I am 34 and have EDS. What disturbs me more is the hollow under my eyes and the malar part's going downwards when i laugh..I also have a bit sinking skin around my mouth ..My doctor wants to do a mini lift (short scar )but he desnt want to intervene the midface part and the lower eye as he finds it risky..
