Improving results of lower blepharoplasty
An in person examination would be most helpful it assessing your situation, but from the photos you submitted it does appear that addressing your skin texture may be beneficial. This could involve a resurfacing procedure such a chemical peel or laser resurfacing.

Lower eyelids
Boy, it is tough to comment on this without an exam. Photos usually do not show the lower eyelid skin as well as seeing someone in person. It would be helpful to know more of your history as well and perform an exam in person. Skin excision, or possible lasering may help in some cases.

Little improvement after lower eyelid surgery.
It is difficult to say as your photos are a little out of focus, but I can certainly see that you have some quality of skin issues, or textural issues with the lower eyelid skin. I do think that deeper laser does yield a more dramatic correction of this issue as it creates more collage compared to a chemical peel or light laser, but there are limits to how deep you can go as the eyelid skin is quite thin and overdoing it can lead to scarring. In most cases, after a deep laser, you might get...

Blepharoplasty results less than ideal.
It looks as though you have 2 problems: residual skin and deep wrinkles in the skin. Excess skin can be removed and a deep chemical or laser peel done. All of this depends on a thorough evaluation with you for a proper evaluation.

I absolutely agree with Dr. Prendiville.
Your questions can only be meaningfully addressed with a personal consultation. Even the photos you have provided are very fuzzy.
Generally, I think it is important to understand that a conservative eyelid surgery that shows very little change is not considered a complication but rather the sign of good operative judgement. You appear to have very thin, crepey lower eyelid skin and the suggestion of a festoon.
I personally do not like deep laser resufacing for this...

Lower Lid Blepharoplasty
This question is impossible to answer without a consultation and without knowledge of what type of lower lid procedure was performed. Although resurfacing may be beneficial, it may not be enough to address the problem.

Little Improvement from Lower Blepharoplasty
I can see that you still have some residual skin on the lower lids, but all of the photos are blurry and do not show any detail. Without specifics regarding your procedure, it is likely that no real answer will be determined in this forum. However, it appears that you have too much excess skin to have an adequate response from a laser resurfacing procedure. You need to get an in-person second opinion to make a better determination.
