  • Non-Surgical Periocular Rejuvenation | Dr. Ronald Mancini MD, FACS

    Non-surgical eye rejuvenation with Botox and dermal fillers. Dr. Mancini softens fine lines, restores volume to tear troughs for a natural, refreshed look. Non-Surgical Periocular Rejuvenation Botox and dermal fillers in combination can often nicely rejuvenate the eye area with the advantage of minimal downtime as a “lunchtime” procedure. BEFORE Non-Surgical Periocular Rejuvenation Dr. Mancini has lectured worldwide and extensively published in the medical literature techniques for non-surgical periocular rejuvenation using a combination of botox and dermal fillers. The goal is a natural, not “overdone” look. Example : 36yo female with a history of prior lower eyelid filler s/p Bilateral Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty with fat transposition and botulinum toxin Patient Summary At 36, this patient sought improvement in the appearance of her lower eyelids after previous filler treatment. She underwent bilateral lower eyelid blepharoplasty with fat transposition, combined with botulinum toxin, to smooth under-eye contours and refine expression lines. The result is a refreshed, natural look that enhances her features while maintaining their unique character. BEFORE “Long” appearing lower eyelids with irregular filler AFTER Smooth forehead and “crow’s feet” areas with elevated brow position from botox Youthful appearing “short” lower eyelids with improved contour NON-SURGICAL PERIOCULAR REJUVENATION Functional & Aesthetic Benefits Softens fine lines and crow’s feet around the eyes with neuromodulators like botulinum toxin (e.g., Botox®) Restores volume to tear troughs and under-eye hollows using advanced dermal filler techniques Improves skin tone and texture with targeted chemical peels or light resurfacing treatments Delays the need for surgery while maintaining a refreshed and natural appearance Who Should Consider Non-Surgical Periocular Rejuvenation? Non-surgical periocular rejuvenation is well-suited for individuals experiencing early signs of aging around the eyes—such as fine lines, volume loss, and subtle hollowness—who are not yet ready for or do not require surgical intervention. It’s an excellent option for patients looking to refresh their appearance with minimal downtime, while maintaining a natural look and preserving facial expression. This approach also benefits those who have previously undergone eyelid surgery and want to maintain or fine-tune their results over time. Patients often choose non-surgical treatments to address under-eye shadows, tear trough hollows, or mild skin texture changes, especially when they prefer a gradual, maintenance-oriented approach to rejuvenation. Dr. Mancini tailors each non-surgical treatment plan with the same precision and aesthetic sensitivity that defines his surgical work—making it an ideal choice for those who value subtle, high-quality results. Why Choose Dr. Mancini? With dual board‑certification in ophthalmology and oculoplastic surgery, Dr. Mancini brings refined surgical expertise and an aesthetic sensibility to upper‑eyelid rejuvenation.

Tear duct obstruction is a common condition that can cause excessive tearing (epiphora), infections, and chronic irritation . Surgical treatment requires careful navigation through a complex anatomical pathway. The J-Curve approach provides surgeons with a more predictable and controlled path through the tear drainage system, improving surgical access while reducing the risk of damage to surrounding tissues. This technique was described in: Sobti D, Walk D, Mancini R. (2016) The J-Curve for Navigating the Nasolacrimal Outflow Tract.
