I'm 26 and when I was a teenager I was stricken by an aggressive rash that covered my entire body. After many diagnoses, the only thing that helped was lots of cortisone.My face became dependent on it and I used it for 3 years. I now have thin and fragile skin. I have had IPL and Pulse Dye done to minimize the vessels. Now the skin on my cheeks just under my eyes is sagging with fine wrinkles.Will Blepharoplasty tighten this skin? Will it sag again anayway? It doesn't need much and it's JUST the top layer! Will it last?
