Wrinkles and Excess Skin After Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty? (photo)

June 23, 2013
Asked By:Yoga2016 in Honolulu, HI

I had both upper & lower blepharoplasty 4 months ago. Please tell me if I should have reconstructive surgery for the wrinkled skin texture at outer edge and big wrinkle at inner edge of my eyes. There is also a piece of skin at both outer edges (see pix) that pulls when opening my eyes. Should this be fixed? My eyes are so different in shape which is what I wanted fixed with this surgery. Is that too much to expect? I was also told that the skin area under my eyes will always be slightly swollen?

Answer: The purpose of blepharoplasty is not to address wrinkles. Removing too much skin to reduce wrinkles can affect eyelid function
