I have a more pronounced under eye bag under one eye. The appearance doesn’t bother me when I’m not smiling. But when I smile, the bag is much more pronounced on one side only. I’m 42 and it’s been like this for about 4 years. I tried fillers about a year ago and it did make the bag blend in when static (not smiling) but it still created an under eye roll when smiling. The asymmetry bothers me most. Should I get the a lower blepharoplasty for just the one eye?

Answer: Wrinkles around the eyes Hello and thanks for the question. The wrinkle you are describing is a dynamic wrinkle - since it only appears when you smile. This means the muscles used to create your smile are also creating the wrinkle. Dynamic wrinkles are usually addressed most effectively using a neuromodulator like Botox or Dysport. The neurotoxin relaxes the facial muscle, smoothing away the line in the process. These injections take just a few minutes to complete and do not require any downtime afterward. Results typically last about three or four months before another session is needed. Make sure you work with a board-certified plastic surgeon who is also an expert Botox injector for best results.
