I am 62, and have had lower Blepharoplasty 10 years ago. Now, my under eyes are sunken and the skin has a crepey appearance? What can be done for these?

Answer: Conservative approach is best Blepharoplasty is often considered the removal of fat or skin from the eyelids. These days, more eyelid specialists are trying to preserve skin and fat while shifting the fat downward towards the cheek. It is best to be conservative, because the eyes will look natural. Enhancements are easier to perform on an under-corrected eyelid procedure compared to an over-corrected lid. If too much fat is excised, fat from another part of the body can be grafted in or fillers may be injected.

Answer: Hollowness after lower blepharoplasty 10 years ago In years past we removed the fat pads when doing lower eyelid surgery that can leave a hollow “nursing home eye” look. In my practice, we are conservative and don’t remove much fat, we transpose it. This leads to a smooth and not “sunken” look. If you had lower eyelid surgery 10 year ago, it is possible your fat pads were removed, which was normal for that time period. You may be a candidate for fat grafting or fillers to that area to camouflage the hollowness. Without seeing you it is hard to tell and re-doing a lower blepharoplasty does have its risks. Make sure you are going to a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in re-do lower eyelids and fat grafting techniques for best results.

Answer: Creepy skin and hollow eyes... Improvement options??
Laser or chemical resurfacing can be done to improve the skin quality and adding volume (fat transfer is my preference) can improve the hollowness.
