Lower Eye Treatment
Wrinkle Reduction
In some instances, the appearance of a small bulge beneath the eyes, colloquially referred to as a "jelly roll," can affect the contours of the lower eyelid area. The Beauty by Doctor team provides clinical options to address these concerns and focus on achieving a refreshed appearance.
Understanding the Lower Eyelid Area
The term "jelly roll" refers to a rounded contraction that forms just below the lower eyelid. This area often becomes more noticeable when smiling or squinting as the underlying orbicularis oculi muscle contracts.
Clinical Approach to Treatment
Appropriate medical interventions offer a method of temporarily relaxing the muscle fibers beneath the eye. This process addresses the projection of the muscle, leading to a change in skin characteristics for a refreshed appearance.
Outcomes and Expectations
Patients may observe a subtle reduction in the prominent muscle contraction under the eye, resulting in a change in the skin quality of the area. Beauty by Doctor prioritises a natural-looking clinical outcome, and results vary between individuals.
