What is This Red Area Below my Eye...also...Restylane or Lower Blepharoplasty for my Undereye Puffiness?

June 14, 2011
Asked By:All Smiles in California

I have a red area below my eye(thought was broken capillaries) but visited a Dermatologist and a Ophthalmic Plast Surg and they are unclear what it is or how to treat it. The surgeon suggested cutting it out. He said an IPL would not likely give results. Also, I want to treat my undereye puffiness, but I would like to know if Restylane would work for the condition of my eyes. This Surgeon suggested the blepharoplasty, but I would like an unbiased opinion/approach from others in the field.
