Unhappy with Skin Around Eyes- Will Laser Resurfacing Help Me? Something Else? (photo)

I'm a 30-year-old female with fair, slightly freckled skin. I have been very unhappy with the skin around my eyes lately: it is puffy above the eye and slightly droopier on one side, and below the eye, the skin puffs up when I smile and there are some wrinkles forming. Are eye/eyebrow lifts the only ways to solve the eyelid problem? The botox did nothing. Perhaps I didn't get enough? I have been recommended laser resurfacing for under-eye wrinkles. Will this work?

A: Eyelid surgery or laser?

You should do well with a conservative upper lid blepharoplasty which can be simulated if you lift your brows a little. This should lift the excess skin off your lashes so your eyeliner and lashes will show better. Don't insist the surgeon remove all the puffiness from the upper lid because this will age you.

From the photo, I mostly see generous orbilaris muscle rolls and some wrinkles on the side. The wrinkles are best handled with Botox. The orbicularis rolls respond well to Botox or can be thinned surgically.

A series of fractional CO2 resurfacing is best. Consider concurrent Botox injection in the same area.

Will CO2 Laser Resurfacing Remove Tattoos?

i have permanent eyeliner and the color bled into the corners of my eyes. will this procedure take the color out, or help fade the coloring?

A: Will CO2 resurfacing remove tattoed eyeliner?

Probably not. Many tattoos can be removed by other types of laser. You should go to a physician who specializes in tattoo removal.
