Non-surgical lower blepharoplasty procedure using a laser

Hello, It is important to get the terminology correct. A blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure to remove fat and/or skin and to sometimes lift up and remove excess skin. There is no such thing as a non-surgical blepharoplasty. Often times, I will use a laser (a well established machine without a gimmicky... more

Removal of fat during a blepharoplasty without removal of the skin can leave you with more skin and thus wrinkles.  This is because the fat has been pushing against the skin causing it to stretch.  When the fat was removed you're left with the excess skin.  Some lasers are better than others... more

Dear Sueesquisite, This company is selling a machine that is for laser assisted liposuction. The cannula contains a 980nm diode laser beam that is intended to disrupt fat. Over the years, there have been a number of attempts to melt lower eyelid fat using various means, through a small incision either in front... more

Please be careful around your eyes. You just had surgery three months ago. It may seem like a long time to you, but there is still swelling to resolve and the tissues have not completely gone through the maturation phase. Also, I would avoid "new" procedures until they have been fully tested. There are... more

The 980 laser target is water, not fat. There is no transcutaneous laser that can remove eye bags. Laser resurfacing with fractional ablative and non-ablative erbium lasers combined can tighten eyelid skin and improve wrinkles. I use the Starlux Lux1540 combined with the Lux2940. Other good lasers for this... more

Hi!  I have seen a number of people with this problem after lower blepharoplasty, which is a very tricky operation. I doubt that laser resurfacing alone will get you there, although it can be part of a revision.  Most likely, you need removal of lower eyelid skin along with support of the corner fo... more

As has been stated already, I would wait at least 6 months before making any further decisions. By the way you staged your question, you are not interested in another invasive or excisional type procedure and would prefer something more benign.  I do not have experience with the laser system you... more

Lasers will tighten the skin in all directions. You are still recovering from your surgery, and now may not be the best time to decide if you like the results (they are not final), or to do something else. The thing that may be a problem with the laser is that it may shrink the skin in such a way that you may... more

Apparently you have experienced malar swelling or wrinkles after a lower blepharoplasty.  Your next step will be very important. First, only 3 months have elapsed.  It is best to wait at least six months until contemplating any revisions, even in my opinion lasering of the lower eyelid and cheek... more

It still is early after your blepharoplasty and you might want to wait a bit for more healing to take place.  If after 4-6 months postop you still are not happy, you should visit with a surgeon who does alot of lower lid lasering (using standard well proven lasers) and discuss your options.  What you... more
