I have bags in my lower eyelids. I have had several consultations and they seem split between eyelid surgery alone or eyelid surgery with a midface lift. I have never thought of filling the midface with Restylane® until seeing Dr. Steinsapir’s website. Why did none of the cosmetic surgeons I have seen recommend this option?
First, a personal consultation with Dr. Steinsapir will be very helpful because everyone is different. However, generally, Dr. Steinsapir will recommend the least invasive method he feels will achieve your goals. Recognize that the Deepfill™ developed by Dr. Steinsapir is a sculpting technique that requires a very detailed knowledge of midface anatomy to produce an ideal result. Not every cosmetic surgeon will be comfortable with this approach.

I am wondering if Dr. Steinsapir’s midface surgery can help me?
