I am a 31 year old female who has under eye bags and fine wrinkles . I recently seen a surgeon who recommended between 2 ways of doing the Lower eye Blepharoplasty. One was was under the eyelid with Erbium Laser resurfacing. I am unsure if that will help very much with under eye wrinkles Option 2 was the standard way with the cutting and removing excess tissue. I have been researching I can't make a choice , Do you have any advice for me to help me choose

Answer: Bleph vs Laser If there are fats bags herniating forward, then a blepharoplasty is required to remove the fat. If the overlying skin is loose or wrinkly, the addition of laser skin resurfacing is great at smoothing out the skin and making the overall appearance much nicer. This combination approach is often very satisfying to patients.

Answer: Lower lid wrinkles Laser or chemical peel does a good job of smoothing out fine lines. The only problem is that there will be several weeks of redness and you will need to cover that with makeup for a while. Also, the lines will eventually return over time.

Answer: NEW SCIENCE byVillar
Recent research reveals fat herniation is due to a proliferation of orbital fat, not a weakness of the orbital septum, skin, or muscles as we all assumed in the past. That is why attempts to remove bags by laser tightening have failed the test of time. Laser may soften fine lines and can be used in conjunction with blepharoplasty. Best wishes. Knowledge is power.
