. (Ex. PRP/PRF, laser resurfacing, microneedling, neuromodulator, collagen induction therapy, and Sculptra)
Importantly, well-executed non-surgical management does not mean you can’t have a successful surgical intervention in the future. Choose a surgeon who is skilled and an expert in working with patients who have been optimized or temporized with non surgical interventions.
Non surgical interventions can serve as a temporizing or adjunctive strategy that preserves anatomy and allows for optimal surgical timing when indicated or right for the patient.
Appropriate treatment of the infraorbital region is not defined solely by the intervention chosen, but by the precision of diagnosis, patient selection, provider selection, and timing.
