Is there any alternative besides surgery such as Thermage?
Thermage is s new and relatively short or low-experience technique to use radio wave energy to denature collagen under the skin surface and get it to tighten up or retract as it heals. It could be used as an alternative to a procedure like a browlift or facelift but it is not clear yet who will respond, how much, and for how long as well as the assessment of any complications and their frequency. It is not used to my knowledge for eyelids so this would still be a reasonable way to get an improvement as a diabetic with a well established procedure that is not as extensive as a full facelift and more assured of a predictable result than Thermage.
