D.J. Verret, MD answers: Crepey eyelid skin help

I have crepey, loose skin in my eye area, mostly on my eyelids.  I wonder if having a blepharoplasty can fix the crepey skin problem. Are there any options besides eyelid surgery to fix my crepey eyelids?

Greetings Betty,

The answer to your question depends on where the skin is. For upper eyelid excess skin, surgery is probably the best solution. For lower eyelid skin, you can consider surgery or depending on the amount of skin possibly laser resurfacing or a deep chemical peel. Fortunately the surgery to simply remove excess skin is not a big procedure. Most of the time it can be done with local anesthesia only and the recovery is generally fairly easy, even for someone of your young age. Good luck with your search.
