Laser resurfacing not fillers or skin excision is best for eyelid wrinkles after blepharoplasty

Brooke R. Seckel, MD answers: How to treat wrinkles under the eyes after a lower bleph? Will Evolence work?

How do you get rid of wrinkles that occured after having a lower bleph done 1 yr ago? Do you have fat redeposited? I think the wrinkles look worse than the under eye puffiness.

It is important to understand that wrinkles on the eyelid skin are actual indentations in the skin--permanent skin creases caused by sun damage and aging woith loss of skin collagen. Simply excisiong more skin or injecting Evolence, retsylane or other soft tissue filler will NOT remove a skin wrinkle. The lid will be shortened or the eyelid puffed, but the wrinkles in the remaining skin will still be present.

Laser resurfacing will smooth the wrinkles by building new skin collagen. It is important that the support of your eyelid is normal so that the laser resurfacing does not tighten the eyelid and pull it downward.

New fractional ablative erbium laser resurfacing (2940) is safest for the eyelids
