Skin Rejuvenation for Someone with Scleral Showing?

I'm a 28-year-old female, and I have problems with my eyes. The whites of my eyes are showing, with hollow skeleton-looking upper eyelid from a bad Blepharoplasty. I wanted to get CO2 Laser for skin rejuvenation as my eyes look horrible. I wanted to improve the skin texture and tightness, but I heard that if I have my lower eyelids off the track with the whites showing, CO2 Laser will make it worse! Therefore, now im scared to do this procedure.

What other skin rejuvenation options do you suggest to improve my skin, in a way that my eyes wont get effected? I want a whole face rejuvenation, and maybe something else around my eyes. Anything, please? Thank you.

CO2 laser for eyelids

You should not attempt anythig aggressive on your eyelids such as deep peel or CO2 laser. You can safely undergo both of these for the remaining face but not for the eyelids. The eyelid skin can retract (shrink) even more and lead to incomplete eyelid closure and dry eyes. You should use skin care for your eyelids (lower). Use a facial cleanser, then a toner, then a vitamin C product and finally and good moistruizer. This daily routine will improve the look of your eyelid skin without... more
