Crepey eyelid repair

W. Tracy Hankins, 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?

Not only are there other options, these may be preferable, depending on the degree of skin laxity, lid laxity, fat pockets.  Fractional ablative lasers offer a controlled way to tighten skin in this area with relatively little downtime.  Other options include a phenol peel, which can give an excellent, cost-effective result in this situation.  Good luck!
