My lower eyelid bags really bother me. The skin is so bunched when I smile. I seem to have a lot of excess skin but I don’t have prominent eye bags, more of a slight hollow. I have tried tear trough filler in 2020 which I think made it worse and I’ve also done Co2 under my eyes. Photo 1 is at rest, photo 2 is soft smile and photo 3 is big smileZ Am I a good candidate for a blepharoplasty? Thanks

Answer: No Touch Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty In fact, I think you are a very good candidate for lower blepharoplasty. It seems that you have a slight excess in skin and also a very minimal lower eyelid fat bags doing a no touch transconjunctival blepharoplasty. Would be a best option to correct your under eyelid form.

Answer: Be careful Hi Bright. I would be careful with your lower eyelids especially because they look pretty good when you are at rest and not smiling. If you have too much skin removed (such as in a skin pinch lower bleph to attempt to tighten the skin), you are at risk for ectropion or lid retraction, which are not easy things to fix or deal with. What I see is some hollowing under the eyes (as you noted) as well as hyperactivity of your orbicularis oculi muscle. I would consider filler/fat to fill the hollowing (tenting up the skin in this area will automatically help tighten the skin), skin tightening treatments (laser/microneedling, which may require multiple sessions), and botox to the orbicularis muscle to try to decrease the activity. Also make sure you are already on good eye creams to boost your skin as much as you can!
