Hello! I'm 36 years old, and had a lower blepharoplasty about a year ago to remove fat pockets under the eyes. It's ok when my face is at rest, but have significant skin/lines when smiling, which make me not want to smile. I've had micro needling and 2 rounds of Morpheus in the area with minimal results. What revisions or procedures would address the skin when smiling?

The eye area needs significant combinations to get improvement. Lasers like erbium, co2, halo, profractional/contour, or Fraxel can all be used to build collagen long term. Plasma pen is a newer less invasive option but will take many treatments and require proper skincare. Plasma Pen is focused...
Sometimes one or 2 rounds of fat grafting along the lower orbital rim can help correct these issues. This can be done in an office setting under local anesthesia.
