Best blepharoplasty procedure depends on your anatomy

Evan Sorokin, MD answers: Which Blepharoplasty surgery technique works best?

I'm looking into lower lid Blepharoplasty and have received two contraditctory opinions:

(1) that it can be done from the inside

(2) it should be done from the outside.

I don't know which procedure is best? Also, I'm interested in Fractional Laser Resurfacing and wonder if the MiXto is the right laser for me. Any comments would be appreciated.

This is an impossible question to answer without an examination. The "best" procedure depends on your clinical examination. If you have received different ideas from different surgeons you should either go see another plastic surgeon or even an oculoplastic surgeon (specializes in eyes) to get a third opinion!

You need to be comfortable and understand your decision before you proceed....
