Lower eyelid wrinkles and blepharoplasty

Yes, the lower eyelid wrinkles will improve with blepharoplasty.  There may be better options such as laser resurfacing and chemical peels for lesser degrees of wrinkling such as yours.

Lower lid blepharoplasty to reduce wrinkles

The primary goal of lower blepharoplasty is to remove the fat bags on the lower lids. If there is extra skin, and it appears in the picture that there is, a small pinch of excess skin can be performed at the lash line on the lower lids. This is typically closed with tissue glue, not sutures. If not interested in a surgical approach for that consideration for fractionated CO2 laser resurfacing can be done on the lower eyelid skin in an attempt to tighten up the skin itself.   more

Blepharoplasty generally is not used to eliminate wrinkles

Blepharoplasty generally is not used to eliminate wrinkles unless they are caused by excess skin. If you have hanging skin, removing the skin will reduce the wrinkles. But, blepharoplasty doesn’t do anything about the tone or texture of the skin. It’s usually better to get a laser treatment, chemical peel, or Intense Pulse Light Therapy to treat tone and texture. Also, being treated with BOTOX will help muscle contraction, which may be the cause of fine lines and wrinkles.... more

Blepharoplasty and wrinkles

Obviously there are a number of therapies for lower lid rejuvenation and more than this photo is needed to give you an honest answer.  Lid laxity is critical before entertaining any eyelid surgery as well as the condition of your eyes.  Prior surgery such as lasik is a contraindication to blepharoplasty for about a year after the surgery is performed.

Blepharoplasty and lower eyelid wrinkles

Typically, lower blepharoplasty is done to decrease lower eyelid skin excess and remove fat bags. It is not an effective treatment for removing lower lid wrinkles. If it is done to do that, it may result in pull down of the lower lid and would best be temporary in nature. The laser resurfacing or chemical peel is a better option for lower eyelid wrinkles. I hope this information helps.

Lower Eyelid Wrinkles and Blepharoplasty

Not all eyelid wrinkles are solved with Blepharoplasty surgery. Believe it or not, different wrinkles will respond better to different therapies. Finer wrinkles in the lower eyelid correct nicely with chemical peel or laser resurfacing procedures. Since you do not have puffy lower eyelids, that might be a nice option. Wrinkles that go onto the cheek near the side of the lower eyelid are best treated with Botox. Horizintal lower eyelid wrinkles from excess skin can be... more

It is ridiculous for you to have lower eyelid surgery

For sure someone will offer you lower eyelid surgery.  Lower eyelid surgery is often performed to remove lower eyelid wrinkles.  Frankly it is old thinking.  I think if you go this route, you will mostly likely regret the choice no matter how great your surgeon.  The issue is that you have very little "herniated" lower eyelid fat.  You have a bit of a lower eyelid circle.  In the photo you are smiling just a bit heaping up the lines in the lower... more
