It is not the only answer but usually it is the best.

Hello,

Eyelid surgery can be simple or complicated. Simple surgery to tighten lax eyelid skin is very well-tolerated and reliable.

When I read the title question I was prepared to discuss laser resurfacing and chemical peels with you. However, when I read the description of your eyelids it became clear that surgery is your best option.

Eyelid surgery can be done under local anesthesia and can be a very easy recovery depending on the techniques your surgeon needs to use. Simple skin removal has minimal complications and a quick recovery.

The reason I am telling you this is because lesser procedures yield less cosmetic results. Mild crepey skin, which I see as a textural problem, can be addressed very nicely with a laser resurfacing or a TCA peel. Both of these techniques thicken the dermis and help the texture of the skin. When excess skin is present, as well as crepey skin, surgery is the answer.

I hope this is helpful.
