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: What to do about eyelids?

What I am seeing in your pictures are upper eyelids with a poorly defined crease, and lower lids with a prominenet muscle roll and fine lines. For your upper lids I would recommend what is known as an anchor blepharoplasty. This is not a procedure based on taking away as much as reshaping. I see this problem mostly in younger patients like yourself. The muscle roll may respond to small amounts of botox. If you haven't tried Retin A for the wrinkles in your lower lids, I think this would be a good place to start. There can be some reddness to the skin in the beginning, but essentially there is no down time, as the cream is applied at night before bedtime. I would steer clear of lasers, for reasons already mentioned. Good luck.
