Can you tell me risks, healing time and what to expect with skin pinch?

If there's excess skin at rest, (not upon animation when smiling only then can you consider a very conservative pinch of skin. The Incision is located directly under the lower lash line, and we close that incision in our practice with tissue glue. No sutures necessary. Expect a visible pink line for a few weeks after the surgery

For those who have skin damage of their lower eyelids, the treatment of choice is not to remove skin until it’s smooth.
The lower eyelid does not have the strength to hold up the skin of your lower eyelid under tension.
Removing more skin will give you a premature entropion.
With enough age, all people will develop an entropion. Removing skin and or obicularis muscle. It’s a good way to speed up the process.
The best way to avoid wrinkles in this area is to avoid sun exposure and be obsessive about sunscreen protection.
You can’t reverse what’s been done, but you can reduce future damage.
Wrinkles in this area are difficult and those who have sun damage are probably never going to get rid of them.
Be careful with what you ask for.
Best,
