Blepharoplasty or Fraxel Laser for Wrinkled Under Eyes?

September 28, 2009
Asked By:Mishka in Toledo ohio

I am considering an upper Blepharoplasty and Fraxel Laser. Thought that I needed lower Blepharoplasty, but the doctor said Fraxel will work for wrinkled skin under eyes. Is this true? Also told me down time for Fraxel is only a little more than a week. I'm considering Fraxel whole face. He also said it would help bring down Juvederm overfill. Has anyone noticed this?
