My lower eyelids have always bothered me. Even when I was a teenager I had lower eyelid crease. (Does not appear to be fat pads, just large protruding eyes) I don't smile in photos anymore because of it and I'm only 28. What type of procedure would be most appropriate for achieving smooth lower lids with facial expression.

Answer: Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty Thank you for sharing your photos. Many people present to my practice asking your exact question. In your case, I would not recommend surgery to correct the condition. You are young and do not have extra skin around your eyelids, so removing it with surgery will cause your eyelid to pull down (eyelid retraction) later in life.You have dynamic wrinkling that is best corrected with small amounts of botox or xeomin injections to weaken the orbicularis oculi muscle.. Filler injections to your tear trough may also be a good idea to smoothen the transition from your eyelids to your cheeks. Finally, chemical peels or laser resurfacing can give you a general tightening of the skin around your eyes and face. Good luck!

Answer: Botox and Laser Skin Resurfacing Thank you for the question and photos. Your eyelids are not ready for either of the surgical procedures you are considering. You would have less risk and probably have improvement with Botox injections followed by Erbium Laser Skin Resurfacing. Make a consultation with an experienced board certified Oculoplastic Surgeon for evaluation. Good luck.
