What Can Be Done for Crepey, Saggy Skin Under the Eyes?
I am in my 40s, with fair Irish skin. My skin looks pretty good except under my eyes- I have crepey loose skin directly under my eye when I smile. (Crows feet are minimal.) I've read that filler won't help though years ago I did get Sculptra in the hollows and thought it looked pretty good. My skin was not as crepey at that point. Can anything be done?

There are many options available for you to treat under-eyelid skin
Creepy loose skin under the eye can be improved with Retin-A, good sunscreen and moisturizer, or mild chemical peels. If more wrinkles than usual are present, a heavier chemical peel, laser or skin blepharoplasty will also improve this. For depressions or hollows, usually hyaluronic acid fillers are good and also reversible in case of small lumps or irregularities caused by this. The main thing is to go to a provider who has experience in these areas and build a long-term...

What Can Be Done for Crepey, Saggy Skin Under the Eyes?
This is a very common problem. Botox is usually the "go to" option for treatment of wrinkles related to excessive muscle movement. However, overtreatment of the area below the lower eyelid (not crow's feet) can result in temporary drooping of the lower lid. Therefore, these lines are best treated either with CO2 laser resurfacing or lower blepharoplasty. I hope this information is helpful.

What Can be Done for Crepey, Saggy Skin Under my Eyes
My recommended treatment plan for Crepey, Saggy Lower Eyelid Skn would depend upon a examination but I will do my best to respond. First I would not recommend a laser resurfacing procedure at you age. The reasons are: 1. SLOW RECOVERY 2. A difficult post-laser treatment plan.. I would therefore recommend a plan that is less aggressive and will give you about a 25% to 40% improvement:
• Profractional Laser Twice per year
• Microlaser Peel once per...

For Saggy Crepey skin under the eyes
Although it is a challenging area to treat, there are therapeutic options to improve the appearance of loose skin and wrinkles and crepiness under the eyes. The best approach is to see a dermatologist or plastic surgeon for a consultation, and they will guide you with the ideal prioritized approach. Most likely you will benefit from retinoid and moisturizing creams which help to reduce fine lines, conservative resurfacing lasers that help to tighten skin and minimize fine wrinkles, and...

Crepey under eye skin is very difficult
You can use fillers, topical moisturizers, and Botox to the orbital rims as safe measures to gain some slight benefit. Otherwise you would need lasering or surgery or both depending on your exam. The real problem is the potential for the eyelid to pull down (ectropion) if any too much is done or if the lid is at all lax. It may be necessary to tighten the lid (canthopexy) to minimize the risk but that can make you look "different." So, you should see real...
