Hollow Eyes After Blepharoplasty

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD answers: Crepey skin and hollow eyes after Blepharoplasty

I am 62, and have had lower Blepharoplasty 10 years ago. Now, my under eyes are sunken and the skin has a crepey appearance? What can be done for these?

Blepharoplasty of the lower eyelids entails surgical removal of fat. In more recent years, the surgical resection of fat is more conservative, to preserve the volume of the lower eyelid. 

The problem of hollow eyelids and crepey skin is common after blepharoplasty.  It reflects the quality of your skin and the amount of fat removed during surgery.

To address these issues, the most effective strategy is fat grafting to add volume to the lower eyelids and topical retinoids to improve collagen and elasticity to the skin.
