Pouches in the corner of the upper eye lid. Treatment options? (Photo)

September 25, 2014
Asked By:Olgaa65 in Toronto, ON

I have visible pouches in the corners of my eyes for the last two years. My eye lids are heavy as well but the pouches are especially noticeable. I am 49 y.o smoker, don't really have any deep wrinkles yet, some jowls sagging that's in my family. Is there a non surgical option for removing these pouches or Blepharoplasty is the only effective option? Sorry for ugly pictures. Thank you.
