Hello, Would a lower blepharoplasty procedure be effective in removing excess skin? I was told that Botox cannot be injected in the tear trough area, and that filler would work better to correct the problem. I recently had a conservative amount of Bellafill placed in that area with no results. Please see photo. Thanks in advance.

Answer: Blepharoplasty Thank you for your question. Micro Botox and fillers are a great answer for people to improve the appearance of the lower eyelid laxity. However, it is not a long term result and visits every 3-4 months are necessary to maintain the improvement. If you are a good medical candidate and see a qualified and Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, you would have a tremendous result. Surgery is relatively simple, with minimal downtime. It can be done under local anesthesia or with mild sedation. A small incision is created just below the lashes, while the fatty puffiness is modified and the extra skin removed. I think you would have an excellent result that would last many years and create a more youthful and rested appearance to your overall eyes and face.
