Am I a candidate for skin pinch under my eyes? (Photo)

Whether you're a candidate for a lower eyelid skin pinch really can't be determined from a single photo. The most important part of the evaluation is an in-person exam, where your surgeon can assess the quality and elasticity of your lower eyelid skin, evaluate lid support and laxity, and determine how your eyelid responds to gentle manipulation.
A skin pinch can be an excellent option for the right patient, but it must be performed very selectively. The most concerning complication is **ectropion**, where the lower eyelid is pulled downward away from the eye. This can lead to eye irritation, excessive tearing, corneal exposure, and, in some cases, require additional surgery to correct.
If you're considering a skin pinch, I would recommend seeing a surgeon who routinely performs lower eyelid surgery. They should evaluate you from multiple angles, perform lid distraction and snap-back testing, and determine whether a skin pinch alone, a lower blepharoplasty, or another approach would provide the safest and most natural result.

The best option to treat dynamic smile lines is neurotoxin. Laser resurfacing and skin pinch are other options, but a neurotoxin would still be needed after. The most important thing to understand is that you will always have some lines when you smile because the muscles have to contract to help close your eyes. So, yes, you could potentially benefit from a skin pinch but it would be my last treatment option for you. Hope this helps.

From what can be seen, you may have mild skin laxity under the eyes, which could potentially be improved with a skin pinch procedure. However, a detailed in-person evaluation is essential to determine if this is the best option for you and to discuss expected results.
I hope this helps.

Your lower eyelid is in excellent position to your iris. You do not appear to have any pseudo herniation of fat of your lower eyelids. You have a small amount of slightly redundant skin of your lower eyelid, and therefore a pinch blepharoplasty of your lower eyelid could help smooth the skin out and improve the contour of your lower eyelid. You also have some wrinkles on the outside portion of your eye, likely caused by your obicularis oculi muscle, and these could be improved with Botox treatments and potentially some skin resurfacing. Discuss this in detail with your plastic surgeon. Best wishes.
