Could Restylane Truly Help Lower Eyelids with Tear Troughs and Excess Dynamic Lateral Rolls?

Worried a lower traditional bleph will diminish eye size, for being in late 40s, I would likely need a canthopexy. Also, I've read that excess skin removal is limited with a transconjuntival. Could a precise combo of Botox, Restylane, and a filler (e.g., Radiesse, Juverderm for mid volumizing) at least improve lower lid area? I wish to maintain facial fat and have also some lower face sagging Past TCA eye peel and even minor attempt with laser caused hyperpigmentation, so that is not for me!

Fillers for the lower eyelid area instead of a lower blepharoplasty

In my opinion, lower blepharoplasty is more of a secondary choice. The process of aging really entails a volume loss especially at the junction between your lower eyelids and cheek. This is often referred to as the double contour deformity. Fillers are a great way to fill in this junction and really improve the look in your lower eyelid and eye area. see video

Could Restylane Truly Help Lower Eyelids with Tear Troughs and Excess Dynamic Lateral Rolls?

You ask very good questions, but unfortunately they can only be answered by seeing you in person. I suggest you see an oculoplastic surgeon in consultation.

Lower eyelid rejuvenation

A photo is necessary to assess your specific needs. Fillers such as Restylane can help fill up hollow dark circles around the eyes. Botox/dysport can help with dynamic wrinkles of the eyelids. Excess skin may have to be surgically removed (skin pinch technique). And etc. See an oculoplastic surgeon.

Lower Eyelids and Restylane or Surgery or Botox or a combonation

As mentioned, it is impossible to say without seeing you. The lower eyelids are quite complex. But, if you are in your 40's, I sincerely doubt skin removal will do anything good for you. Skin removal puts you at risk of rounding and/or ectropion and probably will produce no benefit even if you don't have any complications. I would speculate that surgical fat re-positioning would produce the best results based on your description. Also a tear-trough implant... more

Lower lids and Restylane

It is very difficult to determine what treatment(s) will be best for your lower lid rejuvenation without seeing you in person. Consulting with a reputable and well established plastic surgeon will likely provide you with specific options - including limitations and expectations from all proposed surgical procedures as well as dermal filler and neurotoxin options best suited for you.
