Hi I am 45 and want to reduce my hooded eyelids. I am booked to have Plexr Plus. I am wondering if this is actually worth it or should I consider a different procedure? I also have hollow skin under eyes and blue veins that show. I have done filler and Botox but nothing works, PRP and nothing opens my eyes. Regular eyebrow. Surgery is expensive and I was hoping I wouldn’t have to do actual surgery until I am a little older. Should I cancel and what would work best?
