Treating Dynamic Under Eye Wrinkles After Lower Eye Lift and Fat Removal
I want to minimize or eliminate the wrinkles under my eyes. I have always had wrinkles and bags under my eyes from birth. I had a lower eye lift in my late 20's and the doctor removed fat pockets and did a bit of tightening I think.
I wasn't satisfied with the results and I think perhaps I have more lines because of the fat removal. What would be the possible treatments for me? They are dynamic wrinkles because the move when I smile. Thanks for your kind attention.

Treating bunchy lower lid skin
There are patients like you who have very active muscles around the eyes and who squint vigorously from smiling and the sun. When you are smiling it looks like there is a ton of extra skin. This is deceptive however and the true skin excess can only be determined at rest. At rest, there is much less extra. Additionally, even if you remove skin or laser it the muscle will re-create this "look" over time because you can't remove the muscle without losing vital eye closure...

Treating Lower Lid Smiling Wrinkles
The wrinkles you are bothered by are caused by several converging mechanisms. Loose skin / sun damaged skin with excessive active lower lid muscle.

There is no effective treatment for the dynamic wrinkles under your eyes.
The roll of wrinkled skin that forms in your lower eyelids with smiling (orbicularis roll), is a difficult problem to treat. It's the result of the contraction of your lower eyelid orbicularis muscles, and I am not aware of any solutions. Further surgery should certainly be avoided. I have tried BOTOX many times to this area and have been disappointed by the lack of response.
I hope this is helpful for you.
