Fraxel re:pair treatment

Min S. Ahn, MD answers: Skin wrinkling after lower Blepharoplasty

I had lower Blepharoplasty done 2 weeks ago. Swelling still remains, which is normal. What I noticed recently is the exessive skin wrinkling on the lower lidsas the swelling goes down. What should I do to eliminate wrinkling? Could it become permanent?

Waiting for at least six weeks is appropriate before determining if you need treatment of the wrinkling. As stated on this blog, blepharoplasty alone does not address the crepey lower eyelid skin. A resurfacing treatment performed in conjunction witha minimally invasive blepharoplasty can take care of both crepey skin and puffiness. My choice for resurfacing of crepey skin is the Fraxel re:pair laser, which is a fractionated CO2 laser developed by the originators of fractional laser therapy.
