There are several options for the removal of crepy upper and lower eyelid skin. If there is significant amount of skin only, often times this can be removed with a simple pinch excision under local anesthesia for both the upper and lower eyelids especially if there are no issues of excessive fat. If there is less redundant skin or only a small amount present, other options include a CO2 laser or erbium laser removal or a chemical peel for the lower eyelids. However, the down time is often longer for a peel or laser than a simple snip excision if it is just loose skin.
