Best Treatment for Crepey Wrinkles Under Eyes After Bleph and Fillers

Hi A, I have found that using Fraxel repair (fractionated CO2) resurfacing is the best treatment to reduce the crepey wrinkles under eyes after blepharoplasty and fillers.

Treatment of Under Eye Wrinkles

Lower eyelid wrinkles without laser

Hi. Our first recommendation for crepey under eye wrinkles would be a combination of profractional for tightening and microlaserpeel for resurfacing. However, if laser isn't an option for you then a series of chemical peels would be the next option. There are several different peels on the market for providers to choose from. Schedule a personal skin analysis to determine which one would be best for your needs.

Lower lid skin issue

Fine lines and wrinkles can be softened with lasers or peels. Loose skin can be treated with a simple skin pinch in many cases. An evaluation in person is key and sometimes a canthopexy is in order.

Lower eyelid wrinkles

For static lower eyelid wrinkles, either chemical peel or laser should be useful to improve the skin quality of the lower eyelids. If there is actual excess skin, then skin pinch blepharoplasty may help. For dynamic lower eyelid wrinkles, botulinum toxin injections are useful. See an oculoplastic surgeon.
